I think history will record it differently. LBJ, like Ford, were presidents that.... fit in-between things....

Of the two, LBJ had quite an impact.... however....

You can't equate LBJ to Bush in almost any way. Certainly history will record them differently. LBJ *inherited*. Presidents after Bush will *inherit*.


wtf does that have to do with LBJ and his war in Vietnam? Nixon pulled out of Vietnam.

Nash, isn't LBJ the worst President in US history?

Take my advice Nuke...

The sooner you drop this "I Win!" thing, and instead make your points *within* threads and not *about* threads, the more happily separated you will be from the "nutbar" category.

Nash, you said Bush was the worst President in history. Can you explain that in your own words?

I'm interested in hearing the straight info from such an informed guy.

Well... it was a hefty exaggeration to be sure...

But hefty exaggerations are like, my thing, man...

The last 100 years.

But to put that into my own words seems way futile.

You have gotten the chance to see the guy in action almost every day now, and not only do you think he is anything but a nightmare, you actually think the guy has game.

What could I possibly say to that?

Well if he wins this November, I'll be stuck with "Bush is the best President, EVAR!" (I lost a bet w/Nuke) in my sig line for the next 4 years.

LBJ did not run on Kennedy's record or on his memory.  He ran on his own very successful year in office.  If anything, voters and members of Congress especially grew tired by mid-1964 of Johnson using Kennedy as a lever for pushing through major legislative initiatives.  As one member of Congress famously mused six months after Kennedy's death, it was time for Johnson to bury the former president and run on his own name.

And so he did.  Along the way Republicans aided Johnson in his reelection bid by nominating the least electable person possible.

In that he might not go down as the biggest failure of a President ever.

Only one of the biggest....

But... He may indeed turn out to be the biggest afterall...

Who knows... but picking one of the two outcomes as certainty was an exaggeration.
