    Today I think so. But at the time he was much more famous. He was seen as bringing us into a new age, bringing us big change, moving us ahead from the Eisenhower years. Much like Trump, actually, he was seen as a new kind of politician bringing us into the next political era.

    He might have done a lot more if he'd had two terms. We wouldn't have gotten stuck in Vietnam, people wouldn't have lost faith in government, Barry Goldwater wouldn't have changed the direction of the GOP to the disastrous path they've followed ever since.

    No he brought in Civil Rights laws.

    Here's what he's famous for:

    Making the USSR turn back their attempts to put ICBM's in Cuba.

    Causing the Bay of Pigs defeat in Cuba by not executing the plan by the previous POTUS.

    Having frequent sexual liaisons with Marilyn Monroe.

    Initiating the first man in the Moon program.

    Initiating the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

    His assassination by LH Oswald.

    Being an articulate speaker, e.g., "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

    Being one of the Kennedy clan, coming from very rich background.

    He was most famous for being the 35th president of the United States. An airport in NYC and a performing arts center in Washington DC is named after him.

    No. He was more famous for trying his level best to get us into world war 3. Sorry to see him shot though. That was LBJ's doing.

    He was the dirt bag who created federal

    And state government employee unions

    That almost bankrupted every state with

    High cost pensions and benefits tax payers

    Can't afford in most states. He left a huge

    Debt causing disaster than needs repealed.

    If trump did that he would save each state

    Billions of dollars each year and cut the national

    Debt going forward by billions. Kennedy sucks.
