ORIGINAL: bobogoboom hey i like 2 of the 3. bbq is good and big belt buckles are a sure sign that you are in a place you don't belong before someone gets mad at you. the 3rd one is a god damn carpetbaggin yankee. LBJ...need I say more. [;)] was better than kennedy.[:'(] Note and disclaimer. Total historical editorial here....no political affiliations, agenda,or relation to current politics should be implied. Not that I'm a Kennedy fan either, but no he wasn't. Kennedy was a back room wheeler and dealer and had the subtly and smarts to get things done...for all the good AND bad that brings with it. LBJ was neither subtle, nor particularly brilliant. What, IMHO, is most impressive about his legacy is that he was willing to back the civil rights bills. Something that Kennedy for all his talk was unwilling to do. Then again, LBJ brought us the "great society" and Vietnam war escalation. That puts him firmly on the bottom tier of Presidents in my book as both have since proven to not have worked out very well.
