I always admired LBJ and saw him as something of a reluctant hero/tragic figure. The corrupt southerner who is somehow forced by History to step up, confront his fellow southerners and become the civil rights hero.
I'm still dumbfounded by the fact that the Hollywodd is unable to make a great movie about his unlikely life and career.
I hope History will remember him that way... however much we talka bout how we define our times- our times define us... LBJ stepped up and I will always be damn proud to have cast my first vote for that man
He had his mistakes but he was a man who faced the challenges of the time with a resolve I wish our leaders had today and we always knew that
