    Teddy Roosevelt, Harry Truman and LB Johnson all stepped up, when the sitting Potus was dead in office, as President and win the election when they ran as president themselves. All three changed the outlook in America during their respective time.

      @@nancyvillines4552yes, my 2 boys started watching Sesame Street and Mr Roger’s from their 2nd Birthday onward. They learnt about caring, sharing, loving, playing games and being kind. The only 2 programs they watched. As they got older we would watch nature programs and other shows that would have an impact in their lives. We are Blessed to have PBS and its sponsors. Our world needs more of this kind of journalism!🌟🌟🌟

      That is historically inaccurate. Especially in the second term. Cheney held a lot of sway because Bush listened but Cheney lost a substantial amount of power as time went on

    My God, I shall always remember that horrific scene… I was 16 yrs old…at school when the news was made through the loudspeakers from our Principal’s office. Girls, boys, teachers, everyone was crying, we were hugging and comforting each other…and then needed to take the school buses home. The streets seemed empty…small groups congregated to watch a Television placed outside the local shops.
    I remember seeing Mrs Kennedy climbing on the back of the convertible…, remember seeing her next to Vice President Johnson when he was sworn in. She looked in shock yet strangely strong. Truly such an amazing woman. She was to be emulated. I can’t think of any other woman who would have done this with such dignity and integrity.
    Thank you for this historic opportunity to teach our children about historic moments in USA 🇺🇸…and the important role a Vice President plays!

    This is really cool. I like that PBS is branching out here on UA-cam with not just two cents but also this channel. The vice president definitely does deserve some recognition. Of course Lyndon Johnson might be the best choice since he took over in such an awful situation but ultimately did a mostly great job, I know that Vietnam was a terrible idea but other than that he seemed to do pretty well and had one of the most dominant victories in history when he ran for reelection in 1964. I said one of the most. I'm aware Nixon won 49 states in 1972 and Reagan won 49 states in 1984

    At exactly 4:02 timestamp of this trailer, top corner of where the PBS logo is, you can see a very quick, small flash of blue light from the grassy nole. It Is the Kill shot. This footage and the Zapruder film footage used in Oliver Stone's movie JFK proves there was more than one shooter!

      The Kennedy people were snobs, and did treat Johnson and his wife like dirt/political necessity (which of course, he came back to bite some of them).
      Watch "The Best Man", with Henry Fonda and Cliff Robertson, about convention infighting (actually shot at the Ambassador Hotel in L.A., where Bobby was shot a few years later)...

Johnson was extremely unhappy as his role as VP to Kennedy who involved him with almost none of the presidential matters. How unhappy is the question.
