Five ways JFK was remarkably ahead of his time

John F. Kennedy may have been the youngest president elected to office, but he displayed wisdom beyond his years and forward-thinking ahead of his time. Today, on what would have been his 101st birthday, we examine the ways.

Like many Irish Americans, I was raised with an abiding sense of JFK as “our president.” My grandparents owned a portrait of him, and all my relatives who were old enough can recall exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard the tragic news of his assassination.

Developing a fuller sense of who he was as a president and a person has come more gradually, and the most detailed portrait yet took shape during a recent visit to theJFK Presidential Library and Museum in his native Boston.

Who he was? Yeah...an arrogant, philandering, drug addict. Thats who he was. We were fortunate we didnt him or any other idiot Kennedy in the Whitehouse a moment longer. As bad as LBJ was, he was an improvement .

Just another privileged family who have gotten away with everything. He was the original Bill CLINTON. Using the WH for his own whore house.

6:41 yes he was all that, probably worse. Who cares, that’s not what got him killed. Communism killed John Kennedy. He was one of the last willing to fight it.

His drug use was because of a very bad boat accident and he suffered severe back pain the rest of his life. Not excusing, BUT his docs prescribed just like they do today. He didn't use these drugs for 'recreation'...like Clinton, Obama and Many more.

Kennedy tried to fight Communism, the FED and Global Governance. Dittos 6:41...

The other comments are from the younger generations for sure.

You are uneducated.
He was killed because he was an idiot.
He thought POTUS had the power to dissolve the CIA and the US government could print its own money (like Idiot Abe Lincoln).

CIA works for the international bankers who OWN this government, lock stock and barrel.
Only they can print the money.
Creature from Jekyl Island.
