Fifty-four years nobody knew of our Country's future. JFK didn't leave such a mess as !"Mr. President" did. LBJ knew his stuff like th back of his hand. I recall reading about the Senate Majority Leader in a textbook at Worcester Junior College.
As fate would have it Mr. Johnson was thrust into the most important chair in the world at The White House. He was off and running in a very positive way before ruining our Patriotic fervor as a Nation.
I like reading his message and recounting with you some of the more salient statements worth repeating.. so here goes and I quote: "Let this session be known as the session which did more for civil rights than the last 100 sessions...ANDS IT WAS! As the session which finally recognized the health needs of our older citizens...AND IT WAS. I pledge a progressive Administration AND IT WAS.. I will cut our deficit in half...and I really don't know the outcome with Vietnam in the wings.
"Poverty is a national problem requiring improved national organization and support.. Poverty must be won in the field, in every private home, in every public office, from the court house to The White House."
"Better schools, better health, better homes better training." Better a better America. But have we reached parity on the playing field? I think not. Pockets of poverty continue across the Land! Before you criticize Johnson learn bout his life and monumental achievements . Say what you want I will always have a spot in my heart for a Texan who did so much for America.
"Any fool can criticize and most fools do!' Dale Carnegie.
