Anna Sandstrum - President Calling (Kennedy)

Throughout listening to Kennedy's calls, I came to the conclusion that his tactics as a politician, more specifically a negotiator, were quite impressive. When faced with racial issues and high tensions in Mississippi, he did what was necessary to keep everything calm without sending troops in even though the other side was conspiring against him. Kennedy seems to have a knack for keeping his calm throughout his presidency. In my opinion, this is an attribute needed to be a good negotiator and politician as he showed when faced with an issue.
