John F. Kennedy

       John Fitzgerald Kennedy has been called a fraud, a womanizer, a political product of his father Joe's influence only without merit on his own and a statesman interested solely in the prestige and political clout of his famous Irish Catholic family.   Some of those characterizations are undoubtedly true.  What I remember and care most fervently about JFK was his leadership ability.  He pulled a country together that was not altogether on his side.  He made us proud to be Americans and to have him in the highest office.  His family showed us what grace under fire was like after he was assassinated.  He was truly a president who cared about the welfare of every citizen of the United States and the world.  His ambition was not to further his political agenda but to make the world a better place.  I believe he did.
