    The role of the President of the United States is supremely overwhelming. Many have come and gone with their own take on the job, and some have been liked by the general populace more than others. In my opinion, one of (if not) the best presidents was Franklin D. Roosevelt. He entered the office during the Great Depression and stayed throughout the second World War. His actions and decisions have changed the United States for the better good, and without him we could potentially have been in the Great Depression for many more years, not to mention that we could have been in a much worse state due to World War II.…

Kennedy, he was completely ignorant of Lee Harvey Oswald and his objective and although fell victim to the radicalism of communism, he did was simply not the great president everyone thought he was.

    Although it certainly contributed to the overall conflict, ideology was not the main concern that brought about the Cuban Missile Crisis but rather the threat of national security that it imposed on the US, Cuba and Soviet Union. The reason the crisis occurred was due to distinct differences in views on how society should be run and not simply based on rivalry amongst the superpowers. The US believed in democracy, and due to Soviet influence, Cuba supported a communist regime. It is undeniable they both became blindsided to each other’s views and had not assessed the consequences of their actions. The US were concerned that a communist state was now located only seventy miles from their borders.…
