If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people - their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties - someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad; if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." - John F. Kennedy

The Big Dog is 60
Happy Birthday Sir! While I did not always agree with you and thought you a little too "centrist" at times, I liked you and voted for you and still feel that you are probably the greatest President of my lifetime. Though sometimes I lean towards JFK for that honor most of the the time, on balance, you win. You won't win the award for most moral as that award goes to Jimmy Carter but in the big picture you are the Big Dog.
Looking at what we have now occupying the Whitehouse and remembering the America of your two terms and the promise and potential that we have lost is enough to bring one to tears.
