That's an interesting question because JFK was more conservative than Lyndon Johnson who was a terrible president and brought about more entitlements in his tenure something I don't believe JFK would have done. The democrat party became the liberal party it is today with Johnson. Also I wonder how JFK would have handled Vietnam he was a war hawk who was all in at the time.

LBJ fukked up because he tried to bring a touch of socialism to America while fighting a war. JFK was more conservative but dont act like thats a good thing. He was down with Americans being world police. The Bay of Pigs invasion and American missiles being placed in Italy caused the Cuban missile crisis. If Khrushchev was as evil as a Commie as America thought he was, we would all be fukked. He would have went it Vietnam like LBJ did and we would have gotten the same result. JFK however would have passed a water down CR bill, if that at all.

JFK was the Obama of 60s: Foreign policy game on lock, domestic policies..."are you sure you're a liberal:what:" He didnt know how to win over Congressmen too.

I would not consider him a good pres even now. The only real good thing he did was go after the american mob.
