Lyndon Baines Johnson or LBJ. He became president when John Kennedy was killed. He talked about creating the "Great Society" through the "War on Poverty".

President Lyndon Baines Johnson talked about creating a Great Society in his Inauguration Speech. He did a great job domestically, and was instrumental in getting the civil rights bill passed that was sponsored by Kennedy before he was assasinated. He was devastatingly bad on Foreign affairs, and got the US more deeply ensconced in the VietNam war, until he decided not to run again. He was responsible for polarizing America. He failed to end poverty or inequality in our country, and he certainly failed to create a great society. But he looks real good compared to George W. BUSH, who has reduced our civil liberties to a free speech zone- how silly, I always thought all of America was a free speech zone.

President Johnson in 1964, he talked about it, but did nothing to promote it, he was hoping he could sound a little like President Kennedy, and give some hope to the country, since he had plunged us into Vietnam, I guess he did sign the Civil rights Amendment, but he just dropped the ball during his 3 previous years.

Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964:
"The Great Society program became Johnson's agenda for Congress in January 1965: aid to education, attack on disease, Medicare, urban renewal, beautification, conservation, development of depressed regions, a wide-scale fight against poverty, control and prevention of crime, and removal of obstacles to the right to vote. Congress, at times augmenting or amending, enacted many of Johnson's recommendations."
