He was able to get the Civil Rights Act passed by appealing to Republicans. Johnson used his connections at the Washington Post to put pressure on Republicans to vote for the bill. He did NOT compromise with southern Democrats.
Obama can curry the religious vote without actually inviting a vocal bigotted minister (someone who has the opportunity to influence church people and, so, has a particular responsibility not to spread misinformation and bigotry) to a campaign event.
