Responsible for the War on Poverty and spending of tax payer money on social spending to the tune of $23 Trillion since 1965. Causing the decline of the African American Family and increase in fatherless households. Children born to fatherless households went from 23% in 1965 to over 75% today. Also, his administration took the money's in Social Security fund (a separate fund at the time, like a pension fund) and threw it in the General Fund and poof it was gone. Now SS is funded on a yearly basis and hence the problems.

LBJ, you didn't cross him and expect nothing to happen to this person.

If you want to see how big a crook he was read his brothers book. He burned the courthouse down to destroy the records when he illegally won his race in Texas. He let his wife be in charge of the beautification of the interstate system to the tune of billions of dollars. His whole family was trash!!!!!

One of our worst presidents, to be sure, now being eclipsed for that title by the present one. Someday we'll get it right.

Kermit Stanton, probably not Americans. That's ok. How would you do with British monarchs? Or rulers of any other country?

LBJ'S administration is when the Democratic party and Republican party swapped places.

kayefloyd, Jackie Kennedy and her children didn't actually leave the White House until January of '64. That must have been a compassionate act on the part of Lady Bird.
LBJ was a complete POS, he only signed the Civil Rights Act so the Democratic Party could take credit for it, and sway colored people(but he had a far ruder name for them) would vote for these descendants of SLAVE OWNERS!
