The Kennedys on Reelz

I just watched the first part of the miniseries, "The Kennedy's" and this is why I love politics and history. If you are old enough to remember the 60's when we elected John Kennedy as president, who will enjoy the inside look into the "royal family" of America. If you are too young to remember, watch and you will see a part of history and be entertained at the same time. This show, according to one of the actors, is very much a Greek tragedy. Not only does this show, but politics and history, have everything that you would want to entertain. There is drama, intrigue, suspense, sex, murder and tragedy. All the elements that comprise life itself is here and in the pages of history. I remember everything from the convention, to the election, right through the tragic assassination of our young president. The most vivid part for me, is remembering the murder of the president and watching while the entire country wept together. It is hard to imagine this occurred almost fifty years ago. I still see President Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy in the image of Camelot. It was a different era in our nation and one that we are unlikely to see again. The flame at Arlington Cemetery burns eternal, as will the vision of a young man, elected to the highest office in our nation.
