President Biden has invited comparisons to the policies and ambition of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson .

Julian Zelizer : History may show he saved American democracy from grave threats, but maybe, time will show us he merely slowed them.

He says history might also compare him to two other presidents, George H.W. Bush and Benjamin Harrison .

President Biden said he's not a "very good huckster" in an interview that aired Thursday night on MSNBC .

He said he spent too much time on policy, not enough time on politics, he said.

That self-reflection invites perhaps the most painful comparisons for Biden , in a class with James A. Garfield and Kennedy .
