Congress passed Civil Rights. Kennedy could've and would've. And as if that outclasses any of his atrocities.

Wilson "passed" women's suffrage. Is he a great president?

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 would not have passed in the form it did without LBJ.  He was the only President skilled enough to ensure that it was not watered down to a meaningless bill.

And yes, Wilson was a great President.

Kennedy was not as committed to Civil Rights as Johnson, or as his brother became.

To me, it's more about the fact that LBJ was the most skilled politician we've ever had.  Kennedy was committed, but he just would not have been able to do what LBJ did.  See what Johnson was able to do with Everett Dirksen; JFK would've been unable to do that.
