Did LBJ have heart attack few months before
Also I understand Reagan didn’t make it because dude got just wounded he need time to recover
“Because Secretary of State Alexander Haig was head of the official delegation, he claimed the Presidents Quarters for himself, leaving the three formers to make do in coach.”
Al Haig was in charge, there on Air Force One.
I bet he even put on the Air Force One Presidential jacket.
He really wanted that job.
LBJ, like BO, was an a**hat who despised Churchill.
I recall conversations amongst the adults when I was a young buck. My predominantly Republican paternal family used to rail against LBJ as a hard-hitting, ruthless politico while the union-loving Democrat maternal side of my family used to extol his virtues as a creator of freedom and liberty.
As an adult, I can see now that the latter was full of crap.
Sickness doesn’t explain why no one else was dispatched. I thought the real reason was because Churchill hadn’t attended Roosevelt’s funeral 20 years before.
The US “Presidents” I DESPISE:
FDR
LBJ
Obama
“Teddy” Roosevelt
Woodrow Wilson
He was still feeling guilty for having JFK assassinated.
LBJ was a venal, phony, disgusting, murdering so and so. The lowest of the low.
That's an easy one. LBJ avoided situations where someone could make an unfavorable comparison between him and someone else. Winston Churchill was an undeniably great leader. So obviously LBJ would not want to be stuck at his funeral.
Here!
Take yer old bust back; too!

Oh, come on, son, it ain't hard.
Just assume Lint'n was acting like the lying, low-down, snaky-ass POS he always was, and you'll catch on pretty quick.
"Elusive", my ass.
