I. love. this. man. He's been my political hero ever since I knew him. Huge FF.
Definitely one of the greatest presidents and highly underrated. Vietnam was a mistake from today's perspective, but at that time it looked different. However, no other president except FDR has passed that many and far-reaching reforms on civil rights, health care, education, poverty, environment and gun control. LBJ was one of the most efficient presidents ever; he knew how to get things done. Additionally, he was very complex and interesting man, who was raised in poverty and became the world's most powerful man. But he never forgot where he came from.
