Very overrated.
Had it not been for the guns of Dealy Plaza, this guy would likely be placed in the same class of presidents as Taft, or Cleveland.
Possibly worse, given his love of intrigue and fascination with black ops.
There is no, repeat no, evidence he was contemplating serious withdrawal from Vietnam (a throw away sentence to a journalist isn't proof) and it is likely, had his cerebral cortex not wound up splattered over the trunk of his limo, that it is he, and not Johnson or Nixon who would be vilified for the war.
