Both, one literally, the other figuratively but there is no comparison

Jack was taken out way too early. Shame too. I look back at history and
thought he could have done some great things. One thing about him was
he could sure deliver a great speech...

I am not as convinced. He was an arrogant jerk who almost destroyed
the world for no real reason and his brother shredded the
constitution. Other than that I suppose he did look good on TV.


you may be right. I was 7 yrs old when he was assassinated. I'm looking
far into retrospect.


Camelot. Since he really screwed the pooch in his short time as
President, but looked good, talked well, had a nice looking wife (who he
played around on, and she to do the same playing around. Who the press
seemed to overlook) and killed. The presidency was glossed up.


There was a very good chance that he was going to lose the 64
election. That is why he was in Dallas in the first place, trying to
get the solid southern democrat vote back.
