But, already, Joe interests evolve. In the early 1930s, became one of the most active pillars of the New York Stock Exchange, he decided to turn to politics. Meaning of the common interest Of course, not! With a remarkable sense tactical, he understood that the crisis that erupted in 1929 and in which he lost a few feathers was ennobling policy and that power, real power, was now more in the White House to Wall Street. "For the next generation, the people in charge of public affairs which will hold the top of the keypad", he says so to a friend in 1930. The businessman decided to prepare, he and his family in this new paradigm and follow policy the same way as in cases: one that leads to the first places. Joe dream, at the time of the Presidency of the United States, for himself or at least one of his sons It is likely. For the time, good Democrat, is on Franklin Delano Roosevelt that he decides to gamble. Spending without counting, mobilizing its business networks and leveraging its ties to Hollywood and in the press, he played a significant role in the election of Roosevelt, in 1933, waiting in return for a position that will put her foot in the Stirrup.
The disappointment is cruel! Roosevelt, in effect, like little brutal man, who lags behind a sulphurous reputation. It would be well seen Treasury Secretary harvesting an appointment at the head of the all-new Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), to serve the stock market and where it leads to many intelligent reforms. But Joe wants more and ever-tanner President. For its part, Roosevelt does not want to exclude a man by his lack of scruples, which may be more dangerous outside and inside. Hence his decision to appoint Ambassador to the United Kingdom. Joe, his wife and their child arrived in London in 1938. This grandson of a "famine Irish", this appointment has a revenge of all. Received at the royal palace and in the best families of England, he became the new darling of the Londoners. But the honeymoon period lasts not! The war closer, Joe Kennedy in fact multiplies public statements for isolationism, even to an agreement with Hitler. Its objective is clear: become an active member of the isolationist movement America First, which enjoys an undeniable popularity in the United States, he intends to forge a national destiny, for access to the highest step of the podium. The operation fails. Disavowed, become persona non grata in Britain and weight in a low weight to Roosevelt, eventually be recalled in the United States in 1940.
Joe has now renounced all personal political ambition. A failure to play a leading role in national political life, this will be his son to wear high and strong colors of the clan. For years already, Joseph Patrick, Jr. enjoys a position to share in the family. Elder of a high sibling of almost military fashion, this brilliant student at Harvard became the number two undisputed tribe, just behind his father. In the early 1940s, he spends considerable sums for his future appointment to the position of Governor of Massachusetts, first step, believe, to the White House. Up to this tragic day of August 1944 where its hopes Flying shrapnel. Twenty-six years, following John Fitzgerald Kennedy forced to take his has a little dreams of his father. "I have decided to now remain in the shadows", says the old Joe to his relatives in 1945, aware of the deterioration of its image after the victory of the allies. In the shadows, the Patriarch will indeed remain, making true son campaign manager office. JFK owes in large part his election to the position of Senator in Massachusetts in 1952. And more to the Presidency of the United States, nine years later.
When JFK in 1960 his nomination in the Democratic Party, it was against him, in the primary, Hubert Humphrey, Lyndon b. Johnson and Adlai Stevenson. To override his rivals, he must win certain keys, such as Wisconsin and West Virginia States. This is where the old Joe. Its past, the Patriarch retained valuable links with the Mafia, and with Sam Giancana, former killer for hire of Al Capone, become the boss of the underworld in Chicago. Through Frank Sinatra, a friend of the family, whose links with organized crime is public knowledge, Joe passes an agreement with him: in several key States, the Mafia will be buying the votes of the delegates. Cost to the businessman aging more than 2 million. The terms of the agreement concluded with the Mafia still remain largely unknown. But everything suggests that Joe is committed, on behalf of his son, to let the Mafia continue its affairs in peace. A pact that the carelessness of break, Bob Kennedy, became Minister of Justice of JFK, perhaps explaining the assassination of President in 1963 and then his brother in 1968. It rolls not with impunity the Mafia.
The death of his two sons completing to kill Joe. In the aftermath of the attack of Dallas, the old patriarch had everything to convince Bobby to not take up the slack, suddenly becoming aware of the terrible curse that he had launched on its own. But it was too late. This is a terribly bitter and exhausted man who died in 1969.
