I voted* for JFK because of his vision, he supported:
1. Civil rights, social and political justice for everyone regardless of race, religion, or creed
2. NASA, which encourage a technological revolution from which the US is still benefitting
3. Peace Core
Somehow my vote went to Clinton

JFK - Marilyn Monroe
Clinton - Lewinsky (has anyone seen photos of her recently?)
Clearly JFK was the better president.
On a more serious note, Clinton didn't have a test of his leadership and decisionmaking nearly as difficult as the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Yea, Bosnia/Kosovo where not worth mentioning, especially when the focus was on a Starr inquistion.
Reducing the top marginal tax raxes from 90% to 75% probably helped a great deal. Dont know why he gave all those rich people such a big tax break.

How taxing works is, you pay X percent for the 1st $15k, X percent for the next $15k, X Percent for the next 15k. Etc. Once over $XXX,XXX you would pay 90% of the remaining income. Plenty of people paid the top marginal tax rate at the time. Now was it 90% of their income? No.

Bosnia/Kosovo. Going against the UN, making claims that later turned out to be false. When it comes to highlighting postive leadership and decisionmaking, it's not anymore worthy of mention than Bush's Iraq War.

I like it how all you big mouthed right wingers like to speak for John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
If he were alive today, he'd be the same damn thing he was his entire life up until the moment he was shot to death in Dallas, a Liberal Goddamned Democrat, just like BOTH of his brothers!! :|
His term in office, and his terms in the Senate just dont support that claim. You can say that his role in racial issues makes him a liberal democrat, but it doesnt. Now if he lived(even if he wasnt assisinated he would not have lived to see the '70s), he would have had to of changed his views radically to meet todays standard of being a liberal democrat. There were more liberal republicans back then, who stayed republican, when the parties basically flipped on issues over the next two decades.
In any event, both he and clinton are over rated presidents. We haven't had a decent president in the past ~60 years.
