John F. Kennedy's Presidential Overlook(Final Draft)

November 8, 1961

How exactly did John F. Kennedy become president? that is a question that gets most of us wondering at the above moment in history isn't it? Sure, you know he won and that he had many great qualities, but he was not your ordinary presidential candidate.
It's believed many people chose him because of his dad and his political influence, some said just out of pure hope and faith. But the steps Kennedy took were much harder and likely more effective. No amount of political ties can sway the people of the United States to vote for a person. He was a very powerful and confident speaker, and his honesty impressed many. His presidency will not be forgotten, but what about how he became president? Lets take a look, at the time he was president and Kennedy was working hard for his campaign. At the same time he was going around from state to state to make allies and encourage loyalty in tose his met--both in the political world and the every day one.
But what many thought helped him was his televised face off with Lyndon B. Johnson. At the same time, John F. Kennedy put four adds on the T.V. to help with his campaign. These adds were just as important as the Lyndon B. Johnson face off because at least one of these adds was seen by 85 to 120 million Americans. Even after all his valiant efforts, though, Kennedy only won the election by a small margin of less than 120,000 votes. But don't get the wrong idea, even though Kennedy was not overwhelmingly popular by most of the crowd, he did not give up. Winning was winning and he had made pomises to the public and had work to do to make our country great.
No matter what, Kennedy changed the course of history due to his help and support in the school systms. His treaty with russia was another top accomplishment. Also unique was the John F. Kennedy was the first Roman Catholic president and the second youngest president (Theodore Roosevelt who was 42 when he took office, one year younger than John F. Kennedy). No one will forget the part of his inaguration speech where he said, "ask not what you can do, but ask what you can do for your country".
