LBJ -- We Shall Overcome

Lyndon Baines Johnson was this nations Graetest President and should be on Mount Rushmore.

Lyndon B Johnson was a president with a vision and substance. His role in our recent country's history is pivotal! Unlike Kennedy who's major goal was his reelection and womanizing! Johnson helped create a stronger more ust America!

just.....

It's unfortunate that his vision also included Vietnam -- were it not for that, and had the Great Society succeeded, he could have had a legacy. Now we can only say what-if.

coffee...I don't know about that!! But for Johnson, there would be no Baraack Obama! But for Johnson, our country could still be stuck in the mire of racism..what if Goldwater and the extreme right wing had overcome...Vietnam, maybe Nuclear War and the end of civiliztion that we know!

Despite Vietnam, he was one of our best. Beautiful speech this man gave. A man of flaws, but was Lincoln popular during the Civil War? Truman with Korea? These men are now judged in a brighter light, and the same should go for LBJ, my man. We wouldn't see another great President like this until Clinton.

where can i find the full video?

I rank LBJ as the 5th greatest President behind Lincoln, Washington, FDR, and Clinton. And if there was no Vietnam, he probably would have won in 68, and who knows from there.

Diem was talking to Ho, discussing the possibility of declaring neutrality. DeGaulle was acting as the intermediary. The wanted to declare neutrality. Diem was dead set against US troops pouring into Vietnam and fighting a proxy war against the soviets in vietnam. JFK told Lodge to "hurry up with the coup before neutrality breaks out". Diem was killed, and DeGaulle left the country, saying "it looks like the US is determined to have its war."
