JFK was also a systematic womanizer, and reckless politically. Hoover had a file on Jack Kennedy's sex life as thick as a paving slab. That's why JFK had to take LBJ on the ticket. He was bribed into doing it by Hoover, a good friend of LBJ.

I always thought of Kennedy's humor as little asides, to keep everyone from getting swallowed up in seriousness. They weren't jokes, or put-downs, or ridicules. Just friendly good-natured observations, to bring on a smile, maybe a chuckle. They personalized Kennedy, brought him closer to his audience, made him more likable. And I thought Sorensen wrote some of those lines, or suggested them anyway, in Kennedy's lighter addresses.

Yes, and Kennedy usually was at his funniest, "off the cuff" at Press Conferences. Although I think, esp. a woman reporter [can't remember her name], who never missed his Press Conferences was 'set up' to ask him questions that brought out a joke---or gave him the opportunity to show his deeper understanding and seriousness abt. issues that were important to him.

He was brilliant at diffusing what could have been a contentious exchange, and never attacked anyone personally. Contrary to current practices, when he thought the question was inappropriate for him to answer, he would say so. Today, the press acts like the President is supposed to have something to say about everything that happens on the planet. He stuck to his job, and avoided turning it into a gossip column.

We kill our best leaders: JFK, RFK, MLK, Malcom X - the 4 people were evolving and growing and were cut down - they would have even gone further (breaks my heart that we kill the best, the brightest and most heroic)

His wit cut the ice on so many occasions it would be hard to forget, but when he spoke it was in the interest of all, let us never forget that from a situation of near war he took the world to a new high with America and Russia being good friends happy to work with each other. I think he would shed a tear if he could see the petty mud slinging being aimed at the country he tried so hard to get along with and succeeded. America did itself the worst thingbit ciuld ever do by allowing a few to wreck all the work he did, he was without doubt tbe very best president the U.S. EVER had, and in tbe wings there was Bobby who i am sure had the same qualities, so they murdered him too, what a sad , SAD country they will both always be remembered and loved.

as an Irish catholic from Boston it is so cool to see color footage of JFK in Ireland with the American flag and the Irish tricolour waving. How far the Irish had come having an independent country and an Irish catholic American president leading the most powerful country in the world.

And it might not. And that's the Agreement.

I was 8 years old when John f Kennedy was currently assassinated by different people of that time. I remember before he was assassinated he had a very good sense of humor and that's fine but the thing that all Americans forget that this man family such as his older brothers served in this country's military and gave up their lives for this country to remain free is it still does today and so did John Fitzgerald Kennedy is he join the Navy to fight and to keep America free and when his PT boat was sunk he helped his men get to that Island he went back and forth to get all of his men on that island John f Kennedy gave up his privilege life to serve this country which is more than I can say about this last president ❗. May JFK rest in peace and also JFK Jr. I think the nasty people in this country was afraid that JFK Jr. was going to follow in his Father's footsteps. What made JFK a great president he was a son he was a father he was a brother he spent time with his family and then he had the courage to stand up to Russia when they put the missiles in Cuba ❗💯 he was also kind to people I need fought for justice for all... And he didn't lie to the American people about the world affairs is it was at that time. He was humble he was funny he had courage and he was not a traitor to the Constitution of the United States❗💯👌.

I then ran next to the car for a good two blocks screaming I want a better handshake. The car slow down and he shook my hand vigorously and said how's that. I said that's a lot better he laughed and so did I and that moment in time has been embedded in my memory. There was only one JFK a real president and he was taken out by the power elite because he would not do what they expected

Best President in my lifetime JFK - he was assassinated when I was 18 and to this day, tears still well up to think of that awful time. His wit and wisdom was exceptional especially to me as a teenager. When he was running (my father was a staunch Republican, and at 15 I veered toward my father's politics, which shifted the first year JFK was in office. Also, whenever I saw FDR in film or the like (he had died before I was born) I felt that Lincoln, FDR, and JFK were the most impactful presidents ever. Two of these men were assassinated and FDR died young. Very sad.
