President Kennedy put a man on the moon.
Obama put a man in a womens restroom. (and thinks that is progress)
I think that type of progress is his legacy.

Kennedy was a hero, Obama is a zero [;)]
Strange notion of a hero. He started out by cutting out the air cover at the Bay of Pigs & then trying to blame the fiasco on Eisenhower's bad planning. Then he let the East Germans build the Berlin Wall. Next was the Cuban Missile crisis where he secretly gave the Russians a deal they couldn't refuse. Then the use of Federal troops to occupy Oxford, Miss & Montgomery, Ala. Finally the assassination of President Diem that got the Vietnam War up & going. Who knows what other foul-ups he could have gotten into if he had served just ONR full term.
He was a disaster looking for a place to happen & he always found it.

Man you need to lighten up before you stroke-out [:D], I'm pretty sure Okie743 intended for this thread to be light-hearted, not a damn history lesson. You should easily find employment with Hillarys "I'm with her" campaign [:)]. I was around when Kennedy was alive.....I lived thru what you wrote, experienced the effect of some of it too [;)]

No matter how much you choose to reassess Kennedy's political career he will always be a hero insofar as his Naval career is concerned.
quote:The medals were presented to Lt. Kennedy in June 1944 for his heroics and injuries sustained in the rescue of the crew of PT 109 during WWII on August 2, 1943 when the motor torpedo boat was struck by a Japanese destroyer.
Lt. Kennedy received:
The Navy Marine Corps Medal
The Purple Heart
Best.
makes me question all that we learned about our past
I too grew up with IKE, JFK, and all since beyond. I lived this history and have direct memories without any help from anyone.
The news media in those days was REAL news and not a paid political beauty contest.
Oh yea......this is a joke! Sorry

Kennedy's back pain was from BEFORE he went into the service. He hid it to get in. Of course he got a medal. His father was Joe Kennedy. It was Ted Kennedy that had a broken back from an aircraft accident. Don't overlook the fact that he was responsible for getting his boat sunk in the first place.
WWII hero killed because crooked daddy, him and Bobby crossed the Mob after they stole the election for JFK. B F mistake.
Real stand up crew right there huh?
PS real news? LOL they hid most of the kennedys f ups

Obama has Reggie Love.
I don't include the Carpetbagger, since she volunteered to join the Marines.

I can't imagine any planed invasion in 1964 after the promise we made to the USSR as part of the Cuban missile crisis. Perhaps it was just one of the contingency plans that are never really expected to be used.

Obama has created a Bay of Pigs. (but he is still no Kennedy)

John F Kerry received medals too...he's a worthless POS

I'm no Kennedy fan but he would make one heck of a Republican today.[:D]
You're probably right & that just shows how bad things have become.
A pox on those elitist scum.
Pretty sure Teddy killed Mary Jo Kopechne in Chappaquiddick while driving drunk. He hit the freakin' bridge, dropped the car in the water, then lied about it for another 40 years.
A pox on those elitist scum.
The story was a lot more sordid that than. You need to read the Reader's Digest story on the event. They published it just in time to derail his run against the peanut farmer.
winter spring 61'
I Rotated back from Germany Vll Corps Special Troops
Trained weapons and Judo to guys who ended up at "Bay of Pigs"
Kennedy left them naked no air cover they were promised.
Politicians have only gotten worse.
