This takes me back to the early-60's. Back then, we kids "loved" Pres. Kennedy, but LBJ?...not so much. As we were just children, this had nothing to do with their respective politics by the way. The loss of that feeling when JFK was killed, was palpable....counting his visit to South Dakota today. how precious is this letter?

OMG....really? Lol! I'm sure his parents didn't help with that..........counting his visit to South Dakota today. how precious is this letter?
that's what cons do, isn't it? act like children....OMG...really? Lol!.....and trash a child who shows some caring for our president.
he never said "57," missy.
I've got a few years on you so we all looked up to President Dwight Eisenhower. yes, my parents were Dems, but, of course, they taught us to respect our president.

I didn't trash the child...I just don't think he wrote it all by himself. I think it was more the parents idea.
And yes, he did say 57 states.....I never said it wasn't a mistake, but he did say it. Poor guy was so tired......
At a campaign event in Beaverton, Oregon, in May 2008, Obama claimed to have visited 57 U.S. states during the campaign. The excuse from the Obama loving media about the 57 states gaffe? “He was tired”.

My parents were always Dems too....until Carter became president.
Rebecca...appears to be the name.
And heavens no...we certainly don't want parents helping their children, do we?

Ms. Caroljo,
You beat me to it. Although, according to Jules, he never said 57 states when he said he has visited 57 states.
ya-ta-hey
Mayor
Jules,
You are correct. He said "I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go."
Now that he had visited SD, he's been to all 58 states.....

My mother was a Republican until "The Civil Rights Act of 1964". As I've noted before, Republicans of her stripe were especially taken aback not just but by the Dixiecrats, but by the very real racism that existed within urban, northern, Democratic cities. Once LBJ and the Democrats so decidedly shed that mantle and the Republicans so willingly scooped it up, her switch only made perfect sense!
On a similar note, when I attended WSU back in the mid-70's, a lot of my friends came from E. Washington farms. They were ALL Democrats. I guess you'd call them "FDR Democrats" in that it was all about what FDR did for ag. during and post the depression. Alas, when Reagan came along, they all switched to the Republican Party and I imagine anyone around here younger than about 40, assumes that's the way it's always been!
yeah, the kid was a girl.....you didn't even know that.....but that didn't stop you from trashing the child.

JFK and his wife and children, made us feel like we were part of something historically/spiritually unique and god-inspired. LBJ brought us back to earth...and the realization that however unfulfilling "democracy" might be, it was the best there was.
