I never knew LBJ was so crass....

[graham4anything]

26. LBJ did what the Kennedy's talked about, but NEVER did or were going to do-Civil rights

eisenhower started the war
JFK escalated what Eisenhower started
JFK hired Bob McNamara, therefore JFK would have done 100% what LBJ did in Vietnam

Very easy to admire someone who died young and did not actually have to have a long record of accomplishment

but know one thing, 100% truth

JFK and RFK wiretapped Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Americans were idiots to sell LBJ down the river in 1968, because LBJ would have beaten Richard Nixon.
and bobby would have then run in 1972.
Again, very easy to love JFK and RFK because they were symbols.

LBJ did what others only dreamed of.
Without Lincoln and FDR and LBJ there would be NO President Barack Obama.

and JFK knew Bobby wanted to be President.
In what realistic world do you think JFK would have spent his capital and Bobby's political future going after something so hard, so impossible, just with the George Wallace democratic section itself?
He wouldn't have done it.

It is why Ted Kennedy is actually the best Kennedy there was.
He stuck around for 40 years in the Senate.

LBJ might have been tough and to some unpleasant, but he knew how to get things done.
WIsh President Obama had an LBJ in the senate, but Teddy died, and other senior senators seem to want other jobs and not be senator or are just weak themselves.
Maybe Elizabeth Warren can become the new LBJ.

But I myself wish he ran in 1968, and beat Nixon.
Which would have meant
NO Ronald Reagan
NO Gerald Ford
NO George Bush41
NO George Bush43
NO Jeb Bush running in 2016 to be 45.

LBJ was the man! He would be on the side of President Obama today.
All the way with LBJ!
