I want to start this thread about JFK and learn more about what he was and what he stood for. I want to know if the speech he gave here..was truthful...and honest.

Please try to stick to facts I don't really care or want speculation to why he was shot and who shot him crap.

I want to know more about him. Please give me your thoughts and ideas to what kind of president he would have been. And maybe what might be different today if he was not killed.

It's been tough for me, understanding the whole thing, especially since I wasn't alive when it all went down. Also, I haven't concerned myself too much with the details of him and his administration for the simple fact that I believe everything about him has been spun and distorted that there is no telling what was really going on in his mind.

I do know that about half the country didn't like him, while I personally find him to be very inspirational and far more astute then any president I have been alive for. Also, the similarities between he and Obama are alarming.
