Did LBJ have heart attack few months before

This piece is to give BO cover for being shown to be the Child that he is

That photographer, bless him, is on a world of trouble right now

“Because Secretary of State Alexander Haig was “head” of the official delegation, he claimed the President’s 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.

Did LBJ have heart attack few months before

Eight years before. In 1955.

[Vigilanteman]

LBJ, like BO, was an a**hat who despised Churchill.

[rarestia]

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.

The reporters at his bedside described Johnson as looking “sicker” than they had expected
Too bad the MFer didn't die. No "War" on Poverty and no Vietnam "Conflict."

Never forget ...

[BipolarBob]

Or “Great Society”.

[erlayman]

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.

[US Navy Vet]

The US “Presidents” I DESPISE:
FDR
LBJ
Obama
“Teddy” Roosevelt
Woodrow Wilson

[TheRhinelander]

He was still feeling guilty for having JFK assassinated.

[gemoftheocean]

Just out of curiosity, why Teddy R? Most republicans like him.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Don’t forget Buchanan.

[dainbramaged]

LBJ was a venal, phony, disgusting, murdering so and so. The lowest of the low.

[US Navy Vet]

Don’t know enough about him to despise him. Educate me.

[US Navy Vet]

He was a NorthEast “Progressive”. Like the Bushies and Nelson Rockefeller.

That photographer, bless him, is on a world of trouble right now

No doubt the photographer is in Valerie Jarrett's crosshairs. Sux to be him; hope his affairs are in order.

[Slings and Arrows]

Maybe no GCA ‘68 either. *sigh*

Also I understand Reagan didn't make it because dude got just wounded he need time to recover.

Explain please....make it to what?
