I liked Kennedy. So far, he is the only American president who could talk with me and with whom I could talk. I know Johnson, but I have not yet a clear opinion of him.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I would've loved Jack Kennedy. I would've loved to have campaigned for him and supported him. I wish there were more like him today.
Bobby Kennedy's conduct toward Lyndon Johnson was childish and despicable. As the years went on, he displayed nasty, self-pitying, and messianic qualities that would have made him a dangerously authoritarian president.
Kennedy was like a rock star. Carter was the earnest outsider at the height of Washington cynicism. Clinton was a bad boy who proposed his 'third way' of Democratic politics, and Obama brought hope and change to a country that so desperately needed it.
Kennedy was a man who liked writers and even I got invited to the White House.
Lyndon Johnson, I know for a fact, was a great president. And I don't mean by that he was a great man.
Robert Kennedy was such an inspiring figure. His interest in politics seemed to come not from a desire for power, but from a need to help our society live up to its ideals.
Kennedy was a lot of fun, always. He had something going on. But not Nixon.
President Kennedy was the greatest man I ever met, and the best friend I ever had.
I like Ronald Reagan, who didn't play crass politics, and he just articulated and delivered on broad themes that were needed. Free markets meant free markets. Deregulation. Lower tax rates. Strong national defense. And he was credible and believable.
The person I liked the best was Gerald R. Ford. He was the most decent man in politics I ever had any relationships with.
