Although I don't condone his sexual escapades, I still hold JFK dear to my heart. It's true that his assassination endeared him even more, but let's remember that he never even completed a full term in office and it's hard to tell with his short term, exactly how his Presidency would have played out. We just have a short time of his Presidency to evaluate. ohwell

I was about 12/13 when he was running for President, and although I am not as politically informed as many of you, he is the one that got me into politics at a young age. I never listened to political debates before, but when he and Nixon had their famous debates, I could easily see, even then who had the "edge". wink

And yes, remember The Bay Of Pigs everyone? I remember the nation on needles and pins over the Cuban Missle Crises, and then the total "shock" of the assassination that had the country grieving together.

Although I understand that it should be expected that the President is our "leader" and SHOULD have a sense of morals, but in reality, I don't think that's always possible. If a President makes me feel safe and secure and is knowledgeable in the matters that concern our nation, I'll not condone, but will overlook his sexual appetite.
