I would say JFK was average. Yes he was handsome, but he came off as a lightweight--almost like a celebrity PLAYING the role of President, but not actually being President. Certainly he like a light weight playboy when compared with his immediate predecessors and successors--Ike, LBJ and Nixon all seemed much more Presidential and had a lot of gravitas.
I like ladies, so I don't know if he was handsome or not. From what I have read, he was, yes. But have you read any of his speeches? They put Obama's when he was at his peak and Reagan's to shame. A consummate statesman JFK was, appealing always to our best.
LBJ and Nixon were awful. The "Great Society" does not give them a pass for the unmitigated, uncompromising, unchecked corruption and war-loving. I think those guys' brains orgasmed when they thought about war.
What about giving war a chance?
It's my way of being a smartass towards the left.
