JFK Papers

Is his 'womanising' however distasteful, relevant here?

JFK was elevated to saintlike status and nobody can live up to that.

His behaviour towards his wife and other women does, on the face of it, seem rather unpleasant.

I was more disappointed to hear in a documentary about Sammy Davis Jnr that, after campaigning hard for JFK, SDJ was not invited to his inaugural ball since JFK feared there would be a white backlash because SDJ had married a white actress.

We think of presidents being very powerful but I'm sure they can be destroyed quite easily if they upset the wrong people.

We are back to the all women are victims claims . Women were eager to get into bed with these powerful men

anniebach I'm not sure anyone suggested JFK had done anything illegal or that these women were "victims". You seem, however, to be implying that it was somehow their fault that he "strayed".

I don't think his marital/extra-marital relationships are particularly pertinent to his performance as a president. But, given your outrage regarding Corbyn's marriages and suggestion that it demonstrates a flawed character, I wonder why you appear to be making excuses for JFK who did not divorce Jackie Kennedy but who nevertheless saw fit to engage in numerous humiliating and well documented dalliances while he was married to her.

Then keep wondering .Eleothan , all I can say to help you

Only a sarcastic, dismissive response, as usual.

then you got what you were hoping for Eleothan and why you asked the questioned , I try to please
