According to the Miami Herald, Bush made those comments Wednesday night in San Antonio, Florida at Saint Leo University, while speaking about education, immigration, and energy policy. Bush did not address Johnson's Great Society and War on Poverty programs, about which Ronald Reagan once famously quipped, "We had a war on poverty, and poverty won." Instead, he was referencing Johnson's mastery of the so-called sausage-making process in Congress. He vowed to approach the presidency as "master of the Senate," as biographer Robert Caro described Johnson. �He went and he cajoled, he begged, he threatened, he loved, he hugged, he did what leaders do, which is they personally get engaged to make something happen,�� Bush said of Johnson. Bush cited Caro's latest book about Johnson, The Passage of Power, which covers the first part of Johnson's presidency. The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

Consensus is, that he did a bang up job in that capacity. He created jobs, lowered taxes, pushed for insurance reform, boosted education, held unions in check, boosted tourism, helped new industry to come to Florida, and gave us the Nation's first real CCW law. That said, even then, he was pro "immigration reform", is married to a Mexican, does not seem able to manage his own family (lots of drug problems), and favored expanding government. While he may well have been great for Florida, as the Governor, I am not really for him in the Presidential role. Sam......

If that idiot said he wants to be like LBJ then he is a full blown a$$hole. I would never vote for anyone who feels that LBJ was something to look up too. LBJ was as bad a Jane Fonda, in my book. I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

I watched him closely while he was governor and he was very well liked. Then he completely changed while President. We got the Patriot Act and he said he'd sign an extension of the AWB if it passed his desk. Thank God it didn't. I will not be voting for another Bush if that's who the Republicans choose to run.

If he said that, then he doesn't really want to be president very badly. But, if the quote came from the MSM, I take it with a grain of salt. Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla!
