Race relations is another one he gets the nod for. However, I don't think he deserves that much credit for the space thing. I mean, all it means is that he chose to fund scientists a lot more than presidents before. I think the scientists deserve a lot more credit than Kennedy.
I think starting Vietnam, however, counteracts all of that. Kennedy was a very aggressive president. I honestly think he would have turned Vietnam very large scale very quickly. Johnson sort of didn't know what the **** he was doing, and Nixon was just plain a crook more concerned about his own paranoid agenda.
Kennedy, however, seemed hellbent on taking on the Soviet Union. A war that patience won, not aggression like Kennedy was offering.
Also, I'm not saying he bribed his way into office. I'm saying he procured influence, and money, and power from his mob family which eventually assisted him in getting in office.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
