If you turn the sound off, his body language shows hardly any emotion at all. His forehead doesn't even show signs of emotion. He occasionally makes moves backwards, which shows he doesn't believe, or doesn't give credibility to what he is saying.
let me say that even though i am a republican (albeit a log cabin republican), i MUST say that i think that president johnson handled himself VERY WELL during the first year and a half after president kennedy's assasination. one should read the book the kennedy assasination: 24 hours after in order to see how well of a job he did in the first 24 hours as well as the first year and a half of his presidency. this is high praise coming from a lifelong republican (have been since 1980).
Actually the tension was largely a creation of the media, LBj thought JFK was too inexperienced at first to be president (similar to Joe Biden and Barack Obama) but he still had great respect for him and he was fiercely loyal as VP. He genuinely liked JFK during the 1950's, but he just thought that due to his accomplishments their roles should've been reversed.

@number1kinksfan You have no understanding of the different era, men weren't supposed to show any emotion, especially Johnson's generation.

Johnson civil rights bill and school bills are overshadowed by his involvement in the JFK assassnation plot.
Johnson was a animal as Bobby Kennedy called him.

Johnsons greatest accomplishment was being a killer.
The evidence is there for even an Culo like you to see.

In view of what we know now about the tension between LBJ &JFK,one wonders if Johnson meant what he said in his opening remarks.
