Apparently this administration feels it is unaccountable to anyone....especially the liberal media who are in the tank for him.

Watergate was the result of Nixon having the '60 election stolen from him by Papa Kennedy and his voter fraud machine in Chicago...and then the Dems damn near stole it again in '68 with more voter fraud; so in '72, he wanted to know their entire gameplan to make sure they didn't screw him again. Basically, his paranoia got the best of him.
O's agenda is far, far worse.
I don't get the idea behind the link you gave, but yes, I have been saying for a couple of years that history will judge Obama as our worst president. That is if history doesn't get revised ala "1984" by the powers that be. And Jeez, I wish I was kidding.

Well, a lot of folks have a higher opinion of W in the years since he left...and I think history will be much kinder than the Dems would like to see.
O...the opposite.

O's agenda is far, far worse.It's amazing the MSM has indocrinated so many peeps to think Nixon was actually worse than Carter, Schlickmeister or our Obeafdr. Pick any or all, and Nixon looks like a hero in comparison.

I think Buchanan was the worst ever. But in my lifetime, the really bad ones would be LBJ, Carter, and now BHO. The scary thing about BHO is his damage is ongoing! Just imagine him getting to appt another couple Sup Ct Justices!

Hopefully it happens the right leaning courts are why Citizen's United passed.
The court needs balance.
Nixon's election platform was that he would end the war, that is, his 1968 platform. Can you guess what was the platform four years later?

Nixon was an awful president and a criminal. Nixon brought us OSHA, the EPA, price and wage controls, domestic spying. He was all for using the power of the state for his own purposes just as the current office holder. I don't get you guys that think R is good and D is bad, or vice versa, without reviewing the actual record.
The current president is a criminal and it shouldn't surprise us that his Chicago goons are running a criminal enterprise.

You know I took a great class from a professor at OU, over 20 years now. I think the professor was Danny Goebel (sp?)
It was plain and simple The History of Oklahoma. Yup only one semester. Brilliant professor and I loved the class.
I am not a scholar by any means. I imagine that I know as much or slightly more than the average Joe.

And I am not an Oklahoma hater..... I have a ton of personal history there. Both sides of my family are from Tulsa.
I had a great time during my time at OU. It was/ is a great school and I hope my sons would go there.

Speaking as a complete neophyte, I've always felt Nixon's greatest legacy should be his forward-thinking foreign policy viewpoints and actions. He was never very comfortable-looking at any time, but he seemed most comfortable in the company of Khrushchev and Mao, working for the US best interests. I also believe he was a valued advisor regarding foreign policy, long after he left office. I've read a few of his books and they are quite well-written and easy for someone like me that isn't a PolySci expert to digest.
Lots of respected folks on this board might disagree with me, but that is the impression this poster has.

Not sure I follow you but if you are talking about my kids and going to OU... it would be special to me if they went there. That being
said, I would never force them to go anywhere as long as they were trying to get a good education.

Lott, I read all of Nixon's books and they were great. My dad flew both Johnson and Nixon and he said as far as being polite Nixon beat Johnson hands down. I think Nixon redeemed himself in retirement. He was a gentleman's statesman.
As far as comparing Obama vs Nixon I am not sure that dog will hunt. Their situations were totally different and you have to view Nixon in the context of the Vietnam War and the Cold War.

Doesn't get much worse than getting rid of guys so that you can bring in someone specifically to fire the person who is investigating you. I hope you can see how severe a miscarriage of justice that was. It basically tells the world that the President is above the law because as the head of the executive branch they can routinely get rid of anyone who may be investigating them.
Bork may have been treated badly during his confirmation hearings but he should have never been considered for the Supreme Court after playing such a prominent role in undermining the justice system.

The court didn't give us Obamacare. The congress/president did.
The court merely ruled that it was constitutional - specifically that the individual mandate was constitutional. Considering it was constructed as a tax on those who don't have health insurance and considering similar provisions already exist throughout our tax code they really didn't have a choice.
The fact you say they gave us Obamacare is a slap in the face to anyone who believes in a court that exercises judicial restraint.

Oh Lord, you missed the point entirely. I was merely responding to Igotnotiming's post that the "court needs balance" and that a so called "conservative leaning" court that ruled for Citizens United also ruled favorably on Obamacare.

I didn't miss the point. I would like to think that a conservative court would give deference to congress when there lacks a clear constitutional reason to overturn a statute. The fact that they ruled for Obamacare (or more specifically didn't strike it down) should not lead anyone to believe the court is not right leaning.

Any court, right or left, should give deference to congress when there isn't a constitutional reason to strike it down.
