JFK was mediocre at best.
That may be true, but he’s still the last good Democrat President.
I've come around on JFK. By today's low standards he'd be considered an arch-conservative member of congress. He was against communism, he didn't want to engage US military in places we don't belong or allow the CIA to engage in covert wars and assassinations worldwide, and for cutting taxes and he meant all of it and proved it. Find me some GOP member you truly trust... TRULY ... to actually support that now. They all say it but when it really matters 9 times out of 10 they shaft us , all of them.
JFK’s EO 10988, the one that gave government employees the right to unionize and engage in collective bargaining, is enough to ensure his infamy.
I was very surprised to learn that JFK’s push to land on the moon was really started inside NASA during the Eisenhower Admin.
The plans were already in place...JFK just took credit for it.
