Why Is President Kennedy A Bad President

President took office in January of 1961 and was assassinated in Dallas in the year of 1963. There are many things he left behind him though after his assassination. Many of the policies and such left behind from him and his administration are remembered as possibly one of the greatest presidency’s even in such a short term. However, when compared to previous presidents that were assassinated and the legacy that they have left previously. Kennedy had a lasting impression to present day through the good and bad. Many things were hidden in the walls of the White House. Was he a terrible president with just a few very good things that overshadowed everything? President Kennedy and the First lady Jackie were in a way like President Franklin

His first was the creation of the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps was one of his plans when going through the election and he followed through with it . This was another idea of containment that would send willing civilians to foreign countries to help less privileged countries with whatever else they may need.

A promise Kennedy made while running for president was the fact that he would put a man in space during his presidency, this could have been something good just

This was a factor of the Iron Curtain over East Berlin that was controlled by the Soviets. Plus this is what Khrushchev was so set on fighting for and keeping in communist possession. This issue also just magnified the severity of the Cold War during this era. President Kennedy was also big in racial matters and ending segregation. In 1962 the Supreme Court stated it was unconstitutional to keep public transportation segregated.

One of the scariest things for America throughout its history was the Cuban Missile Crisis. One of the issues to start this was the fact that Cuba was a communist state. Also, in February of 1962 he ended all trade with Cuba which still stands today. On October 16th President Kennedy was informed of the missiles being placed in Cuba from the Soviet Union. Six days later, October 22nd Kennedy Informed the United States public about the issue.

My fellow Americans, with a heavy heart, and in necessary fulfillment of my oath of office, I have ordered -- and the United States Air Force has now carried out -- military operations with conventional weapons only, to remove a major nuclear weapons build-up from the soil of
