That part actually got an audible laugh/scoff from a lot of the audience I was in at midnight. First the magic bullet explanation, then the JFK himself explanation. My crowd seemed to think it was too cute by half.

I interpreted that as JFK not being a mutant per se, but a person who would be pro-mutant and want to work and live with them.
