. I shook hands with JFK in 1960 on a campaign stop in front of the Elton Hotel in Waterbury Ct.I was 14 years old. I had a huge 12 inch button on my Jacket, that said vote for Kennedy He reached over and shook my hand, and said I like that button .My sister just about passed out she was so excited
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.
@@susannamarker2582 So the lying media tells you. What happens if that was all bunch of BS? Now we know how much that media lies and hates truth. And JFK Junior and JFK are still alive.
@@lamcadams785 It was not a bunch of bs. JEH had a big file on JFK's sex life, that he gave LBJ to force JFK to take LBJ on the ticket in 1960. JFK had already decided on Symington as his running mate.
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.
OH very funny calling my people "primitives" "worthless" and blackmailing the Dutch to sign your New York Agreement selling us to our Asian enemy 3500km away in Indonesia.
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.
The same people who shot JFK shot RFK. Bobby said to a student audience that if elected, he would reopen the file into his brother's death. That had to send shivers running down spines at the CIA.
Oswald was not the shooter. Malcolm Mac Wallace was the shooter, a Marine Corps rifle Expert. Oswald attained Sharpshooter, that's not the best shot. There was a 34-point match fingerprint in the sniper's nest for Malcolm Mac Wallace. Who is Wallace ? He was LBJ's personal hitman from the 50s. He shot John Kinzer, who was blackmailing Lyndon Johnson.

Why can’t we have presidents of similar caliber today? As a society we are supposed to progress, not regress through time. Our technology is great, but our character is much poorer. At least when comparing a leader such as JFK to the kind we have today.
Saw JFK when I was 15 - when he was running for president. Also FDR was dead before I was born but he is also my hero. These two men were amazing people - look what we have since then yuck - seems like we are continually going downhill. 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)
0:45 It is so adorable how he listens intently & loves her so much as if he is basking in her sunlight & how he looks at the ground & is filled with joy & humility at how much he loves her.
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.
@@dionysius1b870 Shouldn't you leave the word on that to the free electorates of Ireland and Northern Ireland, who voted overwhelmingly, in a free vote, to ratify the Good Friday Agreement ? That Agreement accommodated those in Northern Ireland who consider themselves to be British, and it precisely prescribed the agreed mechanism by which the British political presence in NI might change. And it might not. And that's the Agreement.
@@dionysius1b870 Northern Ireland wants to be part of the United Kingdom. It is what it is. No reason to blow up cars and buildings and murder innocent people over something that people in Northern Ireland don't even want.

@@dionysius1b870 Listen, you calling me a protestant is childish. I'm not tribalistic to the point that I blindly agree with everything the group I belong to does. At the end of the day, I'm not Irish, I'm American.. so I respect the fact that my opinion doesn't mean very much.. but I believe in democracy and self determination as a principal. People shouldn't be forced to join a government that over 90% of them don't want to join. It's that simple. Maybe there's a time in the future Belfast wants to leave the UK. I'll be on board when that happens, but again my opinion on this is pracically worthless I'm from Somerville, sorry I misunderstood your question. Hope all is well, have a good weekend
I remember this gentleman very very well, he was a really charming man, he looked good he sounded good and by God he did a huge amount of good, not just for America but for the whole world. 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. I only wish we had them both today Gods peace to them both.
Anyone who will entertain the idea of running for office should read profiles in courage and then watch any documentary about Jack that talks about anything other than the assassination
I, also, wish they were both here today. JFK was assassinated on my birthday, November 22nd. I watch press hearings, speeches, different videos - such an intelligent man, Charismatic, full of humor. JFK had a way with words. I watch and listen to many of his speeches over and over. I think that a lot of people still mourn that fateful day. Just watching anything about JFK makes me still go into tears. Very fresh in our minds. When we lost him, WE LOST A LOT. Nothing has been the same since.
It wasn't just America 🇺🇸 it was the whole world that lost. Fondly remembered here in Ireland 🇮🇪 always. We're glad his ancestors emigrated to America 🇺🇸. The most Irish President of them all, not like the current incumbent. BIDEN is as about as Irish as Tchaikovsky. That's where the wit came from . God rest them all.
He always put America and its people first, his primary interest, their safety, prosperity, and well being, I think America lost its greatest POTUS since Honest Abe Lincoln
Great video my mother never got over his death. His son was amazing, but he also lived life fully. He would be my age. Tragic. No President had his humor or wit since except perhaps President Obama who had some humorous moments of self criticism.
I studied him religiously in college. Read everything. So sad it all ends the same way. But we all go one day or the other. What we leave is what matters.
I was just a kid when President Kennedy was in office but the memories remain bright and indestructible and I will carry them with me until the day I die. He had his human weaknesses to be sure but there was real greatness in him as well. Never the same after that dreadful day in Dallas; we lost so much that day...so very much...
Perhaps but Ireland didn’t form him, beyond genes, so it’s not strictly Irish charm, but it’s very 20th century American charm, and more specifically Bostonian.
@@biniyambeni9125 Got rich from insider trading and bootlegging. He blackmailed and framed a cinema chain owner for rape after he wouldn't sell his company to him, eventually he could buy it for a fraction of its worth. and theres much more.
Of all the president's who served during my lifetime, JFK was the most exciting and interesting...He, like my father was in the Navy in the south Pacific during WW2 and was considered by both my parents as the future of the country....It was a great time to be alive in America..
1:04:23 '. . . that enchantment . . . would depend on, not on his being funny, but on his marvelously clearheaded statement of what we want to believe, and didn't quite dare to believe before he said it'. This better than perhaps anything describes John F. Kennedy as a president and a human being, but sadly also why he was killed.
JFK was a charming and witty man!! I can now see what Marilyn Monroe, Judith Exner, Inga Arvad, Anita Ekberg, Ellen Rometsch, Gene Tierney, Mimi Alford, Marlene Dietrich, Mary Pinchot, Priscilla Wear, Jill Cowen and last but not least Jacqui Onassis saw in him!! He had more women than Prince and Rick James combined!! What a man, what a President GB 🇺🇸

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❗💯👌.
My dad had a shoe repairing shop in north philly, one day just in passing he said JFK stopped in his shop,i about pissed myself,pops tell me the whole story,my dad was a ww2 vet didnt say much about anything,it was while he was campaigning i cannot believe he was on Columbia ave.for anyone reading this it was near temple, i went to the nam, now retired 40 years grocery,whew!!
@William Murray I actually feel that JFK realized what the CIA was doing in the world - not good & and was going to dismantle it - made his feelings known. CIA information to the Kennedys responsible for the debacle The Bay of Pigs, JFK did see the future - peace with the Russians, joint missions to the moon, and the nuclear test ban, would be the way for the future. (Also planned to get out of Vietnam) The SOB's who were profiting from war and were controlling our country thru lobbyists. We would have had a whole different country - de-escalation of wars - no Vietnam, no Laos and no Cambodia wars. (Gulf of Tomkin total lie, like the WMD in Iraq total lie.) Had we used our resources to benefit the American people rather than spend so much money for destruction and death of these arrogant and illegal wars - what a difference! We have assassinated the best and now we have to worst.
November 4 1960 the night Richard J Daly bought NBC news for JFK is the name of the video on TH-cam. I was a bystander waiting for his car to pass it did and I got a tepid handshake. 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

Why can’t we have presidents of similar caliber today? As a society we are supposed to progress, not regress through time. Our technology is great, but our character is much poorer. At least when comparing a leader such as JFK to the kind we have today.
Yes!
We do. Joe Biden is a perfect example.
@@456swagger 😆 😂 🤣!!!
Saw JFK when I was 15 - when he was running for president. Also FDR was dead before I was born but he is also my hero. These two men were amazing people - look what we have since then yuck - seems like we are continually going downhill. 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)
@@456swagger lmao 🤣
He was having fun as president..you can tell he loved his job😊
I do not know that he loved it, but He sure took on the responsibility of the office for sure!
0:45 It is so adorable how he listens intently & loves her so much as if he is basking in her sunlight & how he looks at the ground & is filled with joy & humility at how much he loves her.
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.

@@dionysius1b870 Shouldn't you leave the word on that to the free electorates of Ireland and Northern Ireland, who voted overwhelmingly, in a free vote, to ratify the Good Friday Agreement ?
That Agreement accommodated those in Northern Ireland who consider themselves to be British, and it precisely prescribed the agreed mechanism by which the British political presence in NI might change.
And it might not. And that's the Agreement.
@@dionysius1b870 Northern Ireland wants to be part of the United Kingdom. It is what it is. No reason to blow up cars and buildings and murder innocent people over something that people in Northern Ireland don't even want. I don't understand what you' re asking me when you say "so which was in Boston"
@@dionysius1b870 Listen, you calling me a protestant is childish. I'm not tribalistic to the point that I blindly agree with everything the group I belong to does. At the end of the day, I'm not Irish, I'm American.. so I respect the fact that my opinion doesn't mean very much.. but I believe in democracy and self determination as a principal. People shouldn't be forced to join a government that over 90% of them don't want to join. It's that simple. Maybe there's a time in the future Belfast wants to leave the UK. I'll be on board when that happens, but again my opinion on this is pracically worthless
I'm from Somerville, sorry I misunderstood your question. Hope all is well, have a good weekend
R.I.P. TO THE LATE PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY. SAD LOSS TO THE WORLD INDEED. 😢😢😭😭. FROM, U.K. (2023)
JFK really knew how to put people at ease with his humor. Really nice clips. Thank you. 🙏
I remember this gentleman very very well, he was a really charming man, he looked good he sounded good and by God he did a huge amount of good, not just for America but for the whole world.
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.
I only wish we had them both today Gods peace to them both.
Anyone who will entertain the idea of running for office should read profiles in courage and then watch any documentary about Jack that talks about anything other than the assassination
How old are you?
I, also, wish they were both here today. JFK was assassinated on my birthday, November 22nd. I watch press hearings, speeches, different videos - such an intelligent man, Charismatic, full of humor. JFK had a way with words. I watch and listen to many of his speeches over and over. I think that a lot of people still mourn that fateful day. Just watching anything about JFK makes me still go into tears. Very fresh in our minds. When we lost him, WE LOST A LOT. Nothing has been the same since.
It wasn't just America 🇺🇸 it was the whole world that lost. Fondly remembered here in Ireland 🇮🇪 always. We're glad his ancestors emigrated to America 🇺🇸. The most Irish President of them all, not like the current incumbent. BIDEN is as about as Irish as Tchaikovsky. That's where the wit came from . God rest them all.
At 6:30. "Well I'M Sure We Haven't Done Enough"!!
He always put America and its people first, his primary interest, their safety, prosperity, and well being, I think America lost its greatest POTUS since Honest Abe Lincoln
Great video my mother never got over his death. His son was amazing, but he also lived life fully. He would be my age. Tragic. No President had his humor or wit since except perhaps President Obama who had some humorous moments of self criticism.
I studied him religiously in college. Read everything. So sad it all ends the same way. But we all go one day or the other. What we leave is what matters.
President John F. Kennedy 🇺🇸 🇮🇪 😎 💘
I was just a kid when President Kennedy was in office but the memories remain bright and indestructible and I will carry them with me until the day I die. He had his human weaknesses to be sure but there was real greatness in him as well. Never the same after that dreadful day in Dallas; we lost so much that day...so very much...
Nothing like the charm ✨ of the Irish 💚 ...yes?
Perhaps but Ireland didn’t form him, beyond genes, so it’s not strictly Irish charm, but it’s very 20th century American charm, and more specifically Bostonian.
@@MackNcD right ✅ now, Boston the h***!! out of hereee
Guy was good. Can't say the same for his father.
Tell me about his father
@@biniyambeni9125 Got rich from insider trading and bootlegging. He blackmailed and framed a cinema chain owner for rape after he wouldn't sell his company to him, eventually he could buy it for a fraction of its worth. and theres much more.
@@plantaan26 really??!very astonishing!!it seems his father is mafia don!it is also said that Kennedy had connection with the mafia
@@plantaan26 His father was the devil
@@joannejacob1345 Yep, Kennedy wealth is built on the corruption and misfortune of others
If ever in Fort Worth at site of his last speech given that horrid day is a statue that captures his grace and elegance...
The first bit, Rose and Bobby on the stage, is from after John died, when Bobby was seeking to represent New York in the United States Senate.
I I miss him so much.Compared what we have today
Saddens me to think how little time he'd be on this planet.
We Really Appreciate The Wisdom And Natural Beauty Of Kennedy's Clam Of Totem Dinasty! ❤❤❤
28:00 very funny president. God bless you JFK.
The first video was Bobby running for NYS senate not Jack.
I think people got that part.
.....it's the humour that's being presented
@@genghisthegreat2034 Yeah well, the title only mentions John.
@@dnhy7951 , same house, same rearing, same humour
@@genghisthegreat2034 Oh forget it....
Of all the president's who served during my lifetime, JFK was the most exciting and interesting...He, like my father was in the Navy in the south Pacific during WW2 and was considered by both my parents as the future of the country....It was a great time to be alive in America..
Our President.🇺🇸🕯🇺🇸
John F. Kennedy very good
1:04:23 '. . . that enchantment . . . would depend on, not on his being funny, but on his marvelously clearheaded statement of what we want to believe, and didn't quite dare to believe before he said it'.
This better than perhaps anything describes John F. Kennedy as a president and a human being, but sadly also why he was killed.
"If the Democratic party cannot be saved by the many who are poor, it cannot be saved by the few who are rich 😂😅.
JFK was a charming and witty man!! I can now see what Marilyn Monroe, Judith Exner, Inga Arvad, Anita Ekberg, Ellen Rometsch, Gene Tierney, Mimi Alford, Marlene Dietrich, Mary Pinchot, Priscilla Wear, Jill Cowen and last but not least Jacqui Onassis saw in him!!
He had more women than Prince and Rick James combined!!
What a man, what a President GB 🇺🇸
Is there any video you could send that teaches you how to be funnier or say witty statements
@@that_dude_tk7327 If such a video existed Amy Schumer & Hannah Gadsby would have endlessly studied it. And then, just maybe they would actually be funny!!
But the truth is..being witty is a natural quality one is born with.

Hope that helps?
@@daysofgrace7818 well I appreciate such a thoughtful and authentic response. As for the lovely character you brought up(Amy Schumer) it must've been opposite day when she was born because the name Amy means beloved 🤣

“Well I’m sure we haven’t done enough” 6:35 😂😂😂😂 FACTS
He and Reagan had great humor
Please don't compare that 'empty suit', 'TV Western Narrator' to someone actually accomplished, i.e. JFK. Reagan was never more than a 'spokesmodel' for other people who were really running things.

What about Lincoln?
jFk was unique... what VSion,Eloquence, Witnand Charm.
Plz God bless Jack Eternally..
Goose Bumps!!! 🙏❤️🇺🇸🙏❤️🇺🇸🙏
They were jealous of Him.
What a stark contrast to present pols
I like your funny words magic man
It's quite remarkable what he managed to accomplish, considering he was quite ill with a variety of things (back, stomach and immune system problems) much of his life.
He chose well, in picking the great Ted Sorensen. By far, with editing by the Prez. Greatest speeches in midern Prez history
Jfk was very witty in thee right situation.im guessing he wrote his own jokey comments. He did a very good job...R.i.p Mr president.
Do you have any video that shows you how to be funny or witty
6:25 is the best one
I LOVE that Small reserves me... Thank you Mister President!
OUR COUNTRY HAS NEVER RECOVERED FROM HIS MURDER.
“We’ll, I’m sure we haven’t done enough.”

Who was the lady reporter posing that question ?
@@dmmchugh3714 Helen Thomas? Not sure though.
@@dmmchugh3714 It was a well known reporter who almost always 'set him up' w/ a question that he could give a funny answer to. People often seemed to watch his Press conferences just for that. But she would still often ask more substantive questions.
@@t18amgr No, it wasn't her. It was a reporter who barely ever missed one of his press conferences. n I am almost certain died just a few yrs. before Helen Thomas.
Saw that.
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❗💯👌.
0:17 If a parent admitted that today, they'd be absolutely vilified.
And by evil people too! :(
You are absolutely right.
My dad had a shoe repairing shop in north philly, one day just in passing he said JFK stopped in his shop,i about pissed myself,pops tell me the whole story,my dad was a ww2 vet didnt say much about anything,it was while he was campaigning i cannot believe he was on Columbia ave.for anyone reading this it was near temple, i went to the nam, now retired 40 years grocery,whew!!
Can you tell me the whole story? About JFK and your father.
@@robinwarren8441 not much to tell he (JFK ).stopped in the shop and shook my pops hand,this is while he was campaigning
Put him on Mount Rushmore now. Hell give him his own mountain. RIP to one of the true greats of the 20th century. A legacy that lives forever xxx
Wow, second most mind-blowing JFK clip I have seen.
Come on it was funny
Robert is witty too , a family thing for sure, hb on may 30 any year in timelines
ok the 29 th , made you look , all the best .
I can't watch too much or I would start to cry. The murdering traitorous bastards who conspired to kill John and Bobby and Martin are still free.
and Malcolm X. These 4 men changed my thoughts & ideas Also saw the 4 men growing with each year - amazing people who touched my heart, mind and soul.
@William Murray I actually feel that JFK realized what the CIA was doing in the world - not good & and was going to dismantle it - made his feelings known. CIA information to the Kennedys responsible for the debacle The Bay of Pigs, JFK did see the future - peace with the Russians, joint missions to the moon, and the nuclear test ban, would be the way for the future. (Also planned to get out of Vietnam) The SOB's who were profiting from war and were controlling our country thru lobbyists. We would have had a whole different country - de-escalation of wars - no Vietnam, no Laos and no Cambodia wars. (Gulf of Tomkin total lie, like the WMD in Iraq total lie.) Had we used our resources to benefit the American people rather than spend so much money for destruction and death of these arrogant and illegal wars - what a difference! We have assassinated the best and now we have to worst.
November 4 1960 the night Richard J Daly bought NBC news for JFK is the name of the video on TH-cam. I was a bystander waiting for his car to pass it did and I got a tepid handshake. 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
Mr Jkk jr my man crush when I was a teenager! I just knew he would be my Mr president one day !!
Because of him I am so interested in learning about our presidents I love him dearly I put Trump in his love for our country and We The People.
Makes me sad seeing JFK jnr RIP JOHN JOHN 🙏🕯️🗽🦅
Aunque suene extraño, siento aun hoy un gran dolor y tristeza cuando veo imagenes de John y Bob Kennedy......cuando fue el magnicidio de Dallas yo tenia exactamente 10 años, y en Junio del 68 con Bob 15. Me impresiono mucho y aun los recuerdo........lo peor es que ya con 71 años me voy a ir sin saber la verdad................
Ted, you are no JFK.👈
Who would honestly be able to say these things about any political leader today? Zero.
May 29, 1991 is the day that President John F. Kennedy would have celebrated his 74th birthday.
If he didn't die of disease by then.
Galbraith really hits the nail on the head
Great man.
My favorite pres...along with Jefferson & Quincey Adams.
what year was this recorded
1960's
FYI, JFK starts from 1:45.
Jfk was funny too
He didn't take himself and his image too seriously. He wasn't a pompous 'blowhard'. A big reason he was so popular.
