Such confidence under the Texas Sun in Houston in September, 1962. And the subsequent address was magnificent. A presidential address outlining a vision, a course of an historical undertaking and timeless. What could have been... .

[@sttmp]

It was a remarkable speech, one of the greatest of all time, inspirational and grand. Everyone should watch it and listen closely to the President’s words. It will make you proud to be an American, but also sad because we had such a great leader taken away from us.

He And I Share The Name Jack - I Felt A Connection To Him As A Hero Of Mine - For His Intelligence - His Courage And His Remarkable Life .

President Kennedys Texas trip 14 months later should have been San Antonio, Houston, and maybe Fort Worth, but cancel Dallas, his vice president was more popular there because of David Harold Bryd who owned the Texas Schoolbook Depository on November 22, 1963.

Using that building was not a good idea, since the building also seems to have been used to store drugs and weapons, which many of them seems to have been involved with.

[@everettalexander5990]

Pharoset and Mr Rocky Raccoon, I respect both of your opinions, but Lyndon Baines Johnson was an deceitful, insanely corrupt politician. Lyndon Baines Johnson was business partner, friend, and political Ally of David Harold Bryd who owned the Texas Schoolbook Depository Building on November 22, 1963. David Harold Bryd was an big financial supporter of Lyndon Baines Johnson. David Harold Bryd employed Lyndon Johnson personal henchman Malcolm Mac Wallace. Lyndon Baines Johnson was an dirty politician, he wanted to be president so bad he was willing to kill for the job, he created the Warren Commission to cover his butt. Then there was the Cabell brothers Charles and Earl Cabell. Charles P Cabell was Deputy CiA Director under Allen Dulles, President Kennedy fired both Allen and Charles Cabell because they were insubordinate towards him over lack of air power during the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961 supporting the Cuban Exiles. Charges P. Cabell was very angry over his firing by President Kennedy and wanted to kill him. Charles Cabells brother Earl Cabell was the mayor of Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963, he was in charge of motorcades and parade routes. Also, Allen Dulles was on the Warren Commsion. President Kennedy was warned not to come to Dallas, Texas because a month earlier his UN Ambassador Abal Stevenson was in Dallas, they spit on him and threw posters. On the morning of November 22, 1963 while he was in his hotel suite at the Hotel Texas, President Kennedy was reading the Dallas Morning News when he saw the Wanted for Treason add of himself underneath that it said Welcome to Dallas Mr. Kennedy, President Kennedy told his wife Jackie honey it looks like we will be going into nut country today, his vice president Lyndon Baines Johnson had a lot of influence in Texas and especially Dallas, Texas. I wish President Kennedy had ended the Texas trip after Fort Worth. I was six going on seven, I remember seeing President Kennedy on those black and white television, Dallas was hostile territory and to realize Lee Oswald was an flunky and so was Jacob Rubenstein. Lyndon Baines Johnson was ambitious, crazy, and ruthless. This was dirty at an very high level.

JFK was protected by the "A" team that day. In Dallas he was betrayed by a bunch of hungover backups/scrubs. And I include Clint Hill in that category; he, among others, didn't react until the damage was already done. Damn him and the rest for allowing that to happen

[@Kayte-tv2cw]

Obviously you have not watched all of the home movie films taken that day. Clint Hill was the only Secret Service Agent to defy the order from Lead Secret Service Agent Emory Roberts to stay off the President’s limousine in Dallas. Mr. Hill can be seen on the back of the limo off and on throughout the motorcade route, whenever he thought that his presence was warranted. Clint Hill started running IN THE LINE OF FIRE from the Secret Service follow up car to the Presidential limousine IMMEDIATELY after the first shot rang out. Unfortunately, he did not reach the limousine until immediately after the fatal shot had taken place. His focus then turned to pushing Jacqueline Kennedy from the trunk back into her seat of the car. He then shielded the President and Jackie with his body on the way to Parkland Hospital. Without Clint Hill, Jackie most likely would have fallen off of the trunk of the limousine as it began speeding to Parkland Hospital. She could have been badly injured, or killed. I think that Clint Hill was a hero that day in Dallas. Jacqueline Kennedy recommended Clint Hill for the highest award for bravery given by the Secret Service Agency. Two weeks after Dallas, the award was presented to Mr. Hill in a small ceremony attended by his wife and children, Jacqueline Kennedy, and members of President Kennedy’s family.

[@milcotto4153]

It was all planned to happen that way. It didn't happen by accident. Clint Hill seems to have known a lot more about the plot than he is willing to talk about, in my opinion.

[@Kayte-tv2cw]

@Jason A I would have to agree with you on that. Secret Service Agent William Greer (limousine driver), and President Kennedy’s personal Secret Service Agent, Roy Kellerman (who sat in the front passenger seat) both should have been fired immediately.

[@Kayte-tv2cw]

I also believe that Emory Roberts, the lead Secret Service Agent in Dallas, should have been fired. He is the one who called other agents off of President Kennedy’s limousine at Love Field. There are KZbin videos of Roberts standing up in the Secret Service car and yelling at the confused agents to stay off the President’s car. Before the fatal head shot, Clint Hill began running to protect President Kennedy. At the same time, Agent Jack Ready also began running to President Kennedy’s limousine. Emory Roberts ordered Agent Ready to return to the Secret Service car.
