After talking with the President-elect, Bill Gates said he expects him to carry the US through new stages of innovation just like Kennedy did with the space program in the 1960s.
He said he believes the new administration will bring new ideas in areas like education, science & energy through greatly reduced regulation.

True...

But it was Kennedy's legacy defined by Kennedy in his inaugural speech ("All this will not be finished in the first 100 days. Nor will it be finished in the first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.") that prompted Johnson (who actually despised the Kennedys) to take on Kennedy's program defined by his address to the nation ("Today in this moment of new resolve, I would say to all my fellow Americans, let us continue."

There's no doubt that the US "chose to go to the moon in this decade" to honour the legacy of Kennedy.

He was, by that, a great leader, who could still inspire and lead his nation from beyond the grave.

However, it was Kennedy's naivety and (maybe) youthful belligerence and posturing that brought the world closer to the edge of a nuclear holocaust than any President before or since.

I'd bet that would be true.

Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.

Matthew 15:7
Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8  This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9  But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.


John 12:42
Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
43  For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

corrupt = = willing to act dishonestly in return for money or personal gain.      evil or morally depraved.

Well... You're American after all!!

How does Kennedy's secret withdrawal of US bases in Turkey as part of the missile withdrawal deal fit in with unilateral Soviet aggression?

Bill Gates likens Trump to JFK

You're better than that.

I believe they have, North. Bogie has been moved to a parish without any news.

He has to make it up.

Hang on, isn't Bill Gates the Establishment?

Here is the text of the video interview. Nowhere, does Gates actually condone Trump. He was very diplomatic, focusing what he hopes for in the new administration. ("has an opportunity") The oblique reference to Kennedy is not as if he is saying Trump is like Kennedy. He is doing a comparison of situation where the country became enthused. The media has turned Kennedy into a hero because of Cuba not the Space programme. No one seems to remember that it was Kennedy who first justified the invasion of Vietnam, a policy that ultimately got killed 50,000 Americans and 521 Australians.


Quote:


President-elect Donald Trump has an opportunity to establish "American leadership through innovation," Bill Gates told CNBC on Tuesday.

"A lot of his message has been about ... where he sees things not as good as he'd like," the billionaire Microsoft co-founder said on "Squawk Box."

"But in the same way President Kennedy talked about the space mission and got the country behind that," Gates continued, "I think whether it's education or stopping epidemics ... [or] in this energy space, there can be a very upbeat message that [Trump's] administration [is] going to organize things, get rid of regulatory barriers, and have American leadership through innovation."

Gates said he recently spoke on the phone with Trump, and discussed the power of innovation. "Of course, my whole career has been along those lines. And he was interested in listening to that. And I'm sure there will be further conversation."

Gates said it was the first time he had spoken with Trump, though he said they have mutual friends.
