Come on. Nixon was a good President. He ended the Vietnam War and created the EPA. His crime was trying to cover up something he had nothing to do with. It was a “complicated” time in our history, rampant violence, protests, home-grown terrorist blowing up buildings, Patti Hearst robbing banks, Charles Manson leading a cult of murderers. But there was also the Moon landing, Coke commercials and great music. Nixon was not a saint, he was deeply embedded in the Washington swamp (so to speak), but he was not really a criminal, at least for what the whole Watergate stuff was about. By resigning he did the right thing at the right time to preserve our great nation.
