As is par for the course with the REVEREND Jackson, the thought was not original to him. It was President Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ) who remarked...

“If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Patomac River, the headline that afternoon would read “President Can't Swim””. LBJ

He also said...

“Being President is like being a jackass in a hailstorm. There is nothing to do but stand there and take it.”

Wow! Thanks for the enlightenment! I have a book somewhere of Johnson’s quotes and he sure had some good ones.

One of them I recall was “I would rather have him on the inside of tent pissing out than on the outside pissing in.”

Or words to that effect.

Thanks!
