What a Unique ,Intelligent President. The first question was answered brilliantly. Victory has a Hundred Fathers. Defeat is an Orphan! No Better words!
You have to realize the media is different too, you can’t compare Trump and Kennedy like a lot of people do on the post. Do you know the press coverage for Kennedy? They liked him they entertained with him they were civil, you swap him you swap times and see the difference. I don’t think they go after Kennedy the way they went after Trump .
@@mikealvord55 "....you can’t compare Trump and Kennedy like a lot of people do on the post." Well you can compare them...and more so you can contrast them. Kennedy had obvious intelligence, integrity, modesty exemplified be his self-deprecatory humour, and a vision of a planet tuned to the common needs of humanity. Trump is a nacissistic, corrupt, misogynist with a penchant for tantrums who seeks power only to preen his collosal ego and whips white nationalist fever to surf into his Neronic pipe-dreams.
He inspired me as a teen.....and the thrill never faded....he will always be my hero. A picture of him hangs on my home office and will remain there as long as i am alive!
Pff. What America needs is a president with about a 600-word vocabulary who literally never talks about anything but himself. Everything word out of a president’s mouth should be either whining or bragging.
To this day, I believe that John Kennedy's assassination was the most emotionally destructive event in our country's history. Something changed that day and our beloved America has never quite been the same since.
Something changed forever that day. We need to know the truth. We still do not fully understand what really happened that day and who has the real power
@@joebonanno3396 Yes, this is what happens when a coup takes place...we of course will never know the truth. Look at what happened in Las Vegas with that mass shooting...did we ever find out what happened there?

@SAINT JOAN OF ARC Don't confuse his excessive womanizing and having to take many drugs (due to his back injury, plus experimentation with LSD, cannabis, etc.) with his pubic policies which were first-rate in promoting peace and prosperity, without waste on un-needed military hardware to give outrageous profits to contractors and war hawks (LBJ, others) who owned stocks in those war-making companies.

@@malcolmredgrove1151 So true, Malcolm. When you study JFK in detail, and then look at him from far above, the overview is of a guy who became president not because he wanted to, but because his brother died after which his father looked at him and said, "You're it". The guy wanted to be a writer or a professor. And not to make money. So when you see him thrust to the presidency by the father--who transferred his lust for power onto his sons--you see a president who's path and character differed from most others. I think what he enjoyed most was when the writer part of him emerged during major speeches, especially the June, 1963 American University address.
"Not seen his like since". So true. *That's the problem.* Of course, back in Kennedy's time our OWN Supreme Court had not yet legalized dark money bribery from oligarchs, both foreign and domestic, with their 2010 Citizens United decision. It only took six years for that decision to produce tRump.

*Zachariah Wilburn* __Unlike in the rest of the free world ....(although Sanders admittedly seems somewhat inadequate), a West European type social democrat will never ever get a look in, in Uncle Sam's one party state , where since the coup of '63 ,it never makes much difference which of the two allowed political parties occupies the White House . Both allowed parties eventually take their marching orders from the military industrial complex and other powerful unelected organizations.......While through relentless propaganda the U.S. electorate was made to distrust social democrats ,who were supposed to be "communists in disguise"... While in U.S. election circuses, where "Our Fine Military" always gets centre stage acknowledgement, such bullshit isn't necessary in most European elections , where it would cause major controversy.... Since it's understood that such obvious military gloryfication is the privilege of military regimes. Those west European nations that are govorned by social democrats or coalitions which include them, have all the rampant consumerism ,free market and media like in Uncle Sam's paradise....only without the nasty cut throat capitalist deregulation side effects, like crumbling infrastructure , overcrowded prisons, monthly mass shootings, foodstamps for the growing number of poor , subsidising Wallstreet bankers when they screw things up. While "Our Fine Military" is allowed by the two allowed parties to grab their annual biggest percentage from the people's treasury without ever having to offer an independent audit , also usually the privilege of military regimes.... No surprise Kennedy got removed because he had his own ideas about such matters. Since then no administration dared to stand in the way of the Pentagon conglomerate, knowing the concequences such 'folly' would bring ...... All with "god's blessings" ofcourse....
@Jos van Bommel: The President and I were in the pool, splashing playfully, while Dave Powers was sitting on the edge, with his feet dangling in the water. Then JFK swam over and whispered in my ear: ‘Mr Powers looks a little tense - would you take care of it?’ I knew exactly what that meant: it was a dare to give Dave Powers oral sex. I don’t think the President thought I’d do it, but I’m ashamed to say that I did. It was a pathetic, sordid scene, and I can hardly bear to think about it. Dave was jolly and obedient as I stood in the shallow end of the pool and performed my duties. The President silently watched. Once Upon a Secret: My Affair with President John F. Kennedy and Its Aftermath by Mimi Alford
Although anyone with half a brain in America is familiar with who JFK was, when you really spend time (thanks to youtube) listening to JFK at these press conferences and to his speeches and interviews------you really understand that we may never see anyone of his intelligence, charisma, and political abilities again.
No question. This man was 100 years ahead of our time. He saw it. He saw the future through studying the past and living through war and wealth but seeing poverty and evil. He was ultra intelligent and had the Irish wit so no one could match him in any debate or any talk of what the US must do in the next 50 years. Amazing skill, talent and empathy. A true leader in every sense of the word.
We will. Maybe not during our lifetime, but I believe one day our nation will be blessed by the presence of a highly intelligent leader, listener and speaker such as President Kennedy!
I am a Canadian military veteran and I, along with millions of Canadians would agree with you: JFK had a great sense of humour. I am working on a time capsule to be buried in my home town: The main focus will be on American President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, I think that you and future generations will appreciate this project, JFK was more for the people than all the other ones were. Thank you. From Patrick McCarthy in Canada.
@@spudjohnsonn8122 That is correct: John F. Kennedy and his brother, Robert F. Kennedy are still very popular in Canada today: All schools in the Canadian province were closed from the Friday until the Tuesday of that tragic weekend in Dallas: November 22nd to November 25th 1963: television came of age: Remember??
I wasn't even born when JFK was president, I even did a report on him in Elementary school..my God what an intellectual person he was way ahead of his time and gone too soon.
JFK was years ahead of his time and could have been President any time, he was the first TV president ,One can only imagine how the world would have been had he not been assassinated . I would love to see another President like him. R.I.P Mr President
So would I, but they killed RFK & JFK Jr. to keep the lies & who was involved from the public. I found it odd not one news organization investigated the assassination. Who really runs this crappy country? They keep murdering our most promising leaders.
@@flyingchimp12 I believe it’s outstanding he pulled off the win. He faced a far more experienced opponent and still won. His views would be glorified today
Yes he could've yes the election was tight but the Nixon type president is long pass its prime j f.k was the future even without watergate Nixon was out of touch and I still to this day like Nixon I remember the 1972 election and couldn't vote but was routing for him.
Thank you for trying President Kennedy sorry that men's hearts were to evil too understand you you truly were the best President not just because of intelligence but because you were one who loved people and loved his country and hoped for all mankind R.I.P JFK
And somehow managed to forget his wife and played low comedy with that simple child Marilyn Monroe. Had she not become involved with the Kennedy tribe who knows - she might still be alive.
Thanks for the video! What a man! It is difficult to compare his eloquence to the pitiful ignorance and hatred displayed today. Best of luck to all of us.
I love how “tough” people were back then. Not thin-skinmed. They jab back and forth then laugh it off and move on. Nobody gets outraged or offended, but also isn’t afraid to be a bit assholish!
John, very good point. Comedians poked fun at ethnic stereotypes, and few took it so seriously to demand retribution or that the comic stop. Today, so thin-skinned a little joke on them makes them go insane with hate and rage! Where, besides if they got it from their typical left-wing, Marxist, university professors, did that response and hate come from?
Yes, and there is a reason for that: JFK was effectively the last ligitment President of the United States. His death was the result of a cout d-etate . Will Morgan
And the cia have done everything, including removing him, to see to it that no leader would carry out what he intended or be able to follow in his footsteps.
After watching this president and think of what we have now I could just sit down and cry and I am a 70 year old then I think of this government killing this man I feel when this man was killed it was the beginning of the end of this country.
President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was a breath of fresh air in American politics. His press conferences filmed at the State Department Auditorium were very innovative and informative.
It makes me sad to watch this man skillfully, intelligently and even humorously answer questions, compared to what we've been subjected to over the last four years.
Sanity versus, and we all know it, plain and simple, madness. It happens sometimes in history- George III, 1790-1820 period. Hitler.Stalin, 1950-53 period. We are not exempt from History simply because we are Americans.
If the Press treated Trump even remotely fairly, you might have a different view. And in the Biden years, you have a fumbling cadaver at the podium. It’s embarrassing for this nation.
“Of the multitude who throughout history have spoken for human dignity in times of great suffering and loss,” Mr. Kennedy declared, “no voice is more compelling than that of “Anne Frank.” He said that “her humor, her humanity and her hope illuminate the hearts of men heavily clouded by the apparent willingness of those who seek power and domain over the soul of man to again deprive people of the right to live in peace, tolerance and freedom.”
It's Wonderful to see such Wit, Intellect and Candour but it's also so very sad to see what the whole world lost. My God what they did to this man its still even now hard to take.
These are brilliant, intelligent, off-the-cuff responses delivered with self-assurance and wit by JFK. The likes of which we did not see in recent times. I wish such practices had continued to the present day. Those in authority should ensure that these clips are preserved ( if possible) in HD form for posterity. The fuzziness and blurred nature of the pictures take away a lot of viewing pleasure from the viewer. Just a thought from Sri Lanka.
I will agree, He was the President! At the young age of 5 ,6 & 7 there was only one other man i looked up to as much, my Dad! I believe he kept remarkable cool under a situation more stressful and demanding by far than any president since Lincoln had to face! In October 1962.
No chopper talk with Kennedy.....i was just a boy at the time....cannot say after listening to some of these interviews any president since has demonstrated the same intelligence and ability to sow seriousness and humor when dealing with matters of government. some of his stuff craked me up even today
This man was not only intelligent, handsome and funny but he actually cared about America and Americans. He could admit when he was wrong, he was accountable and held others accountable. The Kennedy family were all civil servants and his wife also restored the Whitehouse. Look at the trumps compared to Kennedy's there is no comparison.
the free masonry zionist johnson made sure jfk was shot robert shot and ted never became president you could have the best presidents in the history jfk then rfk tfkent
Dee Phillips JFK was a unique individual....handsome , articulate, charismatic, intelligent but also flawed ....as are all human beings ! Sometimes we tend to look back on those years through “ rose colored glasses” ! It was a very different time in history & the political climate was no way near as perverse as it is now ( almost 60 yrs. ago) ! The press is much more acerbic & aggressive....showing less respect for the President & the Office . JFK’s sexual dalliances would probably be reported , today.....but were kept a secret during his time in office ! He was NOT a perfect man ....but then who is ! Just a reflection on the difference in the times !
I just love your comments. So wonderfully worded and true to a factual point. You hit it right on in your most amazing analysis and are a very aware human being. I have a high respect for knowledgeable people like you that can really think and absolutly know what they're talking about.
@@soleilsoleil8287 Get off your silly conspiracist propaganda bullshit Lee Harvey Oswald murdered Kennedy and no one else was involved. Johnson didn't even run for a second term, which I believe was the only time in history that happened. They were all scheduled to sleep over at the LBJ ranch that night. He wrote letters of condolence to the children, and when he first appeared before Congress, he said he would give all he had to not be there. He had absolutely nothing do with the assassination.
I loved Pres. Kennedy and he was a good Pres. but we have a Pres. now who cares about America and its people too.....I think he is going to finish the job JFK started and though he's not as refined as JFK , I think he would've liked the job Pres. Trump is doing. His son was a very good friend of Pres. Trump before he became Pres. and encouraged him to run for Pres.....Jr. liked Pres. Trump.
@@munchenonyou3774 The press has been evil as leftist-skewed for decades. Walter Duranty (NY Times) deliberately ignored the USSR's massive murdering of dissidents (opponents of communism), including the terrible, immoral mass starvation in the Ukraine in the 1930s by Stalin and his central planning by a tiny number of elitists, that is the hallmark of communism.
Come on, it's easy. To say that. This is how a press corps acts. Not the screaming, disrespectful mob we have today. Id like to see how JFK would act with today's mob
Strong, intelligent, decisive, humorous, a little awkward with the rights of women, but the 60's were in their infancy and that battle is still being fought.. as well as equal rights, but he got things moving in the proper direction with strength. He also has the best wickedest Boston , Harvard-educated accent that should be declared the National Accent.
Incredible. Absolutely incredible. Fun fact to those who may see this comment and have no knowledge, Mr. Marshall played as Joseph Kennedy in the "Kennedy" 1980 series with Mr. Martin Sheen as JFK himself. Bless this President.
I was a very young child when he was President. I wish he was President today. God bless you. JFK🙏🇺🇲🇺🇸 I remember your assassination as if it were yesterday. 😥WHY?????
There You Go, because the National Security State (Military-CIA-Hoover) hated JFKs drive to peaceful co-existence with Cuba and the USSR after the close to disaster Oct. 1962 missile crisis, plus LBJs lifelong desire to be president at any cost.
He was the Greatest Leader ❤ of Our time !!! I was a Very young man. When He was tragically taken from Us. The most respected president of my life !!! 😮🎉😊❤
The full.use of your powers along the lines of excellence. Wow! That is certainly something to think about. Even these many years later You are still inspiring us, mr president. Rip, JFK. Simply put, let us do the right thing and 😎😎😎
As a 70 year old man; a volunteer of labor in parks; a Veteran, father caring man; i cry to this day at what happened to this Man an Elite of Power and Privilege; who had in him a virtuous soul of hope and strength to play the game of life and he tiptoed into a new future but building the system up to the justice of politics if any..they Killed Kennedy the rich and powerful and afraid of the true god..
A virtuous soul is a rich and beautiful phrase sir. We need to revive teaching of virtues, civic, and religious. The natural virtues I was taught are- prudence, justness, courage-fortitude, and patience. The cardinal, supernatural virtues are faith, hope, and charity-love. I am returning to school, at 67, to teach these, and the history of truth and philosophy to our bereft young people. In past times we took these virtues as given, for granted if you will. They were taught, preached, and modelled. They have been overtaken by their opposites, the vices. I even at this late date want to be part of rebuilding the soul of our Nation.
President Kennedy demanded respect not only for him but the President’s office. He was so far beyond in intelligence that we have had sense. No one could show him up on questions. I wish we had someone like him today. I doubt this will ever happen again. It’s a shame this country lost this man at such a young age and also his brother Bobby. I believe Robert Kennedy was the country’s second chance of experiencing this great legacy but, it just wasn’t meant to be 😢.
I lament his passing from the day he was murdered and watching My mother cry from seeing the news at the television section at a Sears and Roebuck in suburban Maryland. He was highly intelligent and wanted world peace. He expoused the duty of all citizens even corporate citizens. He has been trashed since his death for his behavior and shortcomings. I'd take him over any President since then .
JFK was the greatest president ever! There'll never be any other that even comes close!! A true gem in the crown of our democracy. May his memory be eternal 🙏 💖
IF there was ever a Time in our Country's History where we needed a John F. Kennedy as POTUS; now is that time. America is literally starved for Leadership in the True Sense of the word.
I was in Grade 3 when he was shot, in a border town in Canada. School was let out early. It was a trauma for the adults and a holiday for the kids. And that's the way it was in my world on November 22, 1963. RIP JFK.
I'll never forget watching these press conferences as a junior high-age boy. Even my Republican parents enjoyed them and we rarely missed them! It's an American tragedy that JFK didn't live to finish his first term and go onto a second.

President John F. Kennedy and his family are in my heart and prayers, always. God bless his courage and goodness.
Brilliance and class, it's been a long time.
The man did not act like a president, he wás the president.
The last real president the americans had. A true hero!
here comes bernie sanders !
Don’t forget Obama, he was pretty damn good! But no one beats JFK!
*Zachariah Wilburn* __Unlike in the rest of the free world ....(although Sanders admittedly seems somewhat inadequate), a West European type social democrat will never ever get a look in, in Uncle Sam's one party state , where since the coup of '63 ,it never makes much difference which of the two allowed political parties occupies the White House .
Both allowed parties eventually take their marching orders from the military industrial complex and other powerful unelected organizations.......While through relentless propaganda the U.S. electorate was made to distrust social democrats ,who were supposed to be "communists in disguise"...
While in U.S. election circuses, where "Our Fine Military" always gets centre stage acknowledgement, such bullshit isn't necessary in most European elections , where it would cause major controversy.... Since it's understood that such obvious military gloryfication is the privilege of military regimes.
Those west European nations that are govorned by social democrats or coalitions which include them, have all the rampant consumerism ,free market and media like in Uncle Sam's paradise....only without the nasty cut throat capitalist deregulation side effects, like crumbling infrastructure , overcrowded prisons, monthly mass shootings, foodstamps for the growing number of poor , subsidising Wallstreet bankers when they screw things up. While "Our Fine Military" is allowed by the two allowed parties to grab their annual biggest percentage from the people's treasury without ever having to offer an independent audit , also usually the privilege of military regimes....
No surprise Kennedy got removed because he had his own ideas about such matters. Since then no administration dared to stand in the way of the Pentagon conglomerate, knowing the concequences such 'folly' would bring ......
All with "god's blessings" ofcourse....
@Jos van Bommel:
The President and I were in the pool, splashing playfully, while Dave Powers was sitting on the edge, with his feet dangling in the water. Then JFK swam over and whispered in my ear: ‘Mr Powers looks a little tense - would you take care of it?’
I knew exactly what that meant: it was a dare to give Dave Powers oral sex.
I don’t think the President thought I’d do it, but I’m ashamed to say that I did. It was a pathetic, sordid scene, and I can hardly bear to think about it. Dave was jolly and obedient as I stood in the shallow end of the pool and performed my duties. The President silently watched.
Once Upon a Secret: My Affair with President John F. Kennedy and Its Aftermath
by Mimi Alford
@Maria Callous JFK was a drug abuser.
Although anyone with half a brain in America is familiar with who JFK was, when you really spend time (thanks to youtube) listening to JFK at these press conferences and to his speeches and interviews------you really understand that we may never see anyone of his intelligence, charisma, and political abilities again.
Read his "American University" speech. He talks of the USSR & it's ppl as no one ever did
No question. This man was 100 years ahead of our time. He saw it. He saw the future through studying the past and living through war and wealth but seeing poverty and evil. He was ultra intelligent and had the Irish wit so no one could match him in any debate or any talk of what the US must do in the next 50 years. Amazing skill, talent and empathy. A true leader in every sense of the word.
We will. Maybe not during our lifetime, but I believe one day our nation will be blessed by the presence of a highly intelligent leader, listener and speaker such as President Kennedy!
Yes.. thank you Mr President!! You changed the world and I miss you every single day. 💔
I am a Canadian military veteran and I, along with millions of Canadians would agree with you: JFK had a great
sense of humour. I am working on a time capsule to be buried in my home town: The main focus will be on
American President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, I think that you and future generations will appreciate this
project, JFK was more for the people than all the other ones were. Thank you. From Patrick McCarthy in Canada.
@@newsreel493namics I believe the Canadians named a mountain in Alberta after Kennedy & seen a photo of Bobby skiing down it. Mt. Kennedy.
@@spudjohnsonn8122 That is correct: John F. Kennedy and his brother, Robert F. Kennedy are still very popular in Canada today: All schools in the Canadian province were closed from the Friday until the Tuesday of that tragic weekend in Dallas: November 22nd to November 25th 1963: television came of age: Remember??
@@newsreel493namics Yes, I do remember, I live near Sault Saint Marie, Ontario.
I wasn't even born when JFK was president, I even did a report on him in Elementary school..my God what an intellectual person he was way ahead of his time and gone too soon.
JFK was years ahead of his time and could have been President any time, he was the first TV president ,One can only imagine how the world would have been had he not been assassinated . I would love to see another President like him. R.I.P Mr President
So would I, but they killed RFK & JFK Jr. to keep the lies & who was involved from the public. I found it odd not one news organization investigated the assassination. Who really runs this crappy country? They keep murdering our most promising leaders.
What most people don't realize is the Kennedys weren't Freemasons. They weren't Satan knobbers or was Carter!
He barely won in 1960 he could not be “president any time”
@@flyingchimp12 I believe it’s outstanding he pulled off the win. He faced a far more experienced opponent and still won. His views would be glorified today
Yes he could've yes the election was tight but the Nixon type president is long pass its prime j f.k was the future even without watergate Nixon was out of touch and I still to this day like Nixon I remember the 1972 election and couldn't vote but was routing for him.
God, how I miss this man.
Our country has never been the same. I too miss him , I was nine when he was shot
@@JMC786 I was 13 when he was assassinated. You are correct in saying that our country has never been the same…
I get tears in my eyes when I hear him speak. RFK was also great!
Oswald didn't !
@ 8:45 -- Watch how President JFK handels/answers the question from the lady reporter...PRICELESS...❤️❤️❤️👏👍🤘❣️
God , I love this president! his vigour, velocity, intelligence elegance ,!!!!eloquence !!! Just everything ….our worldly president!!!
Thank you for trying President Kennedy sorry that men's hearts were to evil too understand you you truly were the best President not just because of intelligence but because you were one who loved people and loved his country and hoped for all mankind R.I.P JFK
And somehow managed to forget his wife and played low comedy with that simple child Marilyn Monroe. Had she not become involved with the Kennedy tribe who knows - she might still be alive.

Thanks for the video! What a man! It is difficult to compare his eloquence to the pitiful ignorance and hatred displayed today. Best of luck to all of us.
I love how “tough” people were back then. Not thin-skinmed. They jab back and forth then laugh it off and move on. Nobody gets outraged or offended, but also isn’t afraid to be a bit assholish!
John, very good point. Comedians poked fun at ethnic stereotypes, and few took it so seriously to demand retribution or that the comic stop. Today, so thin-skinned a little joke on them makes them go insane with hate and rage! Where, besides if they got it from their typical left-wing, Marxist, university professors, did that response and hate come from?
Very good observation. You're quite right.
Very good point.
Excellent comment.
Went from JFK...to Sleepy Joe Biden...what a backwards turnaround God damn...
We are so privileged to have the technology to see him after so ma.y years.
58 years ago, today we have nothing close to the class of JFK!
Yes, and there is a reason for that: JFK was effectively the last ligitment President of the United States. His death was the result of a cout d-etate . Will Morgan
OBAMA comes somewhat close...
Will Morgan he faked his own death. JFK was a UN globalist
Margaret Gust the media was corrupt back then as well
DonaldMele no
“The answer is no, I don’t recommend this job to others.” Such wit and authority. Grace too.
"..at least not for a little while."
JFK always knew the right thing to say.
And the right thing to do. A true visionary.
A comic.
It isn't a myth that he was a great president. Listen to this back when the USA had a leader.
And the cia have done everything, including removing him, to see to it that no leader would carry out what he intended or be able to follow in his footsteps.
@@alchemybyangela oh, brother
President Kennedy was right about nuclear weapons.
Gas too
JFK is sorely and surely missed. RIP JACK
This man was a genius..like it or not.
He was, this is a fact. His IQ was extremely high!
My favorite president, rest in peace Jack.
Better to light a candle than curse the darkness. Good one.
After watching this president and think of what we have now I could just sit down and cry and I am a 70 year old then I think of this government killing this man I feel when this man was killed it was the beginning of the end of this country.
I am from Spain, and only 20 years old but I couldn't agree more
I feel the same way!
On his assination your government was overthrown! Does anyone really believe it wasn't a conspiracy??
@@macintosh46 it wasn’t a conspiracy
Of FFS. This man cheated on his wife and kids continuously throughout his marriage just like Trump. So what the hell are you lamenting?
What a gifted man they likes wee will never see again,
President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was a breath of fresh air in American politics.
His press conferences filmed at the State Department Auditorium were very innovative and informative.
It makes me sad to watch this man skillfully, intelligently and even humorously answer questions, compared to what we've been subjected to over the last four years.
Sanity versus, and we all know it, plain and simple, madness. It happens sometimes in history- George III, 1790-1820 period. Hitler.Stalin, 1950-53 period. We are not exempt from History simply because we are Americans.
If the Press treated Trump even remotely fairly, you might have a different view. And in the Biden years, you have a fumbling cadaver at the podium. It’s embarrassing for this nation.
“Of the multitude who throughout history have spoken for human dignity in times of great suffering and loss,” Mr. Kennedy declared, “no voice is more compelling than that of “Anne Frank.” He said that “her humor, her humanity and her hope illuminate the hearts of men heavily clouded by the apparent willingness of those who seek power and domain over the soul of man to again deprive people of the right to live in peace, tolerance and freedom.”
In a better world, Anne Frank perhaps,would've become a Dutch journalist, and covered President Kennedy's second term.
President Kennedy was a wonderful man. People need to listen and learn about how he was .
It's Wonderful to see such Wit, Intellect and Candour but it's also so very sad to see what the whole world lost. My God what they did to this man its still even now hard to take.
Thank you Mr. President! I wish you could have been my president too. In some way you were. Greetings from Europe.
He was calm, cool, confident, intelligent, gifted, and the classiest President I ever voted for.
What is striking is the goodwill shown to JFK by the press
These are brilliant, intelligent, off-the-cuff responses delivered with self-assurance and wit by JFK. The likes of which we did not see in recent times. I wish such practices had continued to the present day. Those in authority should ensure that these clips are preserved ( if possible) in HD form for posterity. The fuzziness and blurred nature of the pictures take away a lot of viewing pleasure from the viewer. Just a thought from Sri Lanka.
28:23 to 29:35 - Sharp, quick, withering takedown by JFK. Brilliant.
I will agree, He was the President! At the young age of 5 ,6 & 7 there was only one other man i looked up to as much, my Dad! I believe he kept remarkable cool under a situation more stressful and demanding by far than any president since Lincoln had to face! In October 1962.
James Hiney and likely saved the lives of 100 million people in the process.
❤️❤️❤️ President John F Kennedy -- Before, Now & Always...❣️💕
.
When press conferences mattered and were in competent hands.
No chopper talk with Kennedy.....i was just a boy at the time....cannot say after listening to some of these interviews any president since has demonstrated the same intelligence and ability to sow seriousness and humor when dealing with matters of government.
some of his stuff craked me up even today
He did speed reading 1500 words a minute. Enormously resourceful in intellect, humor, basic humanity.
God bless JFK! He is missed
When a president used his brain because he had one.
The man answered questions with class and respect.He did not insult the reporters !
Nor did the reports insult him.
This man was not only intelligent, handsome and funny but he actually cared about America and Americans. He could admit when he was wrong, he was accountable and held others accountable. The Kennedy family were all civil servants and his wife also restored the Whitehouse. Look at the trumps compared to Kennedy's there is no comparison.
the free masonry zionist johnson made sure jfk was shot robert shot and ted never became president you could have the best presidents in the history jfk then rfk tfkent
You're absolutely right!
Dee Phillips JFK was a unique individual....handsome , articulate, charismatic, intelligent but also flawed ....as are all human beings ! Sometimes we tend to look back on those years through “ rose colored glasses” ! It was a very different time in history & the political climate was no way near as perverse as it is now ( almost 60 yrs. ago) ! The press is much more acerbic & aggressive....showing less respect for the President & the Office . JFK’s sexual dalliances would probably be reported , today.....but were kept a secret during his time in office ! He was NOT a perfect man ....but then who is ! Just a reflection on the difference in the times !
I just love your comments. So wonderfully worded and true to a factual point. You hit it right on in your most amazing analysis and are a very aware human being. I have a high respect for knowledgeable people like you that can really think and absolutly know what they're talking about.
@@soleilsoleil8287 Get off your silly conspiracist propaganda bullshit Lee Harvey Oswald murdered Kennedy and no one else was involved. Johnson didn't even run for a second term, which I believe was the only time in history that happened. They were all scheduled to sleep over at the LBJ ranch that night. He wrote letters of condolence to the children, and when he first appeared before Congress, he said he would give all he had to not be there. He had absolutely nothing do with the assassination.
Jesus! He was funny! What a sense of humor!
Perfect answers from a perfect person
Our late Beloved President Kennedy was a breath of fresh air in American politics.
His press conferences wete both innovative and informative.
How masterful he was, so unlike what we have now!
I loved Pres. Kennedy and he was a good Pres. but we have a Pres. now who cares about America and its people too.....I think he is going to finish the job JFK started and though he's not as refined as JFK , I think he would've liked the job Pres. Trump is doing. His son was a very good friend of Pres. Trump before he became Pres. and encouraged him to run for Pres.....Jr. liked Pres. Trump.
@@eileenjones3918 😂😂😂😂😂
Eileen, I agree with your statement about President Trump.
The hummingbird has a hummingbird's brain.
Russell is a brainwashed member of the cult.
Everyone is so respectful and he manages every question with intelligence and grace
hanging around after and shaking hands with the press. need i say anymore
Sure, they all partied with him at their compound.
Also back in a time when the press wasnt evil and ideologically skewed.
Very far from the deeply divided state we have today.
@@munchenonyou3774 The press has been evil as leftist-skewed for decades. Walter Duranty (NY Times) deliberately ignored the USSR's massive murdering of dissidents (opponents of communism), including the terrible, immoral mass starvation in the Ukraine in the 1930s by Stalin and his central planning by a tiny number of elitists, that is the hallmark of communism.
Press and news media was far different back then.
That's how a real President speaks to the press.
Come on, it's easy. To say that. This is how a press corps acts. Not the screaming, disrespectful mob we have today. Id like to see how JFK would act with today's mob
JFK at 48 35... "I'm still many months away"
Not even an entire month was left to him.
None of us know how many months we have left. We hope for many, but we don’t know. JFK could only hope, as can we. Hoping is not knowing.
Strong, intelligent, decisive, humorous, a little awkward with the rights of women, but the 60's were in their infancy and that battle is still being fought.. as well as equal rights, but he got things moving in the proper direction with strength. He also has the best wickedest Boston , Harvard-educated accent that should be declared the National Accent.
Bobby Bob I uh...I uh...Well, I agree with you. But only if you share some chowdah along with yoah ahgument.
Hey wait a bit. We Mainuhs have a wicked good accent too.
I wish Presidents and Politicians would speak this clear now a days
Incredible. Absolutely incredible.
Fun fact to those who may see this comment and have no knowledge, Mr. Marshall played as Joseph Kennedy in the "Kennedy" 1980 series with Mr. Martin Sheen as JFK himself. Bless this President.
Marvellous! The ‘Mrs Murphy’ moment was priceless.
Thank you. Love the memories...
I was a very young child when he was President. I wish he was President today. God bless you. JFK🙏🇺🇲🇺🇸 I remember your assassination as if it were yesterday. 😥WHY?????
There You Go, because the National Security State (Military-CIA-Hoover) hated JFKs drive to peaceful co-existence with Cuba and the USSR after the close to disaster Oct. 1962 missile crisis, plus LBJs lifelong desire to be president at any cost.
He was the Greatest Leader ❤ of Our time !!! I was a Very young man. When He was tragically taken from Us. The most respected president of my life !!! 😮🎉😊❤
A real president!
The best president ever even former jugoslavia loved him
I really think that President John F Kennedy was a member of a very decent club. I mean pure class God bless you Mr President and I salute you Sir 👏
The full.use of your powers along the lines of excellence. Wow! That is certainly something to think about. Even these many years later
You are still inspiring us, mr president. Rip, JFK. Simply put, let us do the right thing and 😎😎😎
Wow and wow
Clear, respect and brilliant from both the president and the press…
"A free society." Boy, have we allowed that to be messed-up by all these professional politicians.
Actually I think it was the non-professional or the unprofessional politicians who “messed up” . . .
He missed?society or club?
JFK & RFK were so intelligent, charismatic and overall awesome.
As a 70 year old man; a volunteer of labor in parks; a Veteran, father caring man; i cry to this day at what happened to this Man an Elite of Power and Privilege; who had in him a virtuous soul of hope and strength to play the game of life and he tiptoed into a new future but building the system up to the justice of politics if any..they Killed Kennedy the rich and powerful and afraid of the true god..
A virtuous soul is a rich and beautiful phrase sir. We need to revive teaching of virtues, civic, and religious. The natural virtues I was taught are- prudence, justness, courage-fortitude, and patience. The cardinal, supernatural virtues are faith, hope, and charity-love. I am returning to school, at 67, to teach these, and the history of truth and philosophy to our bereft young people. In past times we took these virtues as given, for granted if you will. They were taught, preached, and modelled. They have been overtaken by their opposites, the vices. I even at this late date want to be part of rebuilding the soul of our Nation.
President Kennedy demanded respect not only for him but the President’s office. He was so far beyond in intelligence that we have had sense. No one could show him up on questions. I wish we had someone like him today. I doubt this will ever happen again. It’s a shame this country lost this man at such a young age and also his brother Bobby. I believe Robert Kennedy was the country’s second chance of experiencing this great legacy but, it just wasn’t meant to be 😢.
I lament his passing from the day he was murdered and watching My mother cry from seeing the news at the television section at a Sears and Roebuck in suburban Maryland. He was highly intelligent and wanted world peace. He expoused the duty of all citizens even corporate citizens. He has been trashed since his death for his behavior and shortcomings. I'd take him over any President since then .
Dear Mr. Kennedy... Gone but never forgotten. 😢
One of the greatest presidents. JFK had smarts,wits and personality
JFK was the greatest president ever! There'll never be any other that even comes close!! A true gem in the crown of our democracy. May his memory be eternal 🙏 💖
Wow! That was AWESOME! Such a stark contrast to both the press and the Presidents of our current time period.
I wish I could wave a wand, and bring him back today.
Brilliant. Thank you
IF there was ever a Time in our Country's History where we needed a John F. Kennedy as POTUS; now is that time. America is literally starved for Leadership in the True Sense of the word.
He was handsome, charming, smart and funny. How can you not simply adore him! Thank you, Mr. President. 🙏🇺🇲💙🤗
I was in Grade 3 when he was shot, in a border town in Canada. School was let out early. It was a trauma for the adults and a holiday for the kids. And that's the way it was in my world on November 22, 1963. RIP JFK.
I love him and his brother .
Thanks for uploading, very insightful.
I was 6years old and was proud of President Kennedy.
I'll never forget watching these press conferences as a junior high-age boy. Even my Republican parents enjoyed them and we rarely missed them! It's an American tragedy that JFK didn't live to finish his first term and go onto a second.
wow, night and day to today
