He's still going to be the best president the US has seen since Kennedy.

Huh? Kennedy was good? And there hasn't been better since? What about that guy who replaced him who probably was the only man in his era powerful enought to make Civil Rights legislation happen (you could argue that LBJ's escalation of Vietnam tarnishes his legacy somewhat, but by passing the Civil Rights Act he accomplished a hell of a lot more than Kennedy). Also, Reagan's destruction of the Soviet Bloc was a pretty big accomplishment as well. Clinton also did more than Kennedy. What did Kennedy do?
