what i like about JFK was the "Cuber" part in place of Cuba...

@Jimmymoneymoney 203207ab was talking about G.W.'s skills as a politician. Bush was twice the politician JFk ever thought about being. Why do you think the American people reelected him? Bush certainly didn't get reelected on the merits of his performance in the White House. He was down to Earth, didn't flatter, and didn't put on airs.

Ahem. If there was anybody that Bush did not talk down to, it was because he was too fucking stupid to do so. Furthermore he was a cokehead who dodged the war and sent the rest of America into it in his stead.

To that guy below. He didn't talk down to people? you've got to be kidding me. I think President George W. Bush 2001-2008, was a brilliant politian who didn't talk above or down to anyone. He was the guy you wanted to have a beer with, even more so than John K. I would think.

Notice how JFK didn't talk down to or patronize his audience, unlike politicians of all stripes today.

Great clip. Very interesting to see JFK campaigning.

I read somewhere that JFK's hands were aching with pain after his visit to the coalminers. JFK said he never knew anybody who could shake hands as hard as the coalminers in West Virginia!

Great video!
