What do you think about president Richard Nixon and how he was like as a president?
Had it not been for Watergate, Nixon would have an entirely different image. I didn't learn this until a couple years ago, but President Ronald Reagan often sought Nixon's council on foreign affairs. Nixon was paranoid, but not without reason. There really were a lot of people always biting at his heels. He wanted approval, but was not a very likeable person. He wanted his legacy to be that he opened up China, which he actually accomplished. Nixon thought in big, sweeping terms. He wasn't some tiny detail- obsessed person like Carter. As President he made some brilliant moves, and some mistakes. In retrospect, the gas price freeze during the OPEC oil embargo was probably a mistake, but it also might have been a necessity at the time. We didn't know how long the embargo was going to last, and if oil companies started price gouging, it could have had serious repurcussions for the economy. What about all the goods transported via rail and truck? It could have sent the economy into a huge recession. We will never know.

“Sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield.” -- George Orwell How anyone with an ounce of common sense can argue that global climate change is a myth is getting harder and harder for me to fathom, given all the information on oh so many sites. 3 sites that seem to spell it out well enough: http://www.wmo.ch/pages/prog/wcp/index_en.html http://www.eea.europa.eu/themes/climate/faq http://www.worldviewofglobalwarming.org/pages/background.html
