Seeing as the presidents are a popular topic lately, what are your feelings on LBJ? Can he even compete with Teddy or Jackson? He tends to get a bad rap because of Vietnam but I've always been a fan of his chutzpah. Then again I may be biased because I'm from Texas.
Oh boy, I’m going to get some flak from deadpresidents for this, also, you should recommend that blog, it is a very good historical blog! As for LBJ, I can’t say he can properly stack up to the likes of Jackson and Teddy, or any of the others I’d fill my Top 10 out with. Now, LBJ did a lot for equality in America, which I appreciate immensely. However, as a military historian, I tend to focus more on military and economics than social aspects.
I embrace the wrath I expect, Mr. Bergen.
