I'm not arguing that Kennedy did a great job with the CMC. I'm arguing whether he was, as you put it, tied for the Greatest President Evah award.

In short, he's not. There are several Presidents that were far more influential and did far more for this country than JFK. The first three, for example. Washington somehow held this country together when they were little more than 13 rebellious colonies. Adams prevented a war with Britain. Jefferson, well, he's just a bad-ass.

I'd put Teddy Roosevelt up there too... way ahead of JFK.

If you poll historical scholars and political science experts.... Kennedy tends to rank in the middle teens.
