The JFK who used a nonexistent 'missile gap' as a campaign issue? That JFK? Not as much of a leftist as you would think. Right of centre on many issues (much more than most at DU would be comfortable with, I suspect), and a hard-nosed pragmatist and practitioner of hardball realpolitik. One suspects that a JFK in the White House would not be doing a lot of things in a noticebly different manner to Obama, and would be eliciting just as many howls of frustration from ideological purists.
