Look at some of what JFK accomplished in less than three years in office:

Kept peace when almost all counseled war.

Put Main Street ahead of Wall Street.

Respect for Africans and respect for Asians -- not their former colonial masters -- in matters of war and peace, trade and policy.

Integrated White House Secret Service detail and ordered Justice Department to go after the Mafia.

Launched Project Apollo and got humanity to the moon.

If Stan can get even half of that accomplished, he'd be better than what we've had for a long time.
