How did John F. Kennedy inspire people?

Answer 1

He was the first and only Irish Catholic president--which fact was no doubt inspirational to Irish Catholics and likely other Catholics. He was young and a dynamic speaker who seemed to be in the prime of life- he seemed to be the kind of person who could get things done and push through some of the social programs advocated by his party-- this fact inspired the potential benefactors from these programs.

until Kennedy none had gained the national acceptance needed to be elected President.
