[QUOTE="World Colonial, post: 2456455, member: 78153"]My post wasn't rude. My post wasn't directed at you, you are not the thought police on this forum and I'm not going to write my posts to please you either. It isn't that I dislike him and my opinion has nothing to do with his personal life. I think he is over rated and the only reason he is held in such high esteem is precisely because he was assassinated. I don't think he was a bad president but like practically everyone else, his reputation is a function of the time and circumstances in which he lived. I've said similar things to one of my friends who thinks likewise about Ronald Reagan. If he were President now, it wouldn't bring back the economy of the 80's like he thinks. If JFK had survived, I believe he would have been re-elected to a second term and suffered the same unpopularity LBJ did from the Vietnam War. Back to the present, like I said, it's primarily those of your age who hold him in such high regard. The history challenged younger generation doesn't know much about him and may not have a clue.[/QUOTE]
