Kennedy solely for the space program, as both had horrible foreign policies.

Eisenhower was more of a coward on civil rights than Kennedy was.  JFK eventually reacted swiftly and passionately after the violence in Birmingham.  While Ike was forced intervene in Little Rock, his heart didn't seem to be into civil rights, and he even refused to meet with the mother of Emmett Till.

He waited until the last possible moment, though. Really, if were factoring civil rights, every president after Hayes and before LBJ was totally ineffective.
