I'm reading The Passage of Power by Robert A Caro. At about p. 400, Caro describes how the speech was put together, how LBJ edited it, how the press received it, and how others responded. It's so nice to be able to go from a 600 page book of history to find a small clip of the first speech LBJ made to Congress after Kennedy's assassination.

Me too! Pause Pause The book is truly magnificent, I hope Caro remains healthy and finishes the next volume quickly.

Me too! It really helps to go between the book and the actual speech.

Wow. I just got past pg 400 today and looked this up. Caro's 'The Years of Lyndon Johnson' has been an amazing education. Hope he drops that 5th book soon.

I hope Caro gets the last volume published. Caro is 85 though, so if he can't, I hope his publisher gets someone to finish it. I always tel people-- "There is this writer Robert Caro who's spent 40 years of his life from age 45 to now writing this ONE huge biography on LBJ." A lifetime. That's dedication. They better get someone to finish it if he can't.

Your very lucky to be able to read steadily. My ADHD inhibits my concentration thus rendering audio history narratives and speeches my only avenue of learning at my age.

What I was always surprised at was how Florida Senator George Smathers was a close friend of JFK but he never supported JFK or LBJ in Civil Rights. So sad. He started wiping his face instead of clapping when LBJ stated "equal rights for ALL Americans regardless of their RACE or color "

"Let us continue!" - - I think those are fewest words spoken by a POTUS that had the most impact in the history of the country.

So he continued. Launched a Vietnam war and murdered thousands of young men. JFK didn't want US troops to be involved in South Asian conflict. Yep... continued

And two days later he had a conversation with FBI Director J Edgar Hoover askin if he should have a bullet proof car on his ranch, Hoover said yes indeed, and that the last time he was on the ranch with Johnson they rode around together in a small car. Hoover told Johnson to keep it a secret because the tax payers don't need to trouble themselves with how government money are spent.

Great speech is kind of an over statement considering it's written down and really who you think wrote that?

@alpha-omega2362 2 жыл бұрын

The speech was made the night before Thanksgiving. How important that is, that no one was on recess. Not the president nor Congress. LBJ’s first speech as President. No doubt his speech mannerisms opposite of JFK’s. Yet Johnson was a great speaker. He was eloquent, humble, and yet very persuasive. Who in their right mind would go against any of JFK’s proposals
