Will LBJ's reputation ever be rehabilitated?

[Rooney]

I honestly do not know why LBJ would not have a decent reputation. He meets all the needs of a great president. He massively increased the power of the collective state, increased surveillance of American citizens, introduced new programs for the government to spend billions on and sent American soldiers to die fighting a war. LBJ meets the Wilson, FDR and Truman test for a great president. Thus, LBJ and George W. Bush will BOTH be rehabilitated by historians and celebrated as "great" presidents. Those of you who desire LBJ to be enthroned in Roman robes like Washington and Lincoln will indeed be happy campers in the end.
