LBJ is the best in the league.

Just an amazing President with all of the stuff above. Plus, an income tax cut that provided economic growth. My hero, and if only he were elected in 68, what more could have been done.

God Bless President Johnson, historians are starting to revise his standing upwards! He made America a more compassiate and just country.  All Americans benefited from his domestic legislation...Medical Care, Voting Rights, education, the conservation movement. He stopped the CIA murders of foreign leaders...Look what happened to America under Nixon!

[interstategar]

at 3:31 LJB's seals the deal with his co-muderers of JFK, the CIA, to continue the Vietnam War-his ultimate downfall.

[nakedbullwinkle]

Is is me or lbj's inauguration words seemed very sullen, low, almost hesitant...anyone else???

[rodni7777]

Ironic, Johnson was a tyrant

[huckstered]

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. LBJ was the diametric opposite of what you think.

Giving was what happened, not the

taking of power. To those who most needed it the most.

[hpmc8]

what a fucking prick, 'if lives be expended and treasure spent on countries we havent heard of'

this is what this POS has to say about vietnam?

may he burn in hell

[fromthesidelines]

Universal's newsreel was the last weekly U.S. theatrical newsreel in February 1965 {it was discontinued at the end of 1967}. For historical purposes, this footage of Johnson's inauguration is priceless- but more people saw better coverage of this on TV, two weeks earlier...and that's why Universal eventually ended their newsreel with "Volume 40, No. 52".

[Limecatisnotpleased]

The idea that LBJ would have killed JFK is not only despicable, it's laughable.

Lyndon Johnson hated a lot of people and a lot of people hated him. He didn't have to worry about it though because he was a master lobbyist. His clout within the party could have easily brought down the Kennedy administration without a shot being fired. If anything, thrusting him into the spotlight hurt him far more than it helped him.

[RELubber]

Hey Lime, laugh at this: explain Mac Wallace's fingerprints up in the sniper's nest on 11/22/63. Huh?

LBJ had JFK taken out before he was removed from office for taking bribes.

Wake up! The assasination was an inside job and LBJ orchestrated it.

[huckstered]

Wow! That explains it all. I am sooo

convinced now. It is as clear as anything.

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Lady Bird Johnson will always be a great example of courage and strength, and was there with her husband when America needed them the most.

She stood for all people and wanted equality for everyone.

Always caring and strong, Lady Bird Johnson will always be a first lady in our hearts.

We as a nation, will miss her.

My condolences to all the family of the Greatest First Lady that the USA has ever had! Lady Bird Johnson, you were the best! You were a Great Texan. You were a Great Gal! LBJ and I share the same birthday (August 27). He is my favorite president not only because we share the same birthdate, but because he was a Great President! Long Live The Great Society! Long Live The LBJs(Lady Bird & Lyndon Baines) I think this marriage was a perfect marriage. We will never see that again.

[Mayofour]

So true. The greatest on domestic policy. Relied far too heavily on hawks like Macnamara, Bundy, etc. They killed his presidency, thousands of our soldiers and with it The Great Society.

[dragondawgzz]

well there's a picture of him on air force one when he was being sworn in looking over at a guy that winked at him, also there were rumors that kennedey never consulted him for advice for like the missle crisis but instead consulted robert kennedey, also rumors were that kennedy was also going to drop johnson from the vice president for 1964

[aspie25]

If anyone could proof it they would have done so years ago.

[oneandatwo]

This was supposed to be the beginning of JFK's second term...  LBJ was part of the JFK assassination.

[jsmilla]

And what's your alibi, pal?

LBJ said "let us continue," and he did---enacting Kennedy's programs and his own. Accusing him of cutting down JFK's life is beneath contempt and sick.

[TGoodman]

I agree. Anyone who's taken the time and effort to seek out the truth will come to similar conclusions. Kennedy and Johnson hated each other.

[lewisdutton66]

what proof do you offer?

[redsoxfan5600]

Agreed. LBJ was a snake. He had a hand in the Kennedy assassination.

[bebopPete]

'We can't say that, Lyndon,' he said. 'It's not true.'

'Of course it's not,' Johnson barked at him, 'but let's make the bastard deny it.'

[waytooambitious]

He was a very great - and powerful - person who sought to declare war on poverty as no president before or since has. It is inspiring to hear and see him again. He was too complacent, however, in accepting the Pentagon reports on increased "success" in Vietnam.
