JFK brought several things to the office. He was the first Catholic president and the first candidate to have a debate on TV. The debate between him and Nixon changed American politics forever. He made his brother Attorney General and together they began to break up of the mafia in the United States and this changed how unions were organized as well as business in the United States. The way he handled the Cuban Missile Crises was very important. The country was close to atomic war. Our view of Cuba are still affected by this event and the Getmo base was acquired in this time frame. JFK pushed the country into the "race to the moon" and to develop a space program. The Russian's had all ready sent a satellite into space in 1957. The outcome of the US space program are computers and other technology we use today.So, he did affect us.
