Jackie Kennedy on Why JFK chose LBJ as Vice President

From the March 1964 interview with Historian Arthur Schlesinger

Jackie was very pretty and had a pleasant voice and demeanor.

Sometimes, when you keep your enemies too close, they stick a dagger in your back when you least expect it.

In history, Jackie has come across as incredibly two-faced. Listen to the tapes of the conversations between she and LBJ and Lady Bird. Although LBJ had many deplorable qualities, he was a master of the legislative process and got many of JFK's bills passed once he became president. JFK had very little success in getting anything passed through the Congress

The Clinton's remind of me of LBJ. Same mentality

[chrisackerley]

What I have never understood is why President Kennedy cheated on Jackie. Married to one of the most beautiful women on Earth, and he's poking interns. Marilyn Monroe I can understand, but not Fiddle and Faddle [as the Secret Service called them].

Kennedy dropped his guard, sad to say, his over confidence killed him.
