The Presidents Calling - Sean O'Halloran

I listened to the conversations between JFK and Governor Barnett of Mississippi regarding Merideth who was trying to attend the university of Ole Miss. I found it interesting how these conversations showed the colliding powers of the state and federal government. Although they were both callborating for a common goal, they had to do so while fulfilling the obligations of their branch of governement. I think Kennedy should have put more trust into the Governor in those situations instead of undermining his ability to resolve issues within his own state.
