Quote:I'm not a great Nixon fan, even allowing for his supposed strengths. But comparing Nixon's 5 years and 7 months to Kennedy's 2 years and 10 months is a bit unfair. Even then, it was Kennedy who set our sights on the moon in 10 years, not Nixon.
I'm as little a fan of the "If JFK/Bobby had lived all problems would have been solved" school of thought as I am of the idea of Obama as a secular saint. He also got us started in Vietnam, too, and a lot of the legislation passed by the later Johnson administration owes more to him than it does JFK.
But who cares, he's been dead for more than 50 years.
Quote:And the entire Camelot thing was extremely powerful too.
Powerful? I am judging you so much right now, I want you to know that.
