Lyndon Baines Johnson was the BEST President in my lifetime.

[Laelth]

In exchange for his long, nasty war he got Medicare; Medicaid; federal funding for education including creation of the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Public Broadcasting Act; the Revenue Act of 1964; the Economic Opportunity Act; Legal Aid; the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the Voting Rights Act of 1965; plus a lot, lot more.

Ask yourself this: what has Obama gotten in exchange for his long, nasty war (Afghanistan, which he now owns) and all the rest of his concessions to the right?

To those of us who are liberal, politically, it is absurd to call Barack Obama the "best President ever," and to liberals over the age of 42, it is equally absurd to call Barack Obama the "best President in our lifetime."

For your consideration.
