From the You Tube Poster:

Previously, I hadn't known Tom Paxton wrote "George W. Told the Nation" as a spin off from an earlier song "Lyndon Johnson told the Nation." Thanks to a comment on the video I made of "George W. Told the nation" by Carol, I became aquainted with the song.

Here is Tom Paxton singing his anti vietnam war song "Lyndon Johnson told the Nation" with images of the era, which also includes my father's own "letter from LBJ

Did I say I loved Tom Paxton? :-)

3. One big difference between LBJ and GWB, LBJ agonized

about the casualties in Vietnam. I think GWB enjoys it.

4. I have to agree with you.

Bush feels no pain for what he has done.
