“It’s good to see that Texas is making up for LBJ, who was unquestionably tied for worst President ever.”
Yes, LBJ and Obama really do have a lot in common...but I’d give LBJ a solid third behind Obama and Carter.
Texas used to be full of conservative and moderate democrats. LBJ could be pretty persuasive in his dealings with them. Later, he and with the help of J. Edgar Hoover, changed a lot of opinions up on Capitol Hill. Which is why we are where we are today.
LBJ and FDR are tied for worst IMO, mostly because they actually came up with evil new ideas (all of the New Deal wrt. FDR, Medicare/Medicaid/CRA for LBJ, not even going to go into his Vietnam incompetence). Carter is definitely down there for being the first President who wanted to reestablish a caliphate, though (some may call him the first Muslim President); as bad as Soetoro is, his plans to destroy America were largely ripped off from Carter’s.
LBJ and FDR are at the bottom precisely because they were competent at pushing through liberal agendas; Carter and Soetoro are not as competent at pushing through liberal agendas. (I think that it will be much easier to repeal Osamacare under a conservative administration, while Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security are basically deified among politicians; Carter’s damage was largely undone by Reagan).
