18. That's amazing. I had never seen it before.

Thanks napkinz... Gosh, it's hard to believe it's been 21 years since he took office.

8. It's so sad that although Clinton became president, he could never be as great as Kennedy.

14. We don't know how Kennedy would have ended his presidency.

He hadn't even finished his first term when he was killed.

15. True. He could've messed up & become Clintonesque over time. But I prefer to remember him as great.

10. so even as a teenager, Clinton was good at winning elections

having been selected to goto Boy's Nation. Was there only ONE from each state? That's a pretty elite group right there.

Me, I didn't even get to goto Boys State from my own tiny little state. The Legion people didn't think I was gung ho enough about going to war or something.

11. And, then......

[Beacool]

13. People sometimes don't realize how much they can influence others.

Kennedy could have never guessed that the kid whose hand he shook on that day would hold his job, and be the third youngest president (Kennedy being second and Teddy Roosevelt first).

Billy, my son!

Kids, that's what rotgut whiskey and Lucky Strikes will do to you. Not even once.
