Kennedy Legacy

Jack Kennedy will always be a controversial guy but he had a number of distinctive qualities about his presidency. Through the Bay of Pigs and Vietnam one can see he was aggressive militarily, a distinctive anti-communist,with a confidence in America's duty to influence international developments. He initiated the space program, an audacious decision that he hoped would define the exceptional qualities he saw in the nation. More, he thought the nation capable of this staggering ambition. He cut taxes to promote growth and the increased revenue for the government such growth would yield. And he was a man who was willing to expose his personal, religious beliefs: He was pro-life.
