Alan Kung "The President Calling"

I liked listening to the Johnson part of the podcast because he had a way of manipulating people by seeming to understand and take up the side of the person he talks to. It's also very interesting listening to him speak so informally because normally the only time you hear the president speaking, he is in an interview or making a speech. I now have a view of the president as a regular human being instead of a powerful man that sits in a desk 24/7 making extremely important decisions. But he did have important decisions to make, such as in the Vietnam war. I would not be able to make decisions under that amount of pressure. He was a good president because he wanted the opinions of others before he made the decision himself.
