Why Is John F. Kennedy so Popular?

John F. Kennedy is one of the most popular US presidents. Was he as good as people remember him being? What exactly is it that makes him so popular?

    @Joel Schembri There is no doubt that the Bay of Pigs incident was a blot on modern American history. But, Kennedy handled the Cuban Missile Crisis as well as anyone at the time could have: he removed the Russian presence (which affected their relationship with Cuba), promoted Russian political instability in the Cold War (Khrushchev was deposed), and saved not just Americans, but the world from a nuclear fallout. Kennedy made the Cuban Missile Crisis such a hassle and embarrassment for the Soviet Union (since the public didn't know about the missiles in Europe) that it insured that such a monumental display of war-aggression never happened again in the Cold War. You may disagree with his politics, or his image, or the way he is remembered, but it is impossible to deny that this would be the crowning moment in any person's political life.

    Unfortunately, as much as I admire JFK, if he had lived, he would have the reputation LBJ has today if he had lived through the end of what would've been his second term in 1969. Of course, if he lost re-election in 1964, things would've been different for sure. I definitely think JFK was a good president, and I don't think LBJ handled Vietnam properly, but I think LBJ is better than we realize. Of course, I'm biased as I am distantly related to him, but LBJ really wanted Americans who weren't well-off to be in a better situation. It's just insane to think that only three Democrats have served as president since him-Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama.

    I grew up during that period of history. John F Kennedy: 1. Supported NASA and went to extensive means to establish our lead in the exploration of space and control of low earth orbit space for strategic dominance globally. 2. Established the Peace Corps and asked for volunteers to aid in helping struggling nations in a widely accepted humanitarian relief program. 3. He spoke of peace and with him war would be the last option. 4. He and his brother Bobby took on organized crime in this country. 5. He stood fast against USSR placing nuclear missiles in Cuba. (Something later accomplished after his death.) 6. He was a decorated war hero. 7. Many of his political failures were due to opposition forces. His secret society speech might shine some light on that. It is nothing that hasn't happened to this day. 8. He was against direct involvement in Viet Nam but had a covert operation as a possibility. He was after all a Cold War president and many of the policies he continued were in play during Eisenhower. 9. He was inspirational to many and gave great speeches. With the full effort implementation of NASA, our nation led in all of the sciences with a 35 year technology lead. Medical, computer and rocket technology led the world as a result. He was an impetus for that innovation. 10. When we walked on the moon, the world was in awe. I remember an Australian newspaper stating in bold headline, "The Yanks did it!" Compare that to what we have today and in the years that followed.

They will always bring up documentaries, videos, etc about this President. No one wants to let it die. Everyone enjoys all the literature, all the photos. There is not a time when something comes up about President Kennedy to either read or watch a video that I don't stop for a moment to view it again. My family was absolutely heartbroken after the assassination. Everyone cried. Those four days in November, 1963 - the world stopped. This is something that I will never forget.

    Both Khrushchev and Kennedy resisted pressures from their inner circles to escalate the situation, and, that saved the planet from almost certain destruction. Kennedy was later assassinated, and Khrushchev was deposed a couple of years later by the politburo who felt that his handling of the Cuban missile crisis was an embarrassment to the USSR. He was one president who received a lenient treatment after he was deposed with a dacha and a pension granted to him. In a 1998 survey conducted in Russia, many Russians felt that Russia's best times in the 20th century were under him and Tsar Nicholas II. Whatever the failings of these two men, they managed to prevent world war III somehow.

Through her spanish radio stations in Central California, she gleaned everything about what was going on in the world and she held a deep respect for him bc it made her feel secure in knowing there was someone in our capital that was all about guiding our country through the complicated entanglements of the time!

    It is not knowable exactly how history would judge JFK had there been no assassination. He certainly would have beaten Barry Goldwater for a second term, but with civil rights still stalled past 1964, those riots that ensued might have been an outright civil war. The Vietnam War would have gone largely the same way; the ill-conceived Truman Doctrine mandated us into to that mess regardless of who was president. Second terms rarely are successful and with far fewer civil rights and social policy accomplishments than LBJ rapidly amassed, I shudder to think about how much more turbulent the late '60s would have been.

After all, for every JFK, there's also been a Teddy Roosevelt or Abraham Lincoln. So hard work and sincerity do pay off in the end- that's the belief with which I lead my life.

    About his physical strength. His war hero escapades were completely left out of this. What Kennedy did in world war II that made him a hero took amazing strength and endurance to save his crew .This show or video leaves out how he got into world war II and he didn't have to do that. He lied his way in to fight . That alone takes courage and is part of his makeup. I will argue that any man who fails the physical for the Navy due to his ailing back yet is willing to do anything he could to join the fight is my kind of guy. That's strength of will did not quit. I couldn't do that and I don't know anybody that could ,certainly no President we ever had. He saved those men because of his will and heroic actions and leadership at a very very young age. He was special and let's give him the real credit he deserves. Thank you Mr John f Kennedy!

    It's easy to understand why JFK was touted a "great president." It was largely because of the tragic fate he met. As for his "charisma" that was just a code name for young and handsome. However, as a black man, I will always respect him for delivering his famous civil rights speech in '63. He candidly lashed out at the hypocrisy of American society for its shameful history of subjugating blacks, despite the fact that America claimed to be "the land of the free." By being so outspoken about the mistreatment of blacks, and alienating many Southerns in the process, he was risking re-election, but nevertheless he courageously spoke his conscience.

    Shakespeare wrote that "some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." If one acquires this description, it is usually in ONE of those ways -- and hey, history records each of them. But JFK is in his own class; he has all THREE. As a boy I thought so, when I started to study history and other intellectual interests I thought so. My attraction to great speeches in wording and delivery owes the standard to him. As an older person, being able to see clips of the magic that was considered normal, I sigh for what has been lost. I remain disillusioned since the government he worked for and admired, did so little to pursue and convict the killers and the planners and enablers of his murder. History now will provide whatever truth is needed. I applaud your testament to his impact.

    I was in my classroom in Las Anod, Somalia, when suddenly my American peace corps volunteer teacher came rushing into the class the morning after and told us that JFK was assassinated yesterday in Dallas, Texas. The news shocked us all in an unprecedented fashion. Even today, this tragedy is so imprinted in my mind and will never go away, because of two things, in my opinion: he was a great world leader who supported the developing countries of those days in their tentative steps towards democracy. And secondly, he was the one who sent us the unforgettable American peace corps volunteers to teach us in school. May God bless his soul.

    I was originally one of the doubting Thomases. To be sure, JFK had his faults (don't we all). But I first knew we were in the presence of greatness when, after the Bay of Bigs fiasco, a reporter asked Kennedy who was to blame. "I'm President," he said, then added "I'm responsible." In fact, it wasn't entirely his fault, but he was big enough to accept responsibility. A sickly young man, he nevertheless insisted in serving during World,War II, never invoking special privilege. As President, he refused to be controlled, stood up for civil rights and during the Cuba Missle crisis, would not allow military leaders to Influence him. The Vietnam War was a mess, but not just for him and he tried his best. For me, he deserves a rightful place in history as a great President.
