Comparing Bush to Johnson is ridiculous, the only similarity is that they are both from Texas. Johnson was a Washington insider, Senate Majority leader, great at compromising and producing a consensus.

True, but Johnson was tricked into Vietnam because of the Gulf of Tonkin. He didn't do a good job I agree, but I think he did about the best he could given the circumstances. He should have been more open with the public about it, though. The lack of communication was his downfall there.

Plus, I strongly support the Great Society. LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act and the creation of Medicare. The good he did greatly outweighs Vietnam.

The economy was pretty strong while he was in office, too, and he didn't run up big deficits in doing it.

Especially since Dean will endorse the Dem nominee.
