His great society was a noble effort. Unfortunately a little problem in Vietnam got in the way. Do you want to go into that?

i'm more interested in what you think made him so hard to live with. i wasn't aware there was marital discord.

what did you mean by your original post?

i always understood that he was a tremendous a-hole. maybe that's what he meant.

I respected him more than most, he remained true to Kennedy's philosophy despite his southern upbringing...his tapes with Billy Graham were unfortunate but he was a plain-spoken man...I can live with that, sorta like Truman in some ways. I don't blame LBJ for Nam...I blame the political process!

Tremendous is being very nice. Farting, cussing, spitting... having discussions on the toilet while he was going #2... what a patient woman she must have been. They have some very thick books about him. He may have been one of the crudest presidents of all time.

But then again, he never got his hose sucked by another woman in the white house...

That might not be true according to some accounts...

My case has been made God.

Will you let Ladybird into heaven your highness?

if you do them your spouse goes to heaven.

He was known to have multiple mistresses...that could make for marital discored...I mean, only if you consider infidelity marital discord...

Then there was the whole Vietnam thing he pushed for...

How about those conspirasy lunatics that believe he ordered the hit on JFK?

Personally, in 100 years, he will be labled a horrible president...IMO...
