I see so many polls and so many people saying that LBJ was a terrible president, but I've never understood why. Was there anything else besides the mis-handling of the Vietnam War that made LBJ one of the worst presidents in history?
Didn't LBJ sign into law the Civil Rights Act?
well, I'd say the gulf of Tonkin was a significant reasonI see so many polls and so many people saying that LBJ was a terrible president, but I've never understood why. Was there anything else besides the mis-handling of the Vietnam War that made LBJ one of the worst presidents in history?

He lied about Vietnam, which was inexcusable.
Other than that, he would have gone down in history as possibly the 20th centuries greatest presidents, on a par with FDR. There so much he did in 5 short years that we take for granted today. Civil rights, consumer protections, medicare, medicaid, environmental laws. That shit pretty much all started with LBJ.

which 'party' made that civil rights program pass? Hmmm? Hint, wasn't LBJ's party...
But, your conservative heroes, Reagan and Goldwater opposed the 1964 civil rights bill.
It was a northern versus southern thing. Norther republicans and democrats voted for it, southern democrats and southern republicans voted against it.
History gives LBJ props for providing the leadership on it, even if you don't.
Civil rights wasn't the only thing LBJ accomplished in 5 short years. Pretty much most things you take for granted today, from consumer protections, the healthcare for seniors and poor people, to modern environmental laws all trace their roots to LBJ.
Why do you think your conservative icons Reagan and Goldwater oppossed the 64 civil rights bill? I'd love to hear you spin it.
It's not one of the most important things, but Lady Bird Johnson did a lot with her Don't Be A Litterbug campaign. I wish someone would resurrect it.
I didn't know that.
Nixon was good on the environment too.

It's STILL a big issue here. That is where "Don't Mess with Texas" come from. It isn't some redneck thing as a lot of non-Texans think. It's the slogan for the anti-littering campaign.

I don't think he lied. I do believe he was lied to by the military. I am an historian, and I still rate LBJ among our top five greatest presidents. NOBODY but LBJ could have managed to get the legislation through Congress that he did. He knew how to twist arms and get cooperation better than any American president in history. We needed LBJ when he was president. No other man could have done what he did.
A lot of people think JFK was an important President. The only thing he did that was important beside get the top his skull blown off was his announcement that we would go to and return from the moon before a decade was up (The 1960's).
Again, the important thing to note was that LBJ got that program through Congress when nobody else would have managed. Easily one of the greatest true politicians in World History.
