grace stoyshich-president calling

well i must say that history is not my best subject which is why im taking this class. i listened to the recording and personally understood about 40 % of it. i really learned to respect kennedy and his decisions i think it was really honorable of him that he called and asked eisenhower for advice on the cuban missile crisis. i think the idea of listening to these recordings and it being open to the public is an excellent. i think for people like me that are not from the USA and dont have much knowledge on US history that this would be something useful and informational to listen to. i learned alot from the recordings and i believe that kennedy was a great president and that he wasnt perfect but he always trie dto make decisions that would help the people of the united states. i thought it was crazy for Nixon to say that he was happier to hear Kennedy's voice than jesus's lol kinda blew me away that he would say that, maybe he wasn't very religious or maybe it was just a bad joke. anyway i did enjoy the tapes. i had to listen closely and i look forward to learning more about it.
