JFK mini-series on the History Channel

[Bayard]

I just finished watching all 8 episodes. It was really well done, and follows JFK from a little boy, to his assassination. Plenty of interviews, including with noted historians. Archival photos and clips. I was fascinated by little things I never knew, although when he died, I was only in second grade.

The man certainly had his faults, but he was basically honorable and idealistic. He genuinely loved this country, and tried to do the right thing. People loved him, here and around the world.

I look at what the office has devolved into now, and it not only really pisses me off, it makes me truly sad. Kennedy brought hope, compassion, intelligence, and foresight.

Compare and contrast.
