- JFK
It has been said that if JFK hadn't been killed, he would've gone down in history as a mediocre President at best. I'm not sure I agree, because it's purely speculative. But I do believe (from a HISTORICAL perspective - meaning compared to ALL 43 of our Presidents) his presidency has been overrated.
I'm not saying that his impact on your life, PaperTurtle's life or even on the 60s has been overrated. I will admit up-front that John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Bobby Kennedy were the dominant figures of the 1960s - at least in terms of capturing the hopes and aspirations of the American people.
