Default President John F. Kennedy

46 years tomorrow. Let's hope we never lose another President of the United States to murder.

46 years ago today, actually, his death was announced around 1 PM Central time, stopping the world. I was 12, remember it like it was yesterday. Walter Cronkite's news broadcast was truly remarkable that evening.

Wow, you're right. Today. Thanks for the correction.

I was in grade school, I remember everything, too. Got to visit the plaza couple years ago. Numbing to stand there on the sidewalk next to where it happened. It's small. Ordinary.

Staring down the Russkies in Cuba and sending them packing without a shot fired enough for me.....

He was going to be one of the few Presindents who actually cared about the people in this great country of our's. Unlike most of the other Presindents who have thier own agendas and could care less about this great country of our's. Could Kennedy made a difference when he was President? We will never know. Im thinking there was a good chance he would of.

Don't f.uck with the Federal Reserve Bank.

He was overrated like Notre Dame in preseason football polls. Plus they're both Catholic.

What do you think he would have done? What did he do that makes you think he cared so much about the country and set him apart?

Happy Birthday! I was 3 months old, but thanks to the History Channel and Discovery I feel like I was there. Maybe even on the grassy knoll.
