[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why was JFK good?
If he had not been killed, nobody would be singing his praises[/quote] nice hair...pretty wife...nastalgia for simpler times.  not really a great president but not a loser either.[/quote]

A huge loser as a human being.  His serial womanizing, lies about his health, JFK is the one who began the escalation of Viet Nam.  As an earlier PP noted, had he ot been assasinated, he would be on the list of the worst.

Johnson had to take the over JFK's mistakes in Viet Nam and Johnson is the one who got all the Civil Rights laws passed.  These laws were the most important legislation of the 30th century.

Carter is the ex-president who used his time to help with so many projects, e.g., Habitat for Humanity.

What did Reagan do that was good?  Why is he put on a pedestal?  After it was announced that he had /alzheimers, it was obvious why he did so many of the things he did.

I also think Gerald Ford should come under of the best while in office because by pardoning Nixon, he allowed the coever Nixon's country to get back on track with the Nixon impeachment and Watergate over.  Also, whatever Nixon's faults, he did open the door to relations with China.

I don't think Eisenhower belongs in either category.  Essentially his two terms were "Thank you" for winning WWII and he got to play golf for eight years at taxpayers expense.
