Easy Truman vote.

I'm not a huge fan of the guy but he at least had balls.  JFK's entire political career was about becoming President and Clinton's agenda was Bill Clinton.  Truman was a rather disliked son of a bitch while in office and it didn't seem to bother him that much.  I guess I kind of have an odd respect for that.

Korea was pretty awful though.

Well, Truman was a racist cockpunt, so that really only leaves JFK in the running.

Besides some quote from when he was like 20 years old or some sh*t living in the first couple of decades of the 20th century in freakin Missouri, what relevant citations do you have?

I'm not going to debate that the man was racist (let's be real honest here, most people who grew up before the 1930s probably held deeply racist views by today's standards), but what exactly qualifies him as a "racist cockpunt", which implies a degree bit more racist than "racist"?

Also relevant: http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/Harry_Truman_civil_rights.htm

It is quite clear he evolved on the issue.
