Today's protocol has Presidents - former and current - refer to each other (in private) by their first names. But in the 1960's both Kennedy and Johnson honored Truman by calling him "Mr. President". Eisenhower preferred to be called "General".
@RRNYC1998 BS "entitlement debt", nor deficit spending, and high taxes did create the current economy train wreck. Didn't create the S&, Enron & Worldcomm debacles. All where caused by persons in the financial sector. In others word created by capitalists, the same group that have always played a huge role in every economic crisis in the USA ever since the Constitution was ratified.
Pity LBJ is remembered for Vietnam (which admittedly was a dreadful mistake) and not for giving things like giving America its two biggest civil rights laws ever, Medicare, and the Great Society. He was indeed a politician through and through but he did seek to use the power he'd been granted to make his fellow American's lives better.
wow that was weird listening to them talking about meeting for lunch. I dont know why it was weird it just was. These LBJ tapes are great, though I do wonder if any of his friends knew he was taping their calls as well as the real important political ones.
@ghostfaced1 Of course they knew the phone calls. The LBJ Administration was the one that introduced the practice, with AG RFK suggesting it. At that time it was legal for them to destroy recordings they didn't want in the archives. We aren't going to hear anything LBJ didn't want us to hear.
liseing to this brings into my mind that we consider nixon;s recordings of conversations to have been criminal. remember this was prior to unknowingly taping someone being a crime decades later. nixon's crime was... he happened to record his knowledge of a crime, covering it up and possibly bribery and obstrution of justice related to this crime. in my opinion, nixon did not order the break-in but was involved in the obstrution. that was his crime...not the taping itself.
@BettyVanSneeIV FORMER President. To call the "President" is a formality, one even LBJ used here. At this point in time both men where relics of US politics, knew each other well & probably had their personal dance they danced.
These were the days I lived that takes me back to an era that lthough mared by war at home and abroad, there was a great change with conservative democtrats and republicans. Such an exciting time in Amerca full of possibilies in making Amerca strong.
@1958Antimatter But I do. We have no control over what others choose to do, but we have absolute control over what we choose to do & will be judged by what we choose to do In war against terrorism the US is choosing to use terrorism Those innocents so affected will use that judgement to decide to what degree the can support the US. The list is to long to get into .5K characters.
I just LOVE Truman, what a great down to earht honest guy. I'm a Republican, but I wish we had ANY Democrat like him now. He was one tough SOB and amde soem of the biggest decisions that still shaped our entire world. If Obama were half as good as Truman, he'd get a lot further. We're damn lucky FDR wound up picking Truman for VP.
@RJY4356 Strangely in 1944 FDR wanted to keep Wallace, the socialist, on the ticket, but the Democratic party was able to outmaneuver the dying old man and pick Truman. FDR only spoke face to face with Truman twice before his death. Truman had no knowledge before FDR's death of the Manhattan Project. Essentially Truman was kept in the dark.
@RJY4356 New Deal, liberal Democrats thought that Truman was a haberdasher (hat seller) and a mule farmer from Missouri. They looked upon him with disdain, because he wasn't an East Coast intellectual like FDR had been.
@ebonics4everyone i TOTALLY agree with you on that particular observation. the same thing could be said in regards to how the kennedy camp felt towards lbjohnson both during his tenure as vp as well as after he became president.
@RJY4356 Also, FDR felt as many Republicans like Thomas Dewey did that Truman was personally corrupt for being associated with the Pendergast machine in Kansas City, Missouri. Tom Pendergast, however, had delegated Truman control of the Eastern half of Jackson County, which includes Independence and, at the time, was largely rural. Pendergast wanted honest men like Truman around him to give his machine an illusion of authenticity. Truman was allowed to run Eastern Jackson County honestly.
@mc0558 For sure! almost as if it was out of a movie or tv script. Gotta love LBJ's accent, and wheelin n dealing talk, and Truman's genuine 'reverence' he always showed to the Presidency.
@Jacklgf No doubt huh! LBJ was a real piece of SH*T who was the biggest usurper the United States has ever had. He killed Kennedy and I think he had a knowledge or hand in RFK and MLK's deaths too. Although at the end of his life I think it was catching up to him and he was deeply haunted by those ghosts.
I see something like this endorsed by 11 people and I wonder to myself why, if you can see this, do the American people vote for the likes of the Bushes, Reagan, Nixon. Why aren't they grateful for the medical health bill Obama passed and the reform of Wall Street (most of which was in place under Truman and Johnson) to stop the larceny and the cheating? How can they appreciate the honesty of a man like Truman and not than of an honest man like Obama?
@Eric8542010 Yes, I know you are. I worded it hastily. Obviously what I meant are the millions who do vote for some of these retrogrades that have so frequently govern the U.S in the last 50 years.
@mc0558 Obama, honest? That bill has shades of LBJ's back door deals all over it. Search it up and you'll see. ie. Insurance, health care industry basically writing the law that's supposed to 'govern' them.
@0manoscar Reagan introduced the regulatory climate that brought several financial crisis that evaporated the savings of Americans, and brought use the current financial train wreck.

@bonfirejovi Given you viewpoint in the historic pantheon, I can see your point. Given the body count from 1938 to 1945, I think history will bear Truman out. Was the A bomb infliction racial? Probably. Was the desire to end the war by bringing Japan to its knees imperative? Definitely. I stand with Truman on this point, despite the horrific results.
@PRR5406 Yes but there wouldn't have been a Vietnam War hadn't it not been for Truman who forsook FDR's post-war foreign policy of decolonization. Instead, the U.S. funded 3/4 of France's doomed war in Vietnam and intervened itself. Vietnam was Truman's biggest mistake.
@Mujangga I agree, France are greedy, snooty, and fucking bastards. Plus Truman supported France because if America don't support France, France refused to have sit for NATO membership. Pity that France even pulled out of NATO in 1966, it's a damn waste for support them in the 1st place. Not to mention that France fricking asked us for help on their war in Libya. Which isn't our war to begin with.
@MrTomRogan What makes you think I haven't? What makes you think that I don't have a double Phd, one in History and one in American Studies and that I teach this subject? What makes you think that I may not know this topic FAR better than you? :)
@MrTomRogan This is YT, not an academic forum of my peers. You are a lay person. I've given my professional opinion already. I'm quite satisfied based upon my professional expertise in this field. Thanks!
@WhyMeMoFo The problem with this statement is that any true professional would not suggest that his opinion is 'professional' and thus inherently supreme above others. Truly professional opinions are those vested in articulated fact and conclusive argument. You have offered neither.
@MrTomRogan Once again, YOU ARE A LAY PERSON. And this is my field of expertise. I'm not trying to convince you of anything. Go find your own information, or don't. It matters not.
@karnman Perhaps your imagination was in part affected by the rhetoric that want us to assume certain things. I was in HS when Truman died, so I have personal recollections of how he sound in TV apperances
Truman was no accident - in spite of what he and others may have said. Ambassador Joe Kennedy and others were well aware of the precarious health of FDR and Truman was chosen with the full knowledged that he'd be the next Chief Executive. A wise choice indeed!
LBJ truly was an accidental president but - if you can overlook Vietnam ( a bit task ) was a strong, decisive and intelligent leader.
@byrdsss "When Lyndon arrived they all went into a conference room and you could just feel the atmosphere. When Lyndon came out... he was red in the face... he took my hand and said, 'Those god damned Kennedys will never embarrass me again. That's not a threat. That's a promise!'"
Lyndson B Johnson, one of our true and great democractic presidents..God Bless him for all he has done for country!! Since Tricky Dicky president, it has all been downhill for our country! We don't have presidents who think for our people anymore...If only Hillary Clinton had not been cheated out of the presidency?
Vietnam was a mess since Truman, Kennedy layed the groundwork for the mess.. His killing of Diem, set the stage to entrapped Johnson into the mess...Johnson was on his way on settling the war, until Tricky Dicty (Nixon) undermined the settlement with his promises to Thieu! Johnson was for the people..under his admistration, ALL AMericans benefitted. Remeber the times, The Red Scare, John Birchers, Soviet Empire, Goldwater extremistism..Yes, Johnson did an excellent job. Medical, voting rights
@steveforsane Cheated the fall back accusation of those whose candidate didn't win. Doubtful if HC could have won, if she did she would have hit the same wall Obama did.
LBJ was involved in MLK and RFK but the coverups were brilliantly, uh, executed. LBJ was also an immigration criminal, working with Teddy Kennedy to frame that infamous 1965 Immigration Reform Act which has dramatically changed the U.S., turning it into a third-world cesspool.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks to Johnson we have "press one for English, two for Spanish", MS13 gangs and Muslim terrorists plotting to kill us while we sleep. Thanks, Johnson, you fucking ahole. I hope the bribes and the women were worth it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Our good friends the politicians keep throwing us in the Pit and our response is to thank them and ask for more Hell . Thank you for the Latin Kings and Al Qaida in America, just to name two more out of the thousands. LBJ, Teddy K, and Ronald Reagan were the Trinity of Terror.
LBJ was one of your most colourful presidents. I don't want to knock Obama but he could sure learn a lot from LBJ's history on how to cajole congress and how to show courage.
Thousands died when Saddam was in power, thousands died in our civil war, thousands died in all wars, just or not. 58,000 men died in Vietnam and during that same time 800,000 people died in car wrecks in America. People die my friend, one way or another, and we have not gotten hit since 09/11. I hope Obama can say the same thing.
I agree. Why do they matter? They're only Iraqis. If we don't know them and if they don't look like us then who the fuck cares. People gotta die somehow. They were in the way.
i can only wish LBJ is getting fucked in the asshole by 1000 deamons and satan for killing almost 50,000 American soldiers. If I saw him today, I would peel his skin off like a catfish.
These idiots with the conspiracy theories are like the star-trek scabs, NO LIVES! All the books that were written about this shit was more than a money making scheme for the authors. They cashed in on Kennedy's murder. It was Oswald, sorry folks that's all there is!
Conspiracy theories are dumb. Theses are the same people that believes that the Landing on the Moon never happened or that the Holocaust never happened as well. What pitiful little people
a "snort" is not what you think. It has no drug connotation whatsoever... A "snort" was a two fingered drink in a low ball glass.. Both LBJ and Truman liked bourbon. A very typical reference to a lunch time cocktail.
LBJ was way beyond rowdy. This was our frst pure psychopath--LBJ. Truman wasn't much better: started Korean War and then refused to allow Mac to get after the Red Chinee Horde. These two paved the way for Nixon and Reagan: The Four Coarsemen of Evil.
"refused to allow Mac to get after the Red Chinee Horde"?....your grasp on history is incredibly childish.....and what should ole "Mac" have done after he "got after" those "Red Chinee Horde", eh?
The fact is, ah say the fact is, Mac wanted to nuke the "Red Chinee Horde." That why Truman 'nuked' Mac, as it were, but you already knew all of that, billy. You already knew that, mang. Instead of acknowledging what everyone knows, has always known, you thought it would be a good idea to go revisionist.
But Bugs Bunny said: "You can't do that stuff here, Doc."
@lumpagogo Mac was the psychopath, if he thought nuking the Chinese( your s key busted?) would go well. Nuking a former ally against Japan, and killing innocents in a country that never attack the US. At that time not nearly enough Americans support the Truman Doctrine to even have support in the US, despite their support of "Mac"
Red China was never our "ally," mang. Youze need to history up, youze follow? And we should have what Mac wanted, wasting Mao and the guys in their infancy.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LBJ was not above murder (he had his own sister killed). He was in on the assassination & he engineered the cover up. He had the most to gain & the most to lose because he was going to be dumped from the ticket in 1964 as a result of another justice department investigation into Bobby Baker's activities that would have exposed LBJ to a criminal indictment. JFK thought he could give up Texas as long as he could win California. The political battle turned into a blood feud.
What evidence do you have to back that up, you are nuts. Not the Kennedy stuff I have already heard ever stupid god damn conspiracy theory about that. I want to know the stuff about his sister, you are obviously making shit up.
I have never found the need to take advice from someone who has such a limited vocabulary that he would use vulgarity in order to compensate for his lack thereof.
Don't accuse Johnson of being a killer and then turn around and use the almighty God in the same sentence. Isaiah 58:9 "stop making false accusations and spreading vicious rumors".
They are accusations that have never been proven. They are alleged by a woman that said she had a 21 year affair with Lyndon Johnson. There is as much evidence to rationalize the idea that she's a cook as you've found to justify her correctness. Peace to you as well.
Right, that's all the "LBJ killed JFK" conspiracy nuts have as evidence, the word of some supposed mistress. There is NO real evidence that LBJ had anything to do with, the entire notion is preposterous. Most of the conspiracy nutjobs get their evidence from the one History channel "documentary" that was only aired once, and never again because it was full of lies, inaccuracies, and conjectures.
Have You Ever Seen The Graves Of President And Mrs. Lyndon Baines Johnson?, I Am Originally From Texas And A Native Daughter Of The State.Keri Nowling, Formerly Of Austin, Texas, Now Residing In Seymour, Indiana.
You are completely mistaken. I have a hunch that you are someone who is not for the little guy. Here was someone who was very kind to the poor and championed education. So many seniors rely on Medicare- his program. Here's someone who didn't just stay within the party unlike today. Wilbur Mills didn't like the idea of Medicare, and he was a Dem. Johnson also sided with the Republicans in passing the Civil Rights Act. He was anything but a disaster. He was a blessing.
Two of the all-time greats.

@WhyMeMoFo The problem with this statement is that any true professional would not suggest that his opinion is 'professional' and thus inherently supreme above others. Truly professional opinions are those vested in articulated fact and conclusive argument. You have offered neither.

Truman was no accident - in spite of what he and others may have said. Ambassador Joe Kennedy and others were well aware of the precarious health of FDR and Truman was chosen with the full knowledged that he'd be the next Chief Executive. A wise choice indeed!
LBJ truly was an accidental president but - if you can overlook Vietnam ( a bit task ) was a strong, decisive and intelligent leader.

LBJ was involved in MLK and RFK but the coverups were brilliantly, uh, executed. LBJ was also an immigration criminal, working with Teddy Kennedy to frame that infamous 1965 Immigration Reform Act which has dramatically changed the U.S., turning it into a third-world cesspool.

a "snort" is not what you think. It has no drug connotation whatsoever... A "snort" was a two fingered drink in a low ball glass.. Both LBJ and Truman liked bourbon. A very typical reference to a lunch time cocktail.

Hi billy:
The fact is, ah say the fact is, Mac wanted to nuke the "Red Chinee Horde." That why Truman 'nuked' Mac, as it were, but you already knew all of that, billy. You already knew that, mang. Instead of acknowledging what everyone knows, has always known, you thought it would be a good idea to go revisionist.
But Bugs Bunny said: "You can't do that stuff here, Doc."
lumpagogo 2 years ago
@lumpagogo Mac was the psychopath, if he thought nuking the Chinese( your s key busted?) would go well. Nuking a former ally against Japan, and killing innocents in a country that never attack the US. At that time not nearly enough Americans support the Truman Doctrine to even have support in the US, despite their support of "Mac"

LBJ was not above murder (he had his own sister killed). He was in on the assassination & he engineered the cover up. He had the most to gain & the most to lose because he was going to be dumped from the ticket in 1964 as a result of another justice department investigation into Bobby Baker's activities that would have exposed LBJ to a criminal indictment. JFK thought he could give up Texas as long as he could win California. The political battle turned into a blood feud.

You are completely mistaken. I have a hunch that you are someone who is not for the little guy. Here was someone who was very kind to the poor and championed education. So many seniors rely on Medicare- his program. Here's someone who didn't just stay within the party unlike today. Wilbur Mills didn't like the idea of Medicare, and he was a Dem. Johnson also sided with the Republicans in passing the Civil Rights Act. He was anything but a disaster. He was a blessing.
