Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"A President who refuses to go out among the people, who refuses to be judged by the people, who is unwilling to lay his case before the people, can never be President of all the people."

"The source of the President's authority is the people."

"They want their President to be a source of leadership and responsibility."

"As long as I hold it, I will keep the office of President always close to all the people."
