"My name is Lyndon Baines Johnson! I'm your goddamn President and I'm here to tell you my office and the people of the United States are behind you!"
-- President Lyndon B. Johnson, shouting to evacuated citizens as he walked through a shelter in New Orleans with a flashlight following Hurricane Betsy, September 1965.

(Friday Night History) #142- Spotlight on Sources, Part 1 - The Papers
Let’s take a look at the archives! This week on Friday Night History, I’d like to take a moment to pause from our Season Five story of the Boshin War. This is for a few reasons. First, it’s because now that I’m writing squarely in that upon which my doctoral research focused, I feel like I’m sensing some “mission creep”– the episodes are getting longer, and I want to recalibrate and make sure…
Other things that got their start in November of 1963:
Happy birthday Doctor Who!
President Johnson nominated Thurgood Marshall to the U.S. Supreme Court on 6/13/1967. Justice Marshall was the first African American to serve on the Supreme Court.

What do you think are some of the most powerful political slogans?
"Hey, hey, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?" was brutal and took a real toll on Lyndon Johnson -- not just politically, but emotionally and, ultimately, physically. LBJ could literally hear protesters chanting that as he was sitting inside the White House and it broke his heart.

I was wondering why is it that FDR is almost revered and in comparison LBJ is villainized and or painted in a far more negative light. When just looking at YouTube search’s for LBJ it will bring up videos about how bad he saying he was an individual of poor character . This is interesting because FDR has the Japanese intermittent camps and his unwillingness to properly handle the dixiecrats along with many of his policies during the great depression ignoring black people or excluding them.All of FDRs mistakes or failures are ignored and washed away to the point of making him almost saint like in the minds of those who talk about him.I understand that Vietnam is a big black mark of LBJs legacy but he did a lot of good at the same level if not greater than FDR but none of that’s truly acknowledged .Instead his legacy is filled with either just the failures of his presidency and some of other actions along with conspiracy theories that he helped to have JFK killed.LBJ was no saint and was a very complicated and complex individual but it seems like many are unwilling to understand him or acknowledge his accomplishments.Sorry for such a long ask this has just been bothering me for awhile.
The answer is definitely Vietnam. But even with the Vietnam War, most Presidential historians have consistently ranked him as one of the ten best Presidents. The breakdown of results of the survey of Presidential historians done every few years by C-SPAN clearly shows how great he is considered in the categories that aren't dominated by Vietnam:
"We often say how impressive power is. But I do not find it impressive at all. The guns and bombs, the rockets and the warships, all are symbols of human failure. They are necessary symbols. They protect what we cherish. But they are witness to human folly."
-- President Lyndon B. Johnson, Address at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, April 7, 1965.
