<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1981879, member: 66&quot;]Yes I&#039;m cynical I admit it.&nbsp; I&#039;m younger than you and my only memory of the man is a dim recollection of his funeral (which is surprising as I was only two at the time.&nbsp; It made the impression on me because it preempted all the TV stations.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Kennedy was not really a great memorable President.&nbsp; His great popularity came to a large extent from his youth.&nbsp; The major milestones of his Presidency were the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the commitment for the race to the moon, and being assassinated.&nbsp; That last one was what put him up on a pedestal.&nbsp; And without that I seriously doubt the moon landing would have come to pass either.&nbsp;&nbsp; If he hadn&#039;t been shot he would almost certainly have been reelected and probably would have ended his term as a popular but lackluster President.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
