Part one of Nixon’s famous “Checkers Speech”, delivered to a national television audience on September 23, 1952.

Is Nixon angry at me?

He’s Misstra Know It All

watergate saved america
A great politician. Not the greatest leader, though.
Yeah, you keep thinking that.
moon landing was fake
I am sorry, but he was a pretty good president, alcamus2004. He opened up China to America, and now they are our greatest economic ally. Nixon also created Dente with the USSR, possibly keeping the world alive a tad longer during his administration, in that hectic cold war time. Not to mention he created the EPA! please read a book or something before you open up your mouth with any more ignorant comments!
DGatsby: if your comment was meant for me:he was a terrible president ( but good politician). He was paranoid: he kept a list known as his ‘enemy list’ and he went after them (in his earlier days) by labeling them as communists. Corrupt: yep, this charge sticks also, the reason he resigned was because he knew that Congress would impeach him on obstruction of justice and political racketeering (and he wasn’t innocent of these charges). Murderer: he ‘raised the stakes’ in Vietnam
oh and you are the reigning authority?
You also must not know much about Nixon.
You must not know anything about Nixon.
Yeah, but remember he got us out of Vietnam, opened us up with China, and got us on the moon.
This was incredibly smart of Nixon to do. The people started watching this back then, they were thinking about Nixon’s misuse of funds. At the end, they were thinking about Checkers.
Watching too much Watchmen?
he was a terrible leader, but a great politician
the real Nixon was a terrible man, a paranoid, corrupt, mentally unbalanced man. Did I say a liar, a murderer and a crook?
