Johnson Speech Andrews Air Force base Nov. 22 1963

Nixon joked on TV: "Lyndon never likes to be second".

[ChristianHolloway7]

just 2 days b4 jfk made a joke about him and lbj. and u could see in lbj's face that he knew jfk was gona get killed. poor jfk. fuck you america

[fuhrerlau]

Lyndon B Johnson should be stripped off all the credits he claimed as the president of america. He should be exhumed from his grave and dumped into the Indian ocean and be fed to the sharks.Disgraceful piece of history for the USA and the world.

[TheTweeter53]

I was so proud of LBJ the way that he immediately took charge of this nation. He was a born leader. I know that many of the Kennedy people didn't like him, but that was their problem, not his. RIP LBJ, and thank you for all that you did in leading our nation.

[billyguns2]

Woodrow Wilson sold us out and paved the way for this monstrous coup d'etat of the entire U.S. Republic; the duped Eisenhower warned us and Kennedy paid the price. It was part a long and well organized plan for the corporate rulers to take over the world. If none of you can see this, I urge you to open your eyes and do some research.

[GTarcisius006]

The hostile takeover of the US govt...very sad.

[grettoz]

the kennedys suffered enough that day, they justwanted jfk away from it all

[pookerville]

President Johnson was really pissed off when Jackie & Robert Kennedy scotted off! He sure was upset!! I don't blame him!

[TheTweeter53]

@pookerville I don't think that he was pissed off at Jackie. You had to cut her some slack. She'd been through an absolutely horrible experience. But Bobby was another story. His behavior towards LBJ was boorish, mean, and cruel. It would have been a nice image if LBJ and Jackie had come down the steps of the plane holding hands. However, I'm sure Bobby would have had a fit! Bobby really loved Jackie. LBJ had every right to be pissed off. The Kennedy people treated him like dirt.

[LongLiveOx]

@TheTweeter53 - BOBBY'S behavior was boorish, mean, and cruel? LOL. Look up boorish in the dictionary, and you'll find LBJ's face. Yes, we were so blessed to have the tremendous leadership of Johnson, who sent more young people off to war than any president in history, and whom many people believe, helped plan JFK and RFK's murders. I don't think it's a coincidence that LBJ was dead in 10 years after he slayed himself the presidency. Perhaps the old bastard finally had an attack of conscience.

[LongLiveOx]

@pookerville - Yeah, I'm sure Jackie really wanted to stand there in front of everybody, in her blood drenched suit.

[TheTweeter53]

You have to admire how LBJ took charge on this day. He was a born leader, actually much more so than JFK, who LBJ often referred to as "The Boy." Our nation was so blessed to have a leader like LBJ assume the awesome burdens of the Presidency. JFK's best decision was to pick him as VP.

[grettoz]

@TheTweeter53

kennedy was more statesman like than lbj any day...

[dgc011757]

oh yes a born leader and a pathological liar... between him and John McNamara they constructed "The Fog of War" ... the use of confusion to fight of the spread of Communism... Read McNamara's Book... somewhat of a confession.... wake up you are still confused!

[TheTweeter53]

The female doing the commentary on this video is the late Nancy Dickerson. In those days, women didn't even get their name mentioned on air.  It was totally a man's world. Times have changed, I think for the better.

[jacobji5]

Ruby knew what he was saying on video when he accused LBJ as being one of the main participants in the assassination.

-

The mistress also chimed in and said the same thing.

[LoneGunNut]

1916jutland-what's your source for Ruby's alledged statement LBJ did it?

Doppelganger339-documents are regularly classified for long periods of time to protect undercover assets, intelligence collection methods, etc.

While the Warren Commission was a little sloppy at times, it got it right. Read Case Closed, Conspiracy of One, or Reclaiming History.

[gotch09]

By all accounts Mr. Johnson had all the conscience of a snake. And the heart of one too.

[1916jutland]

Jack Ruby said LBJ was the mastermind behind the assassination.The day Oswald was arrested, LBJ sends Connely's suite to the cleaners, the Limo is sent to Detroit withing 24 hours and rebuilt, JFK's things are put in the rain the next day, LBJ fires Ms. LIncoln at 9AM, he establishes the Warren Commission on Nov. 29 to head off a Congressional Investigation, on the next day he calls Dallas Chief Curry and says, "You have your man, wrap up the case." That's before hardly any evidence is found.

[grettoz]

@1916jutland

president kennedys things were not put out in the rain, they were national archive items & were treated as such...

[nursesteve2004]

President Johnson has been unjustly villified in many years as being insensitive and "in a hurry" to get rid of JFK's remaining presence at the White House. The fact is that he was "in hiding" at the insistence of the Secret Service, who feared that the assassination was a plot to take down the entire American Executive Branch. Both the President and the Vice President were in the same motorcade, a huge security risk, the heads of the Cabinet were on a plane enroute to Japan..

[nursesteve2004]

I was all of 10 years old at the time of the assassination of JFK......it was not till I watched President Johnson speak at Andrews on arrival that it really hit me, the depth of the traagedy that had just happened. This speech is one of the few moments of that day that I can recall with absolute clarity watching live as it happened.........teaars are flowing as I am writing this, that is how it still affects me so many years later.

[blackngoldgal65]

We will probably never know for sure exactly what took place on November 22, except that President Kennedy was assassinated. I was a teenager during the time. It was both frightening and exciting with the mysterious element always lurking about.

[TheTweeter53]

@blackngoldgal65 I think we pretty much know. Lee Oswald went up to the Sixth floor window, and got off 3 shots. The 1st missed, the 2nd hit both JFK and the Gov, the 3rd hit JFK in the head, killing him instantly. What more need we know?

[core2duo07]

You were probably the last one to join the enlightened. Sure as hell LBJ killed JFK. Case really and truly closed.

[core2duo07]

Murderer.

[huckstered]

Your erudite eloquence is overwhelming. I am completely convinced now..

[EnoAmbient4]

Oswald did it on his own, pure and simple.

But it was worth reading all the conspiracy comments to find the one where Kennedy would never have allowed the silver to be taken out of our coins. That is, by far, the nuttiest motive for assassination I have ever seen.

John F. Kennedy - Preserver of America's Coinage.

[fedexhome]

You must have been part of the Warren Commission

[EnoAmbient4]

Dang! You caught me, man. I am indeed a Warren Commission "dis-information specialist".

I am proud to say that I am the youngest ever Commission member. I was 7 at the time of the investigation.

Why...answer me this...why do you conspiracy wonks always assume that a reasonable human HAS to be "in" on the conspiracy by expressing anti-conspiracy views.

I hear they have pretty good treatments these days for uncontrollable paranoia.

See your doctor for treatment options.

[Doppelganger399]

I`m on a search for any warren supporter who can explain why the records were locked away in some cases for 75 years.

[PC3900]

They've all been released now - by act of Congress in 1992. And they show - nothing.

[themeaningoflife38]

LBJ was the DEVIL

[koalashooter1]

i was born at andrews airforce base. idk but i think i remember when i was born... strange memory but i love when i see something famous happening at a place ive been to

[steveforsane]

President Johnson is one of better presidents. He had nothing to do with Kennedy's death. It was the mafia, who Robert & President Kennedy had a relationship with. Which backfired and they murdered Kennedy. Some say Castro and the exiled Cubans did it??? Who knows, it wasn't Johnson, you fools. He discovered that President Kennedy had Diem murdered, tried to murder Castro-They got him, first.

[Keri1131982]

I Agree With You Very Strongly. Keri Nowling, Formerly Of Austin, Texas, Now Residing In Seymour, Indiana.

[bjr43]

You people have been watching JFK one to many times, LBJ had nothing to do with Kennedy's death. I'm going with the Warren Commission.

[themeaningoflife38]

LBJ was a corrupt & dirty stone cold killer

[Southerner2009]

No He Wasn't, He Was A Loving Husband

, Father,And Grandfather To His Wife Lady Bird Johnson, Daughters Lynda Bird Johnson And Luci Baines Johnson, And Grandchildren To His Four Young Grandchildren, Patrick Lyndon Nugent, Lucinda Desha Robb, Nicole Marie Nugent, And Catherine Lewis Robb, And Devoted Father - In - Law To Charles Spittal Robb And Patrick John Nugent. Keri Nowling, Formerly Of Austin, Texas, Now Residing In Seymour, Indiana.

[gotch09]

Mr. Johnson would have screwed a snake if somebody would have held it's head for him. So much for his "love" for Lady Bird.

[stevenstreets3]

It was worth it to the people who took the silver out of our coinage the very next year.JFK never would have allowed that nor the deliberate mismanagement of vietnam alla Bush in iraq. Paper dollars are soaked in GI blood.Read US constitution Article One sections 8 and 10. Vengence for the Wexford boy!

[mastshke]

johnson received the position of power he wanted. but was it worth it?

[mastshke]

in the william shakespears"Macbeth" banquo says

Thou hast it now: King, Cawdor, Glamis, all, As the weird women promised, and I fear Thou play'dst most foully for't; "

this sums it all up.

[andry88k]

hear no evil !!! LBJ did it and knew about it

[kert8]

murderer!!!!!!!

[JesusHitlerBillyBob]

murderer? Hell Yes! Your Jealous!

[gotch09]

Where in the flyin',cryin' hell did you come up with a name like "JesusHitlerBillyBob"?
