I stood in a snowbank up to my knees to watch JFK make his inaugural speech. It thrilled me then and it still thrills me now. Regrettably, I also watched his funeral cortege in person just three short years later.

@@1burnman Martin Sheen was too small and rotund to play the President. His voice was also pitched too high. Blood on your 👉 🇺🇸 hands killing two great brothers. On these type channels I never see comments of regret and responsibility. As a nation you're in denial about what happened. You're more controlled; than you realise. As for what would have happened. A personal opinion.... In Feb 1964 The Beatles arrived. 🇺🇸 latched on more than anywhere. Britain was used to that type of humour and direct delivery. 🇺🇸 were still grieving for JFK. Beatles replaced the fan adoration for JFK; and so did the British 🎶 invasion.

I was born a few months after Kennedy was elected. I was a toddler when he died. My family was devastated. I remember that far back. It was always a subject that was talked about in my family. They were always Democrats. They worshiped this man. After that my father went to Vietnam. Nothing was ever the same. I always wondered if things would have been different if Kennedy had lived. Politics has nothing to do with our welfare. It's all about the Rich.

I was 9 months old, and my mother was folding laundry when she watched live on television , Kennedy being shot to death in Dallas. This is how I found out about "who is John F. Kennedy." She told me one day, when I asked about a picture of the brothers that hung in our home, still does. Along with cards, letters from Esther Kennedy, thank you cards from the condolence cards my mother send when at different times with BOTH of them were assassinated. I was curious about them as a child growing up and looking through this collection my mother had in a show box. I graduated from high school in 1981 and was given the "sanitized version" of US history. AS an adult I have had to "dig out the facts" about our country and find the real story of the Kennedy's on my own. This is the first time I am seeing this mini series, as I was already, as young adult, hard at work--working 40-50 hours a week in a local ER after taking courses at a local community college. My last job in medical after 17 years was nursing. I was injured on the job, wound up on SSDI at age 36--frustrated. I have had lots of time to read, research and study. I also volunteer helping others as much as I can. From what I have seen so far, this is pretty much going along with what I found in my research. JFK is remembered as some type of saint. But in reality he was a womanizer, cheated on his wife, and had pretty low morals. The family background comes from criminal activities to gain their wealth from being part of the IRISH MAFIA way back in the early days of Irish immigration. There was a lot of corruption in police and regarding alcohol sales and regarding early movie making and some financial dealings with stock. As time went on the "Patriarch" of the family, Joseph tried to go more legitimate by accepting government type jobs, specifically an ambassadorship to London England in which he rubbed shoulders with the royal family, and even met Winston Churchill. Even these things Joseph did, did not change HIS lifestyle of running around, and womanizing, a trait his son picked up from him. He pinned his hopes on John to someday become President. Hiding behind their religion to cover up a host of sins, does not excuse the behavior. Jackie Kennedy coped with this behavior by spending money on clothing and things as a diversion to her reality. She tried to rise about her husbands bedroom antics. It was a tough role for her, never being allowed to share with anyone the private nightmare she lived. Always being told to lift up her chin and accept it. "All the Kennedy women did." Now after all these years, I get a chance to watch this, thanks! I am now 60 years old!

So awful that his son had to give that salute to his dad on his third birthday after he was murdered. I often think of what it must have been like in those times. It must have been a bit awkward for the Beatles, going to America less than two months after the shooting … they must have been well aware of what had gone on and questioned if they were in the right place, or even doing the right thing at that time. But he did make an impact in three short years. My politics are centre right but Kennedy and his administration did better on the Civil Rights issues at that time and I think that he would have been re-elected, if not for his murder.

34:10 This movie is beginning to annoy me with al of the pot shots at Nixon. Do you want to talk about having no class? Look no further. The reason Nixon had his press secretary deliver the concession is because he was pissed off, and he knew showing that was not good for the country. He was pissed off because he knew he won that election, and he knew Kennedy and his Daddy cheated. If we were exhibiting class, the writers of this movie would have just let that go, without the pot shots.

@@karinkesel5577 Friend, I started following politics as a 10 year old supporting Ronald Reagan in 1980. In the 43 years that have passed since I first came in, I have learned how the game works. From there, it becomes pretty easy to read about historical spin jobs and figure out who is telling what lie and for what reason. With Nixon, it is painfully obvious: he was the first one to tell Hoover to go screw himself, and then Hoover's little boyfriend did EXACTLY what Hoover had been threatening to others since the 40s.

Listen, I am no saint. I understand that the rules were made by people who already have what you want, and do not want you to have any of it. I know that if you want to accomplish anything, the rules are on your list of opponents. So we choose our risks and we make our bets. If you play it straight, there is little risk but you probably won't become President of the United States by your early 40s. If you play it dirty and get in bed with the wrong people, you will certainly get ahead and be pushed to the front of the line. But those people may turn on you and you may not come home from Dallas. We choose our risks. We make our bets. Sometimes we lose. What has always amused me is the way everyone seems to need t treat JFK and his brother like they were a couple of saints. I do not think they were evil, but I KNOW They weren't saints. They are just two guys who made the wrong bets and came up short. I neither celebrate their deaths, nor cry for them. Now Teddy...Teddy was evil. I believe that the real curse on the Kennedy family is in the part where he is the one that lived to old age. But that is another topic.

Sheen is about as believable as JFK as Nixon's Watergate speech was, why is he pulling his accent like that, Do the Brookline, Massachusetts elite speak like that, No they don't. 43:50 is probably the best scene in the film, three men in a dark room only Hoover speaking, slowly., menacingly. . A lot of money was spent making this and it came out looking like a mid-week TV mini-series, did someone say it is. . . could/should have been much better, the Kennedy family story and JFK, in particular, is what made America great, the rot set in the day he died, IMO, 🍀
