Athenaism Wait I thought he was John F. Kennedy not Jack F. Kennedy
7:25
This bitch just loved his own comment.
Ethan Plague who cares
I care.
- Great looking.
- Great charisma.
- showed strength (cuba crisis)
- Inspired dreams.
- died before he could disappoint.
- made immortal with his death.

@@DrJones20 How on earth was Cuba a showcase of strength? He fucked up with the decision regarding the Bay of Pigs Invasion, and by the end of the whole ordeal of the Cuba crisis, he surrendered American nuclear warheads in Turkey and Italy.
@@marctaddei7524 Because the American public didn't know that the warheads had been removed from Italy and Turkey. But they did know that the Russian presence (including nuclear missiles) had left Cuba and therefore the US was safe again. At the time it made Kennedy look strong, whilst Khrushchev (Russian leader) appeared weak and was removed from power later.
@Joel Schembri There is no doubt that the Bay of Pigs incident was a blot on modern American history. But, Kennedy handled the Cuban Missile Crisis as well as anyone at the time could have: he removed the Russian presence (which affected their relationship with Cuba), promoted Russian political instability in the Cold War (Khrushchev was deposed), and saved not just Americans, but the world from a nuclear fallout. Kennedy made the Cuban Missile Crisis such a hassle and embarrassment for the Soviet Union (since the public didn't know about the missiles in Europe) that it insured that such a monumental display of war-aggression never happened again in the Cold War. You may disagree with his politics, or his image, or the way he is remembered, but it is impossible to deny that this would be the crowning moment in any person's political life.
I wasn't that popular in the south.
Sad
F
You freed the slaves, but murdered the shit out of native americans. Fu
@bruce robbins he fought in the blackhawk wars. Part of an Illinois regiment before he was in office. He was part of the bad axe massacre. He fought against blackhawk in southern Wisconsin. Do some real research, not just the lies on the internet. Fu, uneducated fool.
@bruce robbins the largest mass execution on US soil was 38 native Americans hanged in mankato Minnesota in 1862, Abe was President and had to power to save these men, but he didn't.
My school is literally called
"John F. Kennedy High school"
From Guam btw
Ok and?
I wanna go there
Bro over here we got a school called JFK school (Idk elementary middle or high)
Same from SoCal
There’s a million schools named after him😂
You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
Andrew Nibbi but for JFK, he could live long enough to see his nation prospers.
Trump is now in his 70s.
vman armand I heard that quote on Spider-Man1 too
George Bush
Unfortunately, as much as I admire JFK, if he had lived, he would have the reputation LBJ has today if he had lived through the end of what would've been his second term in 1969. Of course, if he lost re-election in 1964, things would've been different for sure. I definitely think JFK was a good president, and I don't think LBJ handled Vietnam properly, but I think LBJ is better than we realize. Of course, I'm biased as I am distantly related to him, but LBJ really wanted Americans who weren't well-off to be in a better situation. It's just insane to think that only three Democrats have served as president since him-Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama.
I think despite his flaws as a person, and the mythical legend built through his death, Kennedy genuinely cared about the Nation he was elected to govern. That's good enough for me.
Julia Acceus, He had no flaws as a person, that was J. Edgar Hoover and his lynch mob saying this to justified his assassination!
Julio Acceus- It's hard to find a president who doesn't care about the nation. It's not about the money. And it's not about the power, because there's less of that than meets the eye. So what's left? They want to make the country a better place. That's laughable in itself.
A pretty low bar to clear. Most presidents including presidents that you hate genuinely care about the nation to some extent. Kennedy put politics above the nation's interest many times.
Julio Acceus he helped to bring about the fake Space Program on behalf of his handlers in Rome there are no good presidents anywhere in the world and there are no good governments
well no shit
(I’m Irish British) and my uncle said the only time he ever saw his dad cry (who was also Irish) was when JFK died because of that fact he was an Irish Catholic who made it all the way in America to be President
Interesting
I always find it interesting that nobody ever says anything about people voting for those they identify with. But with Obama the right cries time and time again saying that black people voted for him because he was black. Crazy how hypocritical people are.
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 The Legacy of Gaming
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 there is no hypocrisy. Voting someone for their skin or ethnicity is wrong, plain and stupid.
@@brad5426 exactly you vote for somebody based on their skills, policies and individual. Not on race recognising the colour of peoples skin instead the individual has many problems.
I grew up during that period of history.
John F Kennedy:
1. Supported NASA and went to extensive means to establish our lead in the exploration of space and control of low earth orbit space for strategic dominance globally.
2. Established the Peace Corps and asked for volunteers to aid in helping struggling nations in a widely accepted humanitarian relief program.
3. He spoke of peace and with him war would be the last option.
4. He and his brother Bobby took on organized crime in this country.
5. He stood fast against USSR placing nuclear missiles in Cuba. (Something later accomplished after his death.)
6. He was a decorated war hero.
7. Many of his political failures were due to opposition forces. His secret society speech might shine some light on that. It is nothing that hasn't happened to this day.
8. He was against direct involvement in Viet Nam but had a covert operation as a possibility. He was after all a Cold War president and many of the policies he continued were in play during Eisenhower.
9. He was inspirational to many and gave great speeches. With the full effort implementation of NASA, our nation led in all of the sciences with a 35 year technology lead. Medical, computer and rocket technology led the world as a result. He was an impetus for that innovation.
10. When we walked on the moon, the world was in awe. I remember an Australian newspaper stating in bold headline, "The Yanks did it!"
Compare that to what we have today and in the years that followed.
excellent summary. All is a thousand days.
Jamie Owns Ok first off he didn’t die on TV, it was coincidence that Zapruder and Nix happened to be there to film his fateful ride down elm street. Kennedy not only funded NASA, but promoted the idea and promised the Americans that a man would land on the moon before the century ended, had not all that endorsement from Kennedy had happened, your German scientist would have probably been laying in his grave when we landed a man on the moon.
Let's all agree that NASA was just more of a political move than the "advancement of science". All of this took place during the cold War with the USSR.
Rick Laviolette
I think you have mentioned it all. The short time he was President prior to his assassination, he has done so much. They will always bring up documentaries, videos, etc about this President. No one wants to let it die. Everyone enjoys all the literature, all the photos. There is not a time when something comes up about President Kennedy to either read or watch a video that I don't stop for a moment to view it again. My family was absolutely heartbroken after the assassination. Everyone cried. Those four days in November, 1963 - the world stopped. This is something that I will never forget. He was loved very much.
Well said.
RIP Mr. President.
A man who advocated for peace died in a violent way, shot like a dog in a street of Dallas.
Great job! It's important to note that part of his appeal was that his life was cut short, so he is often remembered for what he would have become, not necessarily for what he did.
Mr. Beat He was remembered because of the hope he gave to the people, which he would have achieve if he wasn’t killed. And also because he prevented a war with Russia. If Nixon was the president, he would have attacked Cuba, but Kennedy prevented a WAR.
One of the best short videos i have seen on JFK...it is a fair piece..What makes it potent is the present situation we have.
@ken kennedy--Had President Kennedy not been assassinated in Dallas on that sad day in 1963, he would have been faced with events that LBJ dealt with later in that decade. Had he survived, in my opinion, he would likely have been considered a mediocre president. It's also notable that he hid some serious health problems during his campaign for U.S. president. Had he not done this, it would be quite likely he wouldn't have won the '60 presidential election.
Not what he would have become. What YOU SUPPOSE he would have become.
Nixon wouldn't have allowed the Russians into Cuba in the first place. In every way, Nixon was immeasurably better than Kennedy in 1960, however flawed he might have been years later.
JFK was the second youngest president, Teddy Roosevelt was the youngest.
Yes
JFK was the youngest by election. Teddy took office after William McKinley was assassinated.
Omar Omar I think the mustache makes teddy look older than the clean shaven kennedy
@@user-op8ge3kq6s Thats true though
By age JFK was the second youngest president. But the youngest president ever elected was JFK. Teddy Roosevelt became President in 1901 after the assassination of William McKinley. He wasn't elected until 1904.
He’d be 101 years old now
And Washington would be 287 years old now!! Both would still be pretty active I think!!
Stonemansteve II Not so sure about Washington - he only reluctantly ran for a second term and wanted to return to his plantation which had fallen into disrepair. And you can understand why - he had been the leading General of the revolution and was on the forefront of American politics for two decades afterward. But maybe - in this day and age.
would be a Trump supporter
Ethxn he would be dead now
He had so many health problems he’d be dead regardless
Apart from the good looks and charisma, the man genuinely cared about America and was pretty smart. Read Profiles in Courage, very underrated book.
SHAWN SHAARI - He opposed ending segregation in the schools and voted against Eisenhower’s Civil Rights Act in 1957. His party was never for equal rights for blacks. Take a look at his voting record at his online library for the truth. Its why MLK marched against JFK in Washington.
@@jag5798 So what blacks did better during segregation I'd have supported George Wallace if I lived in the 60s also Eisenhower later regretted signing the civil rights act of 1957. I suggest you look up American Renaissance and watch the video what the founders views on race
Ted Sorensen wrote profiles in courage
That book was ghost written.
Leo Peridot trump 2020. So you can smd.
Lol "jfk was weak" he is literally the only president with a purple heart and was a war hero
I know right
Literally ignoring George H.W. Bush, Eisenhower, Grant, Washington, Teddy Roosevelt, and throw in Lincoln for good measure and I am probably still missing some
@@harmanjotsingh4230 im not ignoring them but jfk was the only president to get a purple heart look it up
Trump could've to if it wasn't for his feet.
The last great Democrat.
let me tell ya the truth, Everyone wants to be me cause I was the only one w/ balls to go up against the true leaders.
I agree whole heartily - EVERYONE
@Bryan Ouellet I used to love that show, clone high. The good old days in high school. man I miss that show bro
Old and irrelevant but still alive. #burn
@kimjungun come handle your boy
Get in there JFK MY BRO
The pressure on him to attack Cuba during the Missile Crisis was all but irresistible, and yet he resisted it. He very likely saved the entire planet from destruction. I would say that puts him right up there among the great Presidents, regardless of his very human failings in other circumstances.
nocynic
*Laughs in bay of pigs*
That’s not impressive considering the missile crisis was a direct result of his own aggressions.
@@QuadLamb It's pretty impressive considering Trump would've engaged them and gotten us all killed.
Both Khrushchev and Kennedy resisted pressures from their inner circles to escalate the situation, and, that saved the planet from almost certain destruction. Kennedy was later assassinated, and Khrushchev was deposed a couple of years later by the politburo who felt that his handling of the Cuban missile crisis was an embarrassment to the USSR. He was one president who received a lenient treatment after he was deposed with a dacha and a pension granted to him. In a 1998 survey conducted in Russia, many Russians felt that Russia's best times in the 20th century were under him and Tsar Nicholas II. Whatever the failings of these two men, they managed to prevent world war III somehow.
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 “impressive considering”
You mean slightly better then the already low bar? It’s still not impressive.
Just because murderers exist. Doesn’t make you an impressive being for being rational lmfao.
His son saluting broke my heart
Yes...very..sad moments in US history.
Rip..JFK 🤲🏻
He called out the secret societies publicly
And that sealed his fate in Dallas.
Yes, he did, Jackie knew about them too, that's why she took herself, and her children, out of the States.
Adolfo can you prove they were Jewish ?
And thats why he died!!! Never call out the devils cabal and expect to live.
Dalia Lule no it’s the eskimos that are doing it. They have secret powers from the North Pole and the others are on the South Pole. When they combine their secret powers, it creates trouble in the world. Shalom
At the end of the day JFK was human, like the rest of us. Even with all his flaws he is loved by many, and rightfully so. Gone are the days when presidents worked for the people. It ended on that day in Dallas.
LBJ was much better.
@@bansheewhiskey He did not "Start Vietnam". That's a stupid narrative. There were several geo-political factors leading up to the Vietnam War including the Cuban Missle Crisis and the French Indochina War, both before the Johnson administration.
@Ed Holm I agree that Trump is awful, but one does have to acknowledge that Johnson passed record breaking amounts of legislation on several issues, including the notable Civil and Voting Rights Acts.
@@bansheewhiskey, Kennedy did NOT start Vietnam! Eisenhower committed the US there in 1955, sending advisers and monetary aid. At the end of his life, Kennedy created National Security Action Memorandum 263, calling for the withdrawal of 1,000 advisers and troops by the end of 1963. NSAM 263 also called for a phased withdrawal of all remaining US personnel in Vietnam to be completed by 1965. Kennedy was supposed to sign the final draft of NSAM 263 when he returned from Dallas. Instead, LBJ became President upon Kennedy’s assassination, and escalated the war in Vietnam.
@@bansheewhiskey I looked before I responded initially.
I'm a conservative Constitutionalist, but I would still take the imperfect JFK over any of these presidents we've had over the last few decades.

This video does not answer the title.
Pakistan Ka Podcast pakistan ka
Sort of does
The actual reason is at 1:26
it does. it dosnt say the answer ofc but it makes the answer pretty obvious for u to think.
He rich, handsome, charismatic and a leader
Because he represents a romanticised era of American optimism that endures through the ages.
he was so loved then and there are just so many people from that era that still sing his praises
Jfk was the last president that actually cared about citizens and Not HIS people. They had to assassinate JFK, how much love he got back then from whites , blacks, Cubans we will never have a president like that again. Was def ahead of his time we could use a president like him in today’s era .
Jackie Kennedy's accent was actually pretty common on the East coast until fairly recently. Wasn't so much a mixture of British/American English so much as it was a localized accent (I'm from Maine people still kind of talk that way)
Yeah. Due to mass media and easy mobility, regional accents are getting diluted and weaker across the country.
" clam chada ! "
How cool
Many public figures especially women had such an accent.. Just look at the old movies... It's like you have a Posh british accent back in the day this was a posh american accent.. I think it was called transatlantic accent... Most movies in those times were done with such an accent
I'm from the North Country in New Hampshire, and everyone still has a big accent.
I remember the look on Dan Quayle's face when Lloyd Bentsen said that "you're no Jack Kennedy" line.
But it didn't do Dukakis or Bentsen any good in the General Election.
Maria Kelly - I wouldn’t want to be JFK - he opposed civil rights - he spoke only about them to pander for the black vote which gave him the win over Nixon by 118,127 votes. MLK marched against JFK on Washington. I was flabbergasted when I found all this out online at the Kennedy Library voting record link.
And the racist Republicans have been s*** ever since the Civil War!
@@jag5798, are you a trump supporter, with your fake news ... John F. Kennedy defined the civil rights crisis as moral, as well as constitutional and legal. He announced that major civil rights legislation would be submitted to the Congress to guarantee equal access to public facilities, to end segregation in education, and to provide federal protection of the right to vote ... th-cam.com/video/QMsa5bZ89x4/w-d-xo.html
Bush and Quayle won.
Why is he popular? Well he literally saved the world from Nuclear War.
You know kennedy literally put nuclear missiles in turkey and italy causing the ussr to retaliate by putting nuclear missiles in cuba right?
@@harrymo8471 and you do know Nikita Krushev said he was ready to unleash strikes into New York. Thats how close we came to nuclear war.
@@anthonycampos8057 that doesn't change the fact that kennedy created the situation that would eventually lead to the Cuban missile crisis and by the end of that crisis he pretty much had to back down by removing those nukes that had caused so much tension. So really Khrushchev and the ussr came out on top of situation while the US had achieved little but the prevention of nuclear weaponry falling into the hands of cuba which they felt they needed after the bay of pigs invasion which kennedy very much approved of
@@anthonycampos8057 Kennedy pretty much started the threat of nuclear war and left it all to handle for future presidents
@@Kelvinack no not really
If JFK RFK and MLK lived the country would be in a better place.
They DID live, and -- as far as the first two are concerned -- the world is a worse place because of them.
@@65if2007 you're a moron
Minus MLK
Ditto: you are a moron.
Agree
Sort of makes one error. They did not have "two adorable children" by the time he ran for president. They had one adorable daughter when he ran. John Jr. was born shortly after election day 1960.
I’ll add another one- they had a third child but died days after being born i believe.
@@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020 yes, his name was Patrick. He died a few months before his father was killed. Jackie was very depressed over the loss and didn't want to go to Texas.
I've watched this video three times over, and it still doesn't have a million views. Shame.
Well I have some good news! :)
Oi it has over a million right now!
I will remember that day for my forever. I believe the USA all cried, it was a horrible day and needs remembering.

@@judebigelow2689 I cried when Nixon resigned.

@@Justin.Martyr lmao
Damn your old
John F. Kennedy died on November 22, 1963 -- and he was born that day too.
he was born on May 29
Brian meant that he was born as a legendary martyr that fateful day.
Agreed. If it wasn't for that bullet he would just be another former president.
It is not knowable exactly how history would judge JFK had there been no assassination. He certainly would have beaten Barry Goldwater for a second term, but with civil rights still stalled past 1964, those riots that ensued might have been an outright civil war. The Vietnam War would have gone largely the same way; the ill-conceived Truman Doctrine mandated us into to that mess regardless of who was president. Second terms rarely are successful and with far fewer civil rights and social policy accomplishments than LBJ rapidly amassed, I shudder to think about how much more turbulent the late '60s would have been.
Vietnam would not have gone the same way. Eisenhower warned of the military industrial complex.Why do you think JFK was murdered? And he was printing Kennedy notes to eliminate the power of the Federal reserve. No President has done that since, or dared too. And I would say his test ban treaty doesn't get the attention it deserves. The Civil Rights Act was his Bill.
I'm from Boston and my dad was born in Brookline, as was JFK! The thing my dad said about Kennedy, was that he made us feel like we could accomplish anything! He loved America and was happy to tell the world

JFK was a strong and vigorous person though, ever heard about his time in ww2 and PT-109? He saved and lead his men from a sinking ship. He was a great swimmer and helped those swim who could not. All while being scratched up by coral and having severe back pains.
Not to mention ty daily suffering that came with his failing health. When he was originally running for congress, he walked door to door around Massachusetts. He’d go go second story homes having to walk up flights of stairs and his back was in so much pain he had to limp. He never let those health problems get in the way.
JFK...➡hero👌🏻🥇💖
He also had Addison’s Disease.
I feel that President John F Kennedy genuinely cared for The People and took His Job Seriously and His Memory lives on for this reason. God bless him ❤️
You are correct. The fact that Kennedy donated his salary from his 13 years serving in the House and the Senate to different charities is truly admirable. He also donated his Presidential salary to charities like the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America, The United Negro College Fund, and The Cuban Families Committee. This shows that he was in the job because he genuinely cared.
Why did you say he was a "mytholigised" hero? He won a purple star for saving the lives of his WWII PT crew and leg to his bad back. Yet no mention? Wtf? Lol
He was also awarded the Navy and Marine Corp medal.
@Barrett Haynes Bull Sh*t, there was no radar on the PT boat and a ton of fog. And was on high alert, I am related to Barney Ross who was on that PT boat. Heard the full story from him many times, you idiot.
How does history get left in the hands of fake news?
iF YOU ASKED THE MEN THEY WOULD HAVE SAID HE SAVED THEIR LIVES...NOT THAT IT MATTERS TO A GUY LIKE YOU.
The Japanese destroyer incident could have been prevented if he steered the PT boat out of its path. Be it pitch black out, he should have heard the ship.
JFK second term was going to be his legacy.
- Ending the Cold War by ‘65
- Establishing a joint space program with the Soviet Union
- Establishing a better relationship with the Soviet Union
- pulling us out of Vietnam completely
- Establishing a better relationship with Cuba

Perhaps in the alternative reality when he’s alive, sadly, we didn’t see this.
Are you being ironic? That's actually the opposite of what happened.

@@glve3666 oh sorry...
JFK still rings true to me. My mom (RIP), despite not speaking a word of English, understood exactly who he was and what he stood for. Through her spanish radio stations in Central California, she gleaned everything about what was going on in the world and she held a deep respect for him bc it made her feel secure in knowing there was someone in our capital that was all about guiding our country through the complicated entanglements of the time! Unfortunate that we are left feeling exactly the opposite with what we've got in the Oval Office and the Senate today!
he was so popular because he was well spoken, educated and a brilliant president, the greatest of all time
Back when getting born to a rich family was your ticket to success....oh wait, that still happens, a lot!
Vinay Seth That's how life is
+Meme Yep. But you still need to live with optimism and work hard and persevere in the hopes that it will all be worth it in the end. After all, for every JFK, there's also been a Teddy Roosevelt or Abraham Lincoln. So hard work and sincerity do pay off in the end- that's the belief with which I lead my life.
If you don’t like it then why don’t you do something about it. Like building generational wealth etc...

@@BabySonicGT, I lived through the Kennedy years, too. He inspired us, and people had an optimism about the future. Like Josie, I am now a senior citizen at 69 years old.

If that is the case, let me tell you that once you are my age, you will realize just how ignorant you are right now.
he was my hero
You should never look at the government/president/politicians like they’re god. That’s why people can’t tolerate each other.
@@danib712, Who is looking at him like he was God?? He was a flawed man, like all of us are as human beings. But, he inspired us, tried to bring our people together as one nation, gave us confidence in ourselves, and hope for the future. I joined the Peace Corps because of him and it was the best experience of my life. Kennedy also had the highest average approval rating of any President since FDR, at 70.1. I feel very fortunate having lived through his Presidency. Our country has certainly not been the same since.
Great leaders motivate. JFK led and we miss him.
Great leaders also unite the people, not turn them against eachother. They work hard to ensure all threats to our rights are dealt with sufficiently. Couldn’t say our current president is a great leader...
Yes..JFK=legendary hero.

The thinks I love the most in John F. Kennedy are his idealism, the love for freedom and his optimism and confidence. John F. Kennedy embodies the best of American character ... We need a new US President like him... He was also an awesome man with a lot of style and elegance :-))
luis manuel - you do know that he was opposed to Civil Rights? He voted against the Civil Rights Act in 1957 and never passed anything for civil rights. His party was for segregation. Check out his voting record online at his library. You’ll be shocked. MLK even marched against JFK because he pandered the black vote to win against Nixon by 118,127 votes.
Because he was a bridge between the Democratic and Republican Party, he was the best president in U.S. history and should’ve made two terms
Best president in U.S. history? That's debatable.
Josh Flores lincoln exists
Kijani Perry you know he had slaves in his household, if this is where your going with this argument
Josh Flores who cares he freed the slaves thats more important to me as a balck man
Kijani Perry and JFK was key in the Civil Rights movement until his death.
JFK is a once in a lifetime president.
if it wasnt for jfk, there would have never been a civil rights bill. he also wanted to withdraw from Vietnam and they killed him to kerp the war going.
3dartistguy No, it was MLK and LBJ who did the actual works while JFK wanted a more moderate approch to civil rights so he wouldn't lose any votes from the south.
artist dude....the civil rights 1964 Bill was a REPUBLICAN bill...lbj shmoozed Senate minority leader Everett dirkson lbj and dirkson were always on the front page...dirkson was a REPUBLICAN from Illinois ( land of lincoln) the Republican congressman that authored the bill was from Springfield Illinois ( land of Lincoln)... lbj needed Republican support to get the bill passed...a brilliant bit of politikken to say the least...lbj knew his way around the block...
Kennedy was the first guy to send troops to Viet nam...this was after gen.douglas MacArthur implored him to never get American boys involved in an Asian war
@@fayguled900 NO!! LBJ DID NOT do the actual work. Kennedy and his staff wrote the actual 'Civil Rights Bill'. Johnson just used 'muscle' to get it passed. He had a well-known racist history, when it's not being 'white washed' by 'revisionist historians'.
@@billgray2352 Seriously, LOL?!!!???!!! KENNEDY's PEOPLE WROTE THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL!!!! Neither LBJ nor Dirksen would have DARED NOT PASSING the CIVIL RIGHTS BILL soon after the assassination. And, certainly NEITHER had the BRAINS to create a bill like that. I guess they and 'brute force' 'finished the job' though!
He didn't roll with the negative verbage. Casual clean and nice.
Unlike another that may come to

Let's be honest JFK was popular for his charm and AMAZING good looks. 🤤🤤
He was killed before he could fail.
the last real USA president.
Reagan?
Reagan
Obama
@@MarcusOwnsYou no
G Spyder
A man who was suffering dementia over half the time he was in office? No I don't think so.
he is remembered for getting the US dollar back under the control of US congress away from the privately owned Federal reserve
thus breaking the chokehold private Bankers had on US policymaking
and this was reversed after his death
RIP Hero
I love JFK. I remember in the 60's having a picture of JFK in my aunt's house.
Lawana Walker
Me too
I live in Ireland, when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's every house and I mean every house had a picture of the Pope and JFK in the same frame hanging on the living room wall, we have great respect here for him here in Ireland.
It's easy to understand why JFK was touted a "great president." It was largely because of the tragic fate he met. As for his "charisma" that was just a code name for young and handsome.
However, as a black man, I will always respect him for delivering his famous civil rights speech in '63. He candidly lashed out at the hypocrisy of American society for its shameful history of subjugating blacks, despite the fact that America claimed to be "the land of the free." By being so outspoken about the mistreatment of blacks, and alienating many Southerns in the process, he was risking re-election, but nevertheless he courageously spoke his conscience.
Because he did not play ball with the powers that be...and I salute him for that. Brave and gutsy🇺🇲🇺🇲
When JFK was assassinated, I was nine years old and in the fourth grade. I remember the lying in state, the state funeral, and the like. I also remember the huge outpouring of grief from around the world.
JFK was okay. He treated other nations with respect, he handled the Cuban missile crisis skillfully, and he signed the nuclear test ban treaty. A forward-looking fellow.
I think he would’ve did a lot more heroic shit if they hadn’t of killed him. I honestly believe JFK woulda been a 2 term president and help support MLK to end segregation in his 2nd term. Sounds crazy but that guy cared for all people not just his people and that was a uncommon trait for a president to have back in 1963.
Shakespeare wrote that "some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." If one acquires this description, it is usually in ONE of those ways -- and hey, history records each of them. But JFK is in his own class; he has all THREE.
As a boy I thought so, when I started to study history and other intellectual interests I thought so. My attraction to great speeches in wording and delivery owes the standard to him. As an older person, being able to see clips of the magic that was considered normal, I sigh for what has been lost. I remain disillusioned since the government he worked for and admired, did so little to pursue and convict the killers and the planners and enablers of his murder. History now will provide whatever truth is needed. I applaud your testament to his impact.
My favorite president of all time.
Rest easy Mr.President.
Same he’s my favorite
His name is John. I never did understand why they called him Jack.
Some johns go by jack and I have no idea why
'Dick' is an abbreviated version of 'Richard.'
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@FakeMoonRocks One of my uncles was named Clarence Edward . Everyone called him Jack, too.
They never did tell me why. I asked all of them.
Ikr? Apparently calling Johns Jack is a thing.
Lmao ya Jack is another way to say john just like dick is another way to say richard. Its just something old people did ig xD
When we see video of JFK we think HE should have lived for 200 years. A great leader the world had produce. AN Unparallel personality. WE SALUTE JFK.
Lol nope. Not even a shadow in comparison with the likes of Lincoln. As stated in the video, it was circumstances that pushed him further in life more than anything else.
I salute him with one finger.
I ❤️ JFK 😍😍😍🙋🏻
@TheMusicLover1959 Thank you. The man who had his intern service Dave Powers with her mouth open deserves no less.
Charisma, character, Inspiring , Knowledge.
Still Do not ask what your country can do for you ... ask what you can do for your country.
@christopher mills....yes I agree.
“Nothing bad ever happens to the Kennedys!”
**gets shot**
Error: JFK was not the youngest president at 43. Teddy Roosevelt was the youngest at 42.
Roosevelt was a better president than Kennedy
@@robertisham5279 lol
@@edoardo5628 he obviously was, that's why he is on Rushmore
He is the youngest president ever elected, Roosevelt was not elected as he became president at the age of 42 by McKinley’s assassination.
@@zigzag3720 Rushmore was made in 1927 though lol
I was in my classroom in Las Anod, Somalia, when suddenly my American peace corps volunteer teacher came rushing into the class the morning after and told us that JFK was assassinated yesterday in Dallas, Texas. The news shocked us all in an unprecedented fashion. Even today, this tragedy is so imprinted in my mind and will never go away, because of two things, in my opinion: he was a great world leader who supported the developing countries of those days in their tentative steps towards democracy. And secondly, he was the one who sent us the unforgettable American peace corps volunteers to teach us in school. May God bless his soul.
I like JFK anyway!
John F Kennedy was a great President 😍😍
Camelot is only a show.
This video makes me realize there's actually a lot of parallels between JFK and Princess Diana.
Why, yes of course! Somehow I never noticed it till today.
Right? He is the male version of Diana in terms of being loved.
Oh really Fr? Can you explain?
JFK had charisma. You either have it or you do not.
Or u can learn it right?
President =kind, strong, knows what they are doing, is the for the country, and is great
And John Kennedy had that and more he was the king of presidents and will always will be the king and his wife will always will be the queen 👸🏻 🤴🏻
This minimizes what he did in the Cuban missile crisis when it's probably the single most important thing any President has done. The joint chiefs of staff, all the military advisors were pressuring him to invade Cuba. But, he had listened to them during the Bay of Pigs and felt that they'd lied to him about the Cuban ex-pat army having a chance of succeeding on their own, when they planned that JFK would authorize US troop involvement once it got going. JFK used his own initiative to seek out alternative options and prevented nuclear war. If JFK did nothing else, his handling of that crisis makes him one of the best Presidents on its own.
Jack wasn't his real name. His real name was John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
No shit, dude. -_-
@zipZIP You are correct, that's why Jack Nicholson is called that.
Everyone knows that. Jack is a nickname for John...
Wow I neeever knew that....
Jack is his childhood name
When I see videos on the space race, space shuttle and his courage giving speeches. I Like him. Salute to him. May his soul rest in peace. His acceptance is high and I feel like... he was so cool.
From Pakistan.
I like that people in other countries like your's can still see videos abt. him and all the things he did and inspired. And can see that not everybody in this country is a 'Xenophobic Idiot" who just wants to 'bomb' other people's countries. Thank You for that.
One thing for certain JFK and Lincoln would actually get along pretty well, they actually have a lot of things in common.
Because he was THE MOST HONEST U.S. President EVER!
Lincoln’s nickname is literally honest Abe😂 JFK can be number 2
@Isaac Tudurí Llabrés Is your country Canada? Sorry if I'm wrong, I don't really know what's going on outside America right now, I'm too busy.
@Isaac Tudurí Llabrés Really? Sorry, it was just something about your name that made me think... What country were you talking about, just wondered, I mean, if you don't mind saying, just wondered about the leader you're talking about...
@Isaac Tudurí Llabrés Oh. I get what you mean. I get what you mean. There are a lot of bad leaders in the world right now.
Yeah.JFK➡hero⭐
I was originally one of the doubting Thomases. To be sure, JFK had his faults (don't we all). But I first knew we were in the presence of greatness when, after the Bay of Bigs fiasco, a reporter asked Kennedy who was to blame. "I'm President," he said, then added "I'm responsible." In fact, it wasn't entirely his fault, but he was big enough to accept responsibility. A sickly young man, he nevertheless insisted in serving during World,War II, never invoking special privilege. As President, he refused to be controlled, stood up for civil rights and during the Cuba Missle crisis, would not allow military leaders to
Influence him. The Vietnam War was a mess, but not just for him and he tried his best. For me, he deserves a rightful place in history as a great President.
About his physical strength. His war hero escapades were completely left out of this. What Kennedy did in world war II that made him a hero took amazing strength and endurance to save his crew .This show or video leaves out how he got into world war II and he didn't have to do that. He lied his way in to fight . That alone takes courage and is part of his makeup. I will argue that any man who fails the physical for the Navy due to his ailing back yet is willing to do anything he could to join the fight is my kind of guy. That's strength of will did not quit. I couldn't do that and I don't know anybody that could ,certainly no President we ever had. He saved those men because of his will and heroic actions and leadership at a very very young age. He was special and let's give him the real credit he deserves. Thank you Mr John f Kennedy!
Because he fought the zionists and the federal reserve
He was a damn good president in the time he was in office
Seeing his son salute him as he passed by is the saddest damn thing ever.
He's popular because he was the greatest president ever duh
@Samuel Nowe Yeah Lincoln was the greatest, but JFK was one of the greatest
You could also note that under Kennedy the economy was great
He was so popular because the press was told to treat him like some kind of saint. I was a teenager in 60's and we never heard anything about all his womanizing and most of his shady political doings.
He was very lucky that his time was long before metoo.
He was with the people and the people loved him, that's the reason it was killed by secret services , his brother was killed for the same reason ...
U r right....they were friendly..therefore killed by CIA and govt.
Jeez, sour people to this day! They are called small people, who cannot but despise a great man
so basically, because he wasn't an actively bad president, and he was charismatic and hot, he's considered a great president. he was a good president, but his hotness boosted him up to being a great president in the eyes of the people. pretty privilege.
We are all flawed, as he; but JFK was the leader we wanted, remember, and long for.
Because he got assassinated. He wasn't popular at the time.
And because baby-boomers identify with him, even though he was actually of the generation they resent.
Why do you think he wasn't popular at the time? The reaction of the nation to his death would indicate he was quite popular.
Historian Tim Rosenfield pointed out that many in the Civil Rights movement in the early 60's did not understand the politics of civil rights. Kennedy wanted to make civil rights happen early in his presidency, but to make anything happen, a president had to be able to work with Southern Democrats. That was easier said than done.
"Did someone say money?" Lmao
background tracks name please
I will put it in 5 whole words, He was a great President.
I never knew how truly beautiful Jackie Kennedy was!!! Wow!!!
“Need some beans for the chowder”
- John F Kennedy
Lol what
All human beings are flawed. He did his best, and tried to do right. He bought out the best in people. That's why he is loved.
Jfk is a stunning person and always will be even after 54 years I'm English I adore his memory even tho I was born in 73 I'm always researching it have been for 4 years. ... why has no 1 been charged 4 his murder the evidence is there so why do we keep talking about it instead of doing sumthing about it rip Mr Kennedy u will never ever b 4gotton 💔💔
Harvey Oswald was charged and arrested the same day of the assassination, but while the police were leading him to the station some bar owner named Rubio (or something, don't hold my word for that), came out of the crowd and shot Oswald multiple times, killing him.
The Marshal- He came out of the crowd and shot him ONCE, not multiple times. Can't you even get that right? What else have you dreamt up on your own?
The Marshal thank you for your reply I no there was and still is a BIG CONSPIRACY behind Mr Kennedy murder. .. CIA his own team set him up and that's the sad bit HE TRUSTED THEM 😢😢
So basically JFK embodies the quote from the Dark Knight “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
And he was a villain, have no doubt.
65if2007 no
Exactly.
