Domestic Program was on the whole good-a whole raft of civil rights bills were passed from housing to voting. Likewise his great society project, has to be praised including the expansion in social security. 

Foreign Policy however was awful

Terrible on everything but civil rights, and even the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was largely the product of Everett Dirksen rather than LBJ. He also voted against all civil rights acts prior to 1957 and watered the 1957 act down to almost nothing. One star.

Didn't Evertt Dirksen literally have to be dragged to the 1964 civil rights bill?
