I've always liked JFK, but he is very overrated. He wasn't even a great President, like Lincoln or FDR. I just don't see why people love him so much.
He was young, handsome, a symbol of hope, and tragically died. If he had lived, he *may* have made that list, but Vietnam could have hurt him and his popularity ala LBJ. I very much like JFK, he is my second favorite Democratic President of last century.
(Tons of People do not know the TRUE JFK however, as in cheating on his wife, losing classified information, etc.)
