Brilliantly Perceptive Talk from Richard Nixon | From a Confirmed Lifetime Liberal

Of course I'm still a liberal but we listen.




His estimation of the Kennedy boys was bang on.  Teddy Kennedy had an immense future and too bad he threw it away.

The classification of LBJ as one of the best politicians of the last century is remarkable and the Rockhouse has loudly disputed that here on Ithaka.  Nixon was gifted with words and maybe he said less than it seems since he said the best politicians rather than the best Presidents.

Eisenhower does rate highly with the Rockhouse but Nixon doesn't seem to think all that much of him and spoke mostly of his own role in that administration.


Regardless of your opinion of Nixon, I suggest you will find the video interesting.  Unknown why the note about expletives were not deleted since I noticed only one and it was kind of bashful.
