Looking back at my presidential career, I had to wear several "hats."  Wearing these different "hats," these were my most significant achievements and failures:

 

Commander-in-Chief

I was behind the Bay of Pigs, Berlin Wall, Laos, the Cuban Missle Crisis, Vietnam,and the space program. expanded the nuclear detterent force.

Chief Executive

I created the Peace Corpes and helped the Civil Rights Momevement

Chief Diplomat

Army force landed on Guatamela on the Bay of Pigs to overthrow Cuba's goverment; Fidel Castro but it was unfortuanly a complete disaster. When I found out the Soviets where creating nuclear bombs in Cuba, I created a blockadge for any shipments with weapons toward Cuba. In the end this missiles crisis ended peacefully. It did not always go so well in the invasion of South Vietnam which caused many deaths of American. In Latin America and in Third World countries I helped by nonmilitary aid to poor country and spread the truth about communism.

Ceremonial Head of State

I stopped the Soviet Union from their development of the Soviets missiles in Cuba, in exchange I stopped the blockage and I promised not to invade Cuba.

Manager of the Economy

Decreased imports so I increased taxes and I  helped to open many buisnesses

Party Leader

Focused on the poor, I also helped African-Americans in the US

National Leader

I promised the future of the space race and we did win!
