I finally found the changing of the guard (photo) JFK & young W Clinton

[Omaha Steve]

I saw the photo CNN while President Clinton was still in office. I wrote to the white house and CNN to see about getting a copy. No luck. I tried a goggle last night and found it in several places. I love goggle.


Boy's Nation delegate Bill Clinton, left, shakes hands with President John F. Kennedy, June 6, 1963.

2. I love that photo. Eerie.

I also think any photos of Elian Gonzalez shaking Fidel Castro's hand will be similar, historically.

3. Bill's whole career, for better or worse,

was built on that photo.

5. it is good to have hero's to look up to. Will anyone look up to George?

8. Unfortunately, there probably will be someone

just as he (or whoever is guiding him) looked up to Nixon.

4. the eyes

I wish we could see JFK's eyes. Clinton's face says so much.

Thanks for posting this, Omaha Steve. It's a nice way to start the day.

Now if I can just avoid a photo of the dummy today...

7. That's an incredible (and quite historic) picture...

I can't recall any picture showing two presidents (whose administrations started 32 years apart) together, when one was a teenage boy! Perhaps one exists of TR and FDR, but I don't remember seeing it.

10. Changing of the guard?!

Bill is NOTHING like JFK! Don't fool yourself.

11. Amen...

I met both men, and what you say is spot-on.

12. I'm so jealous

Tell us about both meetings please.

13. So much irony there

I betcha JFK wouldn't have ever thought that the boy he was shaking hands with would someday summons the U.S. Navy to find his son (JFK., Jr.) in the sea after a plane crash.

14. I was on Martha's Vineyard that fateful weekend

My first visit and looking forward to a lovely family vacation. I took my grandbaby outside to see the Coast Guard helicopter flying over, not realizing what had happened...
