You liberals are CRAZY if you think that Kennedy is emulated by ANYONE in the modern Democrat party.  Kennedy was a TAX CUTTER and an American patriot - there is no modern day Democrat that would EVER even THINK about cutting a tax for anything let alone actually vote to cut a tax. To today's modern liberal - that would be giving up power to their stupid minions by giving them a say on how they spend their own money.\n\nNice try libs - but you guys will emulate America haters like Hanoi Jane and Cindy Sheehan before you will ever emulate a tax cutting patriot like JFK...at least until your party finishes imploding - then you guys will probably all kill yourselves...

John F. Kennedy (and Lyndon B. Johnson) was the best president of modern times.  He was the youngest ever elected to the presidency and the first of the Roman Catholic faith, John F. Kennedy won the election of November 1960 by a razor-thin margin, but after taking office he received the support of most Americans. They admired his winning personality, his lively family, his intelligence, and his tireless energy, and they respected his courage in time of decision.\n\nDuring his relatively brief term of office—less than three years—President Kennedy dealt with severe challenges in Cuba, Berlin, and elsewhere. A nuclear test ban treaty in 1963 brought about a relaxation in cold war tensions following a time of severe confrontation early in the administration. Domestically, much of the Kennedy program was unfulfilled, brought to fruition only in the Johnson administration. The U.S. space program, however, surged ahead during the Kennedy administration, scoring dramatic gains that benefited American prestige worldwide.\n\nHe was the last true president of the people. Not to mention, he was cool enough to have an affair with Marilyn Monroe...

Giancanna (sp?) was the Chicago mob boss in the 50s and 60s and knew Kennedy's father from prohibition days.  Kennedy's father told G that JFK had to win Illinios to win the election.  G made all his union leaders campaign for Kennedy.  When JFK won, G thought he had the president in his back pocket. JFK disagreed and he & his brother attacked the mob.  Eventually they both died.  Go to netflix.com and search for documentarys on Giancanna.  It's fascinating.

I think you might have a paper-worthy idea here. Not sure, like the first poster, of the amount of support you'll find to back your theory up, but I do find the comparison appealing, and I've never thought of that before!\n\nHope you can draw the similarities without too much painful, fruitless research! Good luck!

I just did a search for "Kennedy Administration and the Middle East" and came up with the web site listed below.  It looks very interesting.  Good Luck.

jfk did not get a lot done on this issue, though he was a proponent of civil rights (some say that led to his assasination) but there was little legislation passed during his era...johnson, his vp did most of that (as unpopular as he was) after jfk's assasination....though there were milestones during kennedy's tenure...go to the wikepedia site, and look up civil rights

Your solution sounds good. Here is a nice timeline for the life of Benjamin Franklin that may help you see how a history timeline should look. Also, if you have EXCEL this site shows you how to make a timeline in that program.\nhttp://www.vertex42.com/ExcelArticles/create-a-timeline.html

It's between Lincoln and FDR because they led the country through its greatest crises and never backed down. A great president is measured through how he leads in tough times because tough times don't last, tough people do. Being a knowledgeable, strong commander in chief, and knowing how to manage spending by the government are also included. There are many debates about who is the greatest and most times your just choosing the lesser of two evils. These two are the obvious choices when you look at history. I would love to put JFK in here but the fact is he was taken from the people before he could fulfill his dream. You could argue the failures of Lincoln and Roosevelt as well but no one goes through this lifetime w/o failing. For the great ones, failure is why they succeed.
