Reply #7: Go back and read the links I gave to the Good Stuff he did..that helped us all until the Reagan/Bush

folks took over.

See what you think after reading the snips I posted. ...and see how Obama might be trying to do good...while having that "other side" that would bog us down.

I think Moyers was trying to point out how Obama may get into the same "trap" that Johnson did. And, if you read the links...you would see that Lyndon Johnson was a man with "good intentions" just like Obama...but got caught in the "Big Muddy." Where have we Dems seen that before? If it isn't WAR it's a Girl in a Thong.

Anyway...many here don't realize that social programs we take for granted these days and are fighting to KEEP come from Lyndon Johnson..down from FDR. Lyndon in his early days was a "Community Activist in the South" in the 30's for FDR...like Obama was in his time when there was no war...Johnson knew poverty...grew up with it.. he was an early Texas FDR'er. But, he was also brought along by corrupt Texas Politics...just as Obama was groomed by corrupt Chicago gang...but is GIVEN THE CHANCE!

Moyers has touched on a very interesting point we Dems who are out here "hanging in" need to know the background of. Just saying...Please read...
