He got us involved in a nasty war in Vietnam, botched the Bay of Pigs invasion, allowed our enemies to bring nuclear weapons into our hemisphere and to aim them at U.S. cities, took us to the brink of nuclear annihilation with the Soviet Union, was so inexperienced in matters of foreign policy that a boorish Nikita Kruschev bullied and embarrassed him at every turn, and was so inexperienced politically that he had no allies to pass any of his domestic policies (it wasn't until he was assassinated by a communist sympathizer -- which is pretty hard to do if you're a Democrat -- and his VP Johnson took over the office, that any of his programs were passed. Be careful what you wish for.

I remember another US Democrat President, 'Peanuts ' Carter, who was leading the USA to the pits at the same time as the Labour wallahs, Wilson and Callaghan, were wrecking the UK economy.
Fortunately, the good Lord intervened and sent Ronald Reagan and Margeret Thatcher to the rescue.
