  • One of the greatest Presidents/Statesmen in the history of the United States of America..

  • Amen! I rank him as the 5th best president in US History. Say what you want about Vietnam, yes it was a mistake. However, no President is perfect. I cannot imagine where we would be today without this man, and if only I could travel back in time, I would love to meet him

  • @Mayofour Tell me this is sarcasm. Ever read the Pentagon Papers?

  • his 1st official term in 64 i think the year was, was terrible. when he finished the reat of JFKs term thats when he did everything because it was JFKs doing. and im sorry no matter what anyone says LBJ KNEW what was goin on with the assination.

  • @irrelevent100 he ordered a full removal of the all troops by 1965, after the elections, this was reversed by johnson. Diem was hated by all south Vietnam, the CIA didnt listen Kennedy, thats why he ordered them to be shut down, but i guess a Kennedy Administration of Ending war, and shutting the CIA wasn't in the best interest of other powers in DC. that's why he was assassinated, who benefits? a war hungry Johnson which continued the War, instead of ending it

  • @irrelevent100 rightttt.. Kennedy made it his platform when running to make these things happen. Kennedy had openly said he wasn't going to stay in Vietnam for much longer, and ordered the military to pull out by 1965 after the 64' election. this was all changed the tuesday following Kennedy's assassination. Johnson reversed that order to pull out, escalating this "train wreck", alone and by himself!

  • Hey hey LBJ how many kids did you kill today?

  • @BLINELIGHT Lyndon Johnson was a terrible president, evident by his disastrous campaign in Vietnam. as for civil rights and medicare, that was all John Kennedy's doing

  • @BLINELIGHT what? haha that was terrible sarcasm, im fine with reinvesting wealth into the community, i just think LBJ was a pussy

  • @husky528 I really hate civil, medicare rights too. God, maybe people equal and supported is so dumb.

    By the way, thats called sarcasm.

  • Poor guy wanted that job so badly. It ended up killing him in the end. He remains an enigma to me.
