Opinion of Lyndon B. Johnson

[Peter the Lefty]

One of the best Presidents in US history, no matter what the haters say.

That he was responsible for the deaths of millions of civilians and soldiers on both sides?  That somehow is trivial enough to label those who use it as a reason to vote "HP" as "haters?" 

The number of lives he destroyed far outnumbered the (vast) good that he did domestically.  It doesn't even come close.

HP on foreign policy
FF on domestic policy

Net FF, but Johnson really doesn't lend himself to this question format.  Also, I always find it amusing how some of the people who hate Johnson the most for Vietnam are quick to rush to Kennedy's defense whenever the subject comes up.

What is amusing is that those who attempt to blame Kennedy do everything and anything possible to ignore that he had already begun the process of withdrawing troops from Vietnam (and state department documents have been revealed which show that he had given instructions to find a way to quietly pull out all the way), until Johnson reversed the policy.  One can't blame someone for getting shot before he/she was able to finish carrying out his/her plan.
