20. Oh, bullshit
I think you're the one who's tried to say that before.

The Great Society and the Civil Rights Acts were NOT the work of Kennedy. JFK didn't have the nerve or the interest in civil rights legislation to push it through Congress. LBJ (who knew where the bodies were buried) did. Eisenhower did more for the advancement of civil rights issues than Kennedy did, for heaven's sake.

JFK was not a bad man by any means, and LBJ certainly wasn't perfect. But give credit where it is due.
