My wife DVR’d a lot of the coverage of the ceremonies remembering the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy. We are sitting together right now watching the coverage.
Obviously it was before my time, but you didn’t need to be there to see what a colossal waste it was. All of that hope. All of that optimism. Gone in a flash. Listen to his speeches and compare them to those made by our politicians today. It’s painful how he could speak of finding the correct solutions rather than the Republican or Democratic solutions. It makes me feel as though we’ve soiled his legacy with our inability to work together. Maybe we should take a step back and think about what that Irish guy from Massachusetts taught us during that brief little window that we had him among us.
Rob, this is one of the best posts you’ve ever done. I remember him so well and today was difficult for me. To think he did so much in just under three years as our President is almost incomprehensible. What a waste of a truly unique and ingenious man.
