I always heard growing up that LBJ had JFK done away with to be Pres. that was why he insisted being sworn in on the plane. That was the pic with Jackie standing there with the blood on her suit beside LBJ.
Not that LBJ has anything to do with the thread and no, he wasn't hated by everyone but whatever. I will never believe he killed Kennedy and here's why. LBJ and Ladybird's best friends Texas Gov. Connally and his wife Nellie were both in the car with Kennedy. Connally was also shot. The Johnsons and the Connallys were THE VERY BEST OF FRIENDS, not just during his presidency, but until the days they died. They were neighbors for many years and bought weekend lake homes on Lake LBJ in Llano county in Texas across from each other. Nearly every Friday evening, LBJ would fly in by helicopter and fly up the lake before landing at the house and then boat up and down the lake. They would relax and have cookouts together. Now, tell me, if you knew your best friend was a murderer would you party with him and move your family next to him? Sure, LBJ was crooked and a womanizer but I don't think Lady Bird would have allowed him to harm Nellie. You seriously believe Nellie would have allowed her kids and grandkids around him if she and John had come that close to being killed? How do I know? Well, I know if his belly button was an innie or an outie and leave it at that.
