These days, few people remember the name of William “Dollar Bill” Blakley, the man who twice was appointed to the U.S. Senate from Texas as a placholder–once after a Senator resigned to become governor and once after Lyndon Johnson left the U.S. Senate to become Vice President. Blakley’s name surfaces today because of U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison’s announcement that she is formally exploring...

Some outfit called The Rosenkranz Foundation held a symposium on the premise that "Bush 43 is the worst president of the last 50 years." I guess they didn't include Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton in that mix. And what about Lyndon Johnson, who led the country through the Vietnam War. You remember that little Democratic Party-led adventure that cost 58,156 American lives, don't you? Karl Rove Defends...

There’s a story , likely apocryphal, that when Winston Churchill died, then-President Lyndon Johnson was too sick to attend the funeral. An aide suggested they send "Hubert," and Johnson asked, “Hubert who?” (The answer, of course, was Hubert Humphrey, Johnson’s vice president.) Seems like Joe Biden might be getting to know how Humphrey felt. The New York Times reported last week that he’s recognized,...

We'll probably never tire of comparisons between B. O. & his predesscessor, whose name we dare not speak. More than enough change for us. Those presidents who fixated on personal allegiance, such as Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and George W. Bush, tended to perform far worse in office than those, such as Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton, who could...

In 1964, the Democrats won control, and the election of Lyndon Johnson was seen as an endorsement of a national health-insurance system. Congress and Johnson created Medicare. In signing the bill into law, Johnson quoted his predecessor, President Harry Truman: "Millions do not now have...

I’ve noticed a lot of Boomers in this crowd. Quoting Beatles lyrics, or reminiscing about where you were when you first heard John Kennedy had been shot. If this fits you, then I hope you remember President Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society,” a collection of programs that had their roots in the Kennedy Administration. It was [...]

WASHINGTON -- When I started covering the White House, more than 50 years ago, I believed that the smarter a president was, the better he would be. That was wrong. Lyndon Johnson and Ronald Reagan were certainly not intellectuals, but they grasped the power of the presidency and they knew how to impose their agendas on their political partners and rivals. By contrast, Jimmy Carter was a whiz at policy...
