This Day in American History

On November 4th, 1964, Lyndon Baines Johnson is elected as the thirty-sixth president of the United States of America after finishing out the term left (by force, some will say) by John F. Kennedy. This would prove to be a hectic term for LBJ; the start of the Vietnam war, sending national guard troops to a schools in the segregated south to allow black children to sit the same classes as the white children, (and thus creating Eminem), and a propensity for teabagging transsexual hookers, defined his presidency. Although hated amongst conservative ranks for his spending, the botched war effort, and his inability to get the hooker to bring him a pizza (mastered by Bill Clinton), LBJ stood the test of history as one of the greatest presidents of all time.
