Everon 0 #26 April 26, 2008 Quotebut look at the bullshit with Nixon being regarded as some sort of elder statesman in his final years. Shrub could easily get that sort of velvet glove treatment. Why was it bullshit with Nixon? He was a geopolitical genius and garnered much respect for the US from the international community. Leaders around the world had great respect for him. It would be delusional to believe Bush would ever earn such a title. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His enemies list and the actions taken wrt. Bush has tried to skirt limitations of the Constitution, but Nixon flat out ignored it. He had to resign before being impeached and thrown out for a real offense with national implications. His reign defined the term Imperial Presidency.
