[Hoot Gibson]

My least favorite Republican is Nixon. Didn't like his handling of the Vietnam war, and of course Watergate.

My favorite dem...probably Kennedy. There were some things about him I didn't like but I agreed on him with more than most democrats lol.

Kennedy did some great things. Announcing a plan to land a man on the moon within 10 years showed that he had that "vision thing." I also like the fact that he proposed steep tax rate cuts that stimulated the economy, although he was assassinated before he could sign his plan into law.

OTOH, there was the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban missile crisis, which were foreign policy blunders of Kennedy's own making. Had he not died so young, Kennedy definitely had the potential to become a great president. Unlike Obama, he seemed to learn from his early mistakes in the White House - and he believed in the greatness of our economic and political systems.
