Its strange how people remember JFK's Presidency fondly, yet he never really achieved anything of any more significance than most Presidents.
im far from an expert on the subject, but i think history showed he faced more in 3 years than most two-term presidents.
more than Bush? more than Franklin D. Roosevelt?
within the ranking system that is impossible to judge? i'd rate it higher than bush, on a par with fdr. you're free to think otherwise, that's a much deeper subject to get into. still, even if you disagree, i think my original point holds.
but far and above that, his placement in office kick started an iconic shift that led to a prouder nation, as a whole.
you think that Vietnam was a proud time in the US internally and externally? you realize he escalated that right?
jfk's involvement and control with vietnam is also a much more involved discussion than just this thread.
i think it's also somewhat irrelevant to that specific point, which was more so meant to be a comparison of elections and shifts, rather than full campaigns and terms.
