@tlambarty2003 that's sheer nonsense. Much of the progressive legislation passed during the Johnson years was drafted by Kennedy and his team, including the civil rights legislation you mention. One might add that Kennedy gave his very life for his controversial stands on such issues.
@Yellyist Same here. I notice how views on Kennedy videos just keep getting more and more all the time. They look at the leaders of today and are disgusted.
@Suprkit We disagree on Johnson.. I blame him for the Vietnam war. He reversed Kennedy`s agenda, after kennedy was dead, and moved hundreds of thousand soliders into Vietnam. He did well on domestic issues, but his legacy will always be vietnam.
@Yellyist Yes,Johnson had Vietnam(thanks to the Generals) and social unrest to deal with. But the Civil Rights Bill was stalled at the time of Kennedy's assassination and would not have passed if Johnson had not forced the Congress to do so,along with what would become the Great Society(which was being formulated before Kennedy's death). I have great respect for both of them,even with Johnson's flaws.
@Suprkit i agree. Johnson was a disaster. It went straight to hell when they killed Kennedy. He was a great president. it would never have been a civil rights bill without Kennedy. I love the man. He`s my favorite president.
@Yellyist That's why it's "Code" lol. She was referring to an example that many would not really understand unless it was explained in detail. Also, the fact that he was of Irish decent may have played a role in her asking the question that way. He was a great leader lost before his time.
Kennedy was a beauty

Thank God for LBJ because Kennedy did nothing for Civil Rights. Johnson did not only give speeches, but he took action.
