Emily Totten - The President Calling

For this assignment, I listened to John F. Kennedy's broadcast about the Mississippi Crisis. I think that the president did make the right call dealing with Gov. Barnett, as he as refusing to obey an order from the Supreme Court and said that Mississippi's law overruled the Congress and Supreme Court. Pres. Kennedy was very formal and polite with Gov. Barnett and did his best to persuade him but Go.v Barnett was stubborn. Possibly one of things that Pres. Kennedy could have done was take Gov. Barnett out of office but that would have been too extreme for the circumstances and might have caused more trouble. I think Pres. Kennedy made the right decision and I am glad that he was concerned for the student and his welfare.
