How is JFK the last REAL president by your standards? He came from a rather wealthy family, and his father was a prominent politician who basically bought his election to the House of Representatives in the 1940s...
John F. Kennedy was the last real President in that he was the last President to actually give a damn about the people of the United States and did what he thought was right in the office. Despite what his "advisors" constantly attempt to push on him. Examples:
1. The CIA told JFK before he approved the Bay of Pigs Invasion, that no U.S. servicemen would be used or needed for the operation to be a sucess as it was the only way he would agree to it. When it became obvious that the CIA lied to him when the invasion began to fail becaue of the lack of originally planned U.S. air support, JFK still refused to risk American lives for a cause he sternly believed was the sole responsibility of the Cubans. This really pissed off the CIA, and ever since, JFK completley distrusted them.
2. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, amidst constant pressure from his advisors, who had a vested interest in going to war, JFK refused the full out invasion of Cuba that they demanded he must do. He shrewdly understood that in such a tricky situation, it would be most beneficial to the American people to negotiate. He did just that, compromising with the Soviets in such a way that was entirely to the disfavor of the wealthy elite in this country.
3. Knowing that the Federal Reserve was a corrupt institution that served only to the discredit of the American people, JFK ordered the issuing of $4 billion dollars of debt-free Treasury Notes from the U.S. Treasury Department, as opposed to the Federal Reserve. Doing this meant less inflation, and a stronger economy. It also meant a loss in profits for the rich bankers of the Fed.
4. Had JFK lived, Vietnam would have never happened. In 1962, he had his Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara, draft the orders for the pullout of 1000 U.S. advisors to South Vietnam by Christmas of 1964. Following this, he had planned on the complete pull-out of all U.S. forces in Vietnam by 1965. He remained publically quiet about this in order not to compromise himself in the 1964 election, but he privatley believed that Vietnam would only be a quagmire. This could not happen to the business interests who had invested so much in the coming war in terms of military spending and contracting, as well as the Federal Reserve bankers that would earn more interest money due to the government's need to borrow more money.
So, in November, 1963, he was shot in the head. JFK was the last President to do what was best for the American people while in office, and refused to compromise that to benefit the business interests that had been hijacking the U.S. government for decades. Ever since, the President has essentially been a public face, that does determine some things, but not anything that was already set in motion by the same business interests that JFK opposed.
