	Welcome to The American Presidency
		Johnson himself opposed the administration at times, especially in the late 1950s, when he charged that not enough was being done to explore outer space and develop military strength.

		Johnson admitted that the riots revealed that not enough was being done to solve the problems in the cities, and he insisted that suppression, while necessary (he did send federal troops into Detroit), was not enough.

		Lyndon Baines Johnson was born in Texas with a rural background.

		Johnson believed that it was America's duty to be involved in Vietnam in order to prevent it from falling to communism -in other words: to prevent North Vietnam and the Viet Cong (VC) from winning.

	American President
		As a man, Lyndon Johnson was obsessed with his place in history, consumed by a voracious appetite for life, and often cast between emotional extremes.
		Johnson delivered the South -- including several states that had voted Republican during the Eisenhower years -- and the team of JFK and LBJ won the election by the smallest popular margin of the century.
		Johnson was not, however, in Kennedy's inner circle and seemed frustrated by his lack of influence, particularly on legislative matters.
