The clear lesson from Caro books is that power reveals. The more powerful lesson is that every major legislative move that Boosted Johnson required no thinking opposition. He realised politicians are not interested in politics. They are interest in power. He was interested in politics but wanted power. This was the core of his advantage. It can be applied in others fields (which is actually why anyone reads, and Caro wrote, biographies)

Jesus, his life was like a character in a story. Turning to "evil" because he saw what trying to be good did for his father, knowing when his time would come so doing everything he could before he would die, his relentless ambition. Like an anti-hero in some novel. What a card, that Johnson.

Hey! I'm young and read the huge president books too! You should do a video on Ford. Yes, i'm heavily biased because I live in Michigan and have been to his presidential museum. But Richard Norton Smith just last year released the first serious biography of Ford and it's really great. Ford too is interesting on his own. When you mention Ford, people usually think of a big kinda dopey guy who had 3 claims to fame: he was never elected to the presidency or vice-presidency, he pardoned Nixon, and he fell down a lot. However, when you take away this caricature, you're left with a far more complex man than many think. He was smart, athletic, and a good man. He was very much a peacekeeper in the house of representatives, and always put people first. When he was in the white house, he was thought of by many as a typical corrupt politician, a goon of nixon's. But he always put the country first, or tried to, and was as honest as possible, even when he screwed up, and that likely cost him the election. Also, because he was hand-picked without much communication, i've always considered him to be one of the few presidents that was able to do what he thought was right. No election, no campaign promises to donors, no corruption money, no bought votes, no to a lot of things. It seems to me like him and Carter were the last two decent people to take the office. Would love to see what story you craft about him, as you seem to try to avoid the obvious stuff. Thanks!

LBJ was one of our WORST Presidents ever, his Welfare Act of 1964 only made a lot of Americans dependent upon the government for money, especially black neighborhoods and contributed to the rise in crime, his Gun Control Act of 1968 was unconstitutional, his strategy in the Vietnam War was bad (I'm personally not against the war, but I'm critical of the strategy that was used). He wasn't a good person either, he was very childish by him taking food out of his mouth and throwing it at people, he would walk around nude, and he would make reporters watch him use the bathroom. If all that wasn't enough, he even wiretapped Barry Goldwater's headquarters in the 1964 Presidential election, LBJ sucked and we are still suffering from the policies he passed today.

I've ranked LBJ as the 10th worst president. His only bright spot was the Civil Rights Act of 1964. His extension of the welfare state was abysmal. He severely exacerbated the Vietnam War and more than 50,000 American service members died during his tenure among other horrific consequences. He also bugged Barry Goldwater’s campaign in 1964 with the help of the CIA but was spared from Nixon’s fate due to his underhanded relationship with the press.

How are there nine worse?
@89Awww3 ай бұрын
@@Tguchi26Well since you asked... 9. Richard Nixon - He was a pathological liar who was deeply paranoid and insecure. As terrible as the Watergate Scandal was, it was not his worst mistake. He was responsible for the War on Drugs and promised to get America out of the Vietnam War if elected but it dragged on throughout his presidency. He implemented wage and price controls, which was horrible for the economy. His presidency can be blamed for the stagflation of the 70s. His policy of detente with the Soviet Union and the creation of the EPA were silver linings of his tenure. 8. Benjamin Harrison - He was responsible for the disastrous McKinley Tariff, which hurt the economy and the morally dubious taking of Hawaii. The Wounded Knee Massacre also happened under his watch and corruption was rampant in his administration. 7. George W. Bush - His response to 9/11 was and remains a disaster. The AUMF gave the him a blank check to fight terrorism all over the world. The Patriot Act stripped many civil liberties that Americans used to take for granted. The Iraq War and the Afghan War were two of the worst foreign policy decisions in history. His response to Hurricane Katrina left a lot to be desired and he responded to the Great Recession with crony capitalism. He needlessly expanded the surveillance state and his No Child Left Behind Act transformed American education into soul-destroying high stakes tests. 6. Herbert Hoover - The Smoot Hawley Tariff, which he passed a few months after the Wall Street Crash, increased tariffs on foreign imports to the U.S. by about 20%. At least 25 countries responded by increasing their own tariffs on American goods. Global trade plummeted, contributing to the ill effects of the Great Depression. He also increased taxes, a terrible thing to do at the onset of a huge recession, in an attempt to balance the budget. His treatment of the Bonus Army veterans in D.C. was disgraceful. Crony capitalism worsened during his tenure. He did try to end the Great Depression but simply made it worse. 5. Warren G. Harding - He presided over the most corrupt administration in American history. He appointed many of his corrupt friends (aka: “The Ohio Gang”) to be in his cabinet. Some of them, including his secretary of the Interior, Albert Fall, were responsible for bribery in what would become the Teapot Dome Scandal. He lacked both intelligence and moral authority, preferring poker over governing. His laziness enabled his corrupt cronies to make decisions without him. He and they would illegally gamble and smuggle in alcohol at the height of Prohibition. One of the few laws he passed was the Emergency Quota Act, which was designed to favor Western and Northern European immigrants. He hardly did anything and was unwilling to stop his cabinet members from committing crimes. To his slight credit though, he did preside over the beginning of the Roaring Twenties and supported civil rights for African Americans. 4. Franklin Pierce - He passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which was one of the worst laws ever passed in American history. This law canceled the Missouri Compromise, which declared that slavery was not legal in those areas. He was a northerner who didn’t have the moral authority to condemn slavery and shamelessly appeased the southern slave states. He even wanted Cuba annexed as a slave state. His actions (or lack thereof) exacerbated tensions and hastened the Civil War. 3. Andrew Johnson - He was egotistical and thin-skinned, which negatively impacted the relationship between the Presidency and Congress. He was a staunch white supremacist who refused to compromise with the radical republicans and shattered Andrew Jackson’s record (twelve vetoes) with 29 vetoes, which led Congress to override his vetoes. His opposition to the 14th and 15th Amendment and the Civil Rights Act held back African Americans for generations. 2. James Buchanan - He was morally opposed to slavery but spoke out in favor of the Dred Scott decision, one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in American history. Despite being a northerner, he sympathized with the south and failed to lessen or condemn slavery. The United States was on the brink of the Civil War by the time he left office and he blamed Republican northerners and abolitionists for this. He did almost nothing to unify the American people when the Union desperately needed it. 1. Woodrow Wilson - He was easily the most interventionist and the most white supremacist president in American history. He paved the way for American interventionism and regime-changing foreign policy. He won reelection in 1916 by promising to keep the United States out of WWI but then got involved in WWI. The Espionage Act and the Sedition Act were two of the worst laws in American history. They allowed him to violate the 1st Amendment. He screened The Birth of a Nation at the White House, calling it historically accurate, and ignored prolific lynchings during his tenure. He believed the state should have no limits on power. No president of the United States was closer to dictatorship than him. He was also against women’s rights and even admired the German Empire’s proto-fascist government before getting into WWI. Feel free to make your disagreements known!

Ridiculous to rank him as one of the worst in American history. Vietnam can't even be fully assigned to a single president as every president from Eisenhower to Ford had some hand in it. The other point is minor and insignificant when compared to the fact most other American elections before and at the time were far more substantial than simple bugging. The reality is most Americans at and prior to it had some minor interference and simple alleged bugging is far less egregious than any of the alleged "election irregularities" like 1960, 1888 and 1876 among various others.
