Okay, to begin:
Clinton was too centralist to me, so he's not my favorite (that would be Theodore Roosevelt). However, he did manage to eliminate the deficit and create a sirplus for the first time in almost a century, after which Georgie the Genius promptly blew it, creating the largest deficit in US history.
Nixon, on the other hand, was a secret Facist. He promised to get our trops out of vietnam, and he did- by moving them into Cambodia. He was FORCED out of Vietnam by public opinion; if the populace had not turned against the war, he would have poured more and more troops and money into Vietnam. He also did a lot of backdoor work to promote the conservative cause; it wasn't just Watergate.
Also, his first vice president, Spiro Agnew, was a slimy f**ker who was nabbed on tax fraud.
Of course, I don't expect you to be satisfied, but I am not really up-to-date on the Nixon years enough to really flesh out how awful this guy was. Sorry to leave you hanging.
Edit: almost forgot to list the one person I would love to see as our next president:
State health care, here we come!![]()
