John Fitzgerald Kennedy suggests that “We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world or make it the last.”. I think this shows that Kennedy was truly trying his best as our President. This also makes me think that John F. Kennedy was a great leader that had lots of goals set and he fulfilled many of them as well. He must of had an opened mind for the future. Kennedy definitely had great plans for the U.S.. John F.
