Help with criticising Kennedy's Presidency.


First off I am a huge fan of John F. Kennedy, I truly believe he was one of the best President's of the United States and the most inspiring.

With that being said I have been assigned to make a video covering JFK's presidency using archive footage such as newsreels and press conferences. I would greatly appreciate any help. Finding sources that praise Kennedy is no problem, Cuban Missile Crisis, his speeches, his flare - all covered.

But when it comes to his earlier mishaps the video's are slightly less. First off the Bay of Pigs, can anyone link me to any video's where the press are criticising his decisions or ideally where the public are voicing their opinion on the bad job JFK has done.

Quotes like "He's too young" and "he won't go down in history" would be perfect. Very important that these are taken from the time and not some recent reporter saying them. I'm aware Virtual JFK has a lot of footage that would be useful but so far I've only been downloading from youtube where that documentary is not on.

For anyone who can help you have my gratitude.

Consideration.
