I have read all 3 of Caros huge volumes about LBJ. What a skunk LBJ was.

And yes folks, he had a hand in JFKs assassination or at least he knew about it and didn't try to stop it.

He HAD to be president HAD TO BE and that was the only way he was going to get there!

Sure hope Robert A. Caro lives to finish his Volume V. We haven’t even gotten into LBJ as President yet.

If my Dad were still here he’d interview with Caro. Dad was in the Pentagon 1964-68 & the OSD staff hated Johnson’s guts. LBJ micromanaged the Vietnam War down to squad level. His ROE got many people killed. Officers summoned to the WH were required to wear business suits. BTW, the Clintons were not the first to have uniformed officers handing out canapes.

LBJ croaked in January 1973. Often wondered if senior military celebrated in secret.

I always thing of the assassination by my first thought...” He really did it!”

I had been afraid since the choice was made as VP. There had been such hatred between the two groups.

I believe Obama learned from the lesson and that is why Hillary had to take Secretary of State.

I certainly hope DJT is wise too.
