Opinion of Lyndon Johnson

[justfollowingtheelections]

For me, the most fascinating presidential personality.
 
Epic FF for the passing of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Act. He did what was right, even though he was fully aware it would harm irreparably his party. And I agree with Hillary on that: it's because of him, more than anybody else, that Barack Obama sits in the Oval Office as we speak.

He botched Vietnam of course. But then again as one of my compatriots said ''Little men make little mistakes. Big men make big mistakes''.

P.S. Forgot to add the poll.

This I totally agree with.

Regardless of what you think of Johnson, whether he was a good or a bad president that made good or bad decisions, the question is was he a freedom fighter or not?  And one thing no one can accuse Johnson of is that he didn't fight for people's freedoms.

Everybody that hates Bush for Iraq and loves LBJ for anything is a joke.  You can place the death of millions at the feet of LBJ.  His list of "scandals" at wiki seems like it was hijacked from Nixon's page.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

But, but, but his civil rights record makes up for his racism, the millions of dead and the over throwing of democratically elected leaders in S.America.

One of the worst Presidents of all time....and an asshole to boot.

I wasn't aware of all this but it certainly doesn't sound good.
