Best Answer

Lyndon Johnson's presidency is generally thought to have been destroyed by the Vietnam War. He had plans for what he called The Great Society, however constant problems of the Vietnam War prevented him from achieving this lofty goal. His administration was constantly criticized for continuing the war to the point where the war was practically the only issue being addressed by him.
