        Johnson was yelling at airplane pilots to cut their engines so the crowd can hear JFK speak. Here is the story:http://www.scottcalonico.com/blog/yelling-lbj-the-real-story …

        One of the greatest political photos ever. It shows the detached levelheadedness of JFK vs. the passionate demands of LBJ. When people ask, Why was LBJ able to pass Civil Rights measures where JFK failed, this pic is the perfect metaphor.

        The picture was taken by Richard Pipes, a photographer for the Amarillo Globe-News, who described the scene as "a noisy mess."

        OMG, can people please follow the story and read before asking the same fecking question. That's one of our problems, jumping to questions and/or conclusions without doing due diligence and ending up looking to be unintelligent.

        one leader a product of eastern elitism and privilege; the other an earthy, profane proud product of Texas. Wow!

        He did so much good that was completely subsumed at the time because of his disastrous decision to expand the war in Vietnam.
