A pretty-faced do-nothing. Seriously, JFK did nothing on civil rights until he was absolutely forced to, got us into Vietnam, and accomplished almost nothing of note. Why he is so revered by the American public is beyond me.
You're thinking of LBJ there, buck rodgers.
LBJ at least made significant progress on Civil Rights. Say what you will about Vietnam, the Voting Rights Act was a heck on an accomplishment, and I happen to support Medicaid.
Right, because Vietnam was such a small minor detail of his presidency. JFK may have not started out passionate about the issue, but towards the end of his life he truly believed in the cause, and would have fought for it even further had he not been killed. And let's not forget that JFK also fought for Healthcare for seniors. Combine this with the fact that LBJ was personally said to be extremely racist. Yeaaaaah...
