If 90 percent of Americans knew how badly Kennedy screwed up with Cuba alone, they might not be so kind to “Camelot”.

Still, he was a tax cutter and could never be nominated in today’s Democrat Party.

I think that ranking is pretty good. I may swap Reagan with JFK but both should be 1 or 2.

Reagan
JFK
Washington
Lincoln
Clinton
Bush I
Bush II
Obama
Carter (DEAD LAST)

I remember my old man once in disgust saying something about Kennedy. And then FDR in the next sentence.

“Dad! How can you say that? Kennedy was assassinated! And FDR won the war!”

My dad didn't say anything. (He was a WWII vet so knew about FDR, etc.) He hardly talked about politics or social conditions or whatever. I'm thinking now he wanted to “protect” me from the grownup world and just let me be a kid.

Years later I realized where the hatred of FDR and the Kennedys came from.
