It's unlikely or perhaps even impossible that it originated as a reference to President Lyndon Johson, because Websters cites its first recorded usage back to 1863. Maybe its an offshoot of the British slang "John Thomas" which was slang for penis.More than likely it's because as President, Johnson was known to be an avid skinney dipper.
