I lived through those days and my impression has always been that JFK's greatest accomplishments were intangibles like inspiration and the appeal of his youth. But, in terms of actual accomplishments, his Administration was pretty light. It took the wily and unlikeable but politically effective LBJ to push through the agenda that JFK did not have the experience or political connections to drive through.

He did nothing really spectacular in international politics during his time, but brought us quite near to a 3rd world war (Kuba crisis) and he got a relevant responsibilty concerning the Berlin Wall. Germans were admiring America so his speech claiming <br />"Ich bin Berliner" was a perfect diplomatic joke.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11682921249844707561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053393564677800908.post-47226508425401596492015-02-11T15:21:06.611+01:002015-02-11T15:21:06.611+01:00Thanks for showing this.
