JFK is not admired by me as few world leaders are. I don't see what was thought special about him anywhere. Someone please try to explain it to me, why was he so popular and influential?
he was popular because he was young, handsome (UGH!), and had a picture perfect family...
back then was when the first television set got intro'd into the households of white bread america... and i think at the time, women were able to vote for the first time?
as for why he was influential, i refuse to touch that subject with a 50 ft pole...
