Folks, the way you carry yourself and behave to others matters. Everyone thinks of LBJ as a generic president, or ,as a crude man. All that legacy, people don't pay attention to. Similar stuff will happen to Biden's presidency, he was more progressive than people give him credit for, but his "ice cream, Jack" and gaffes , alongside Trump's bullying are getting him put to the sidelines of history.

Also, among these lines, being an extraordinary gentlemen from an unexpected background and being sandwiched by two buffoons before and after his terms, does a lot for Obama's image. He's more middle of the road than he is perceived to be.
