My point was that, in the context of this thread, it is good to consider LBJ's record in the Senate, as well as the House. In post #17, you had mentioned the House, and I think it is fair to say he became a more powerful leader in the Senate.

I would agree that it can be hard to compare a leader from one era, to another, especially on different issues. However, I do think that LBJ's leadership style was significantly different than that we witness today, and more, I think that LBJ's style might be more beneficial in the current state of affairs.

I did not intend to imply that you were not aware of LBJ in the Senate, and am sorry if my post sounded rude. I respect your opinion.
