I've said for some time that JFK was arguably the worst president of all time. Not necessarily all his fault, BTW -- but he served for less than three years and had zero long-standing accomplishments that can actually be attributed to his administration (as opposed to all the "JFK would have wanted this" nonsense that was passed during the Johnson administration).

That might make him (kennedy) poorly accomplished, but not the worst-

I can think of the moon landing and the Peace Corps, to name two. He also kept a nuclear threat out of Cuba. And popularized Ian Fleming! :-)

Agree with JFK.
Managed to accomplish Bay of Pigs, Vietnam, and the removal of our missles from Turkey, all in 3 short years. Camelot, my a$$.

I'm kinda neutral on JFK.

He stood up to the USSR/Cuba, made us The technology leader with the moon landing goal and gave a modest tax cut.

OTOH, he botched the Bay of Pigs badly, significantly escalated Vietnam, made the Cold War "colder", and with his infidelity he marked the beginning of a long string of truly horrible presidents that resulted in a lack of respect for the office of the President and government in general.
