I kinda doubt JFK would have been able to break the Conservative Caucus the way Johnson did (given that he was literally the protege of Sen. Russell and knew all his tricks). You could argue that given that the Republicans were already making inroads into the American South before 1964, Civil Rights and the Great Society had to happen when it did. Johnson was pretty uniquely positioned to threaten, cajole, bribe and bully Medicaid and Medicare through the Senate. No idea if Kennedy would have pulled the plug on Vietnam, but with Kissinger mucking about there was always going to be some pestilential predilection for destroying Southeast Asia. So while I appreciate Oswald's contribution to domestic policy, his failure to kill Kissinger poisons his contribution to history. In all seriousness though, I will always appreciate the Oswald Photoshop Thread from back in the day.
