Okay, but he was far superior to anything the Democrats have come up with lately.
And, thus, I give him credit for being a mediocre president, roughly on the same level as Harry S. Truman, who was probably the second best Democrat to occupy the Oval Office in the last century.
Some conservatives might rank him higher than JFK. But I'd have to say that the loss of China was a far more serious blunder than the Bay of Pigs.
So, yeah, JFK is the best Democrat to serve in the Oval Office in the last century. But its a pretty low bar.
