Verified answer

He did what he said he would do, and got us out of Vietnam. He was also a good diplomat. I think his activities with Watergate are what other presidents have done in the past, I just think he was clumsy and got caught.

If you like the EPA or think that peace with the Soviets (now Russia) and China is important or ending the war started by Democrat Presidents Kennedy and Johnson (War in Vietname), maybe.

He was one of our worst presidents ever. The White House tapes show him as filthy, dishonest, foul-mouthed, paranoid, bigoted. He made enemies lists and used illegal means to destroy his political "enemies." He had some achievements, in particular his opening to China, but yecch, so I'm sure did Blago. His management of the economy was poor, and he kept us in Vietnam for five years, breaking every kind of law and lying to the American people as he did so. He was divisive, turned Americans against one another, lied about the press. A thoroughly vile man.

he was actually a very good president but is only remembered for his stupidness at watergate.

He's down there with Dubya. They both caused a lot of unnecessary death. Nixon with the bombing of Laos and Cambodia (nations we were not at war with). Bush with the debacle in Iraq.

Rent and price controls. taking us off the gold standard, and numerous horrible economic policies.

Nixon was a hateful man with all kinds of skeletons in his devious closets.

.

He had a few significant foreign policy accomplishments, but that hardly redeems his presidency.

Watergate, corruption, Kent State, and his war crimes in SE Asia will define him forever.

Bush is the best president ever. Nixon comes close 2nd

Nixon was weak and stupid. He was drunk with power.
