That's a fair comment. But some of them are more "not nicer" than others... if you know what I mean.
Let's take Lincoln. He wasn't perfect, but I don't believe he had a bad bone in his body. He certainly did not stomp all over people like Ford.
Kennedy, on the other hand, is often described as a great American, yet he was a liar, a philanderer and (some could argue) brought the world close to nuclear war.
Good and bad. Two sides of the same coin.
