Presidents Bush and Johnson have similar roots and increasingly similar performance profiles.
a) Both are/were commanders-in chiefs of unpopular wars that started suspiciously. Both had to learn about world geography and history by starting a war.
b) Both the philosophical rhetoric, costs and scope of Hurricane Katrina relief and Great Society programs are similar.
c) Insiders to both presidents profited from both wars and both social reconstruction and initiatives.
Some differences include:
a) LBJ could ride a horse. Bush rides a bike.
b) LBJ could intelligently string more than two sentences together. Bush can't.
c)LBJ had a plain cloth carpetbag. Bush has an endangered species brief case.
By the way. What is the remaining balance of this " historic opportunity" to pay for past injustices?
