century. He became president on November 22, 1963,
hours after the assassination of President John F.
Kennedy in Texas. In 1964 Johnson was elected to a
full four-year term by the largest popular
majority in modern U.S. history. His triumph
represented a victory for the average voter in U.S.
politics, with which Johnson, as a congressman,
Senate leader, and vice president, had identified
himself.

Michael Gerson --
“The most influential speechwriter in
more than a generation.”
[ send me this paper ]
This 14 page report discusses Michael Gerson, President George W. Bush’s chief speehwriter. Bush himself chose Gerson as his writer despite the fact that most presidents usually leave that up to senior staff members. As a result, Gerson has a remarkable degree of access to the president that apparently the past several administrations’ writers have not enjoyed. As a result, he is an interesting and extremely articulate person in his own right, despite the fact that fellow staffers refer to him as truly humble and President Bush calls him “The Scribe.”
