While I beleive Nixon and Clinton may have some maelevolent characteristics in common, I find it hard to stomach that Clinton may be considered a better president. Sure Nixon's handling of the economy may have been less than deft but we can find an easy parallel in Clinton's handling of our foreign policy. Take a look at the legacy of each. Nixon: The beginning of the end of the cold war (recognition of both USSR and China as our equals on the world stage). Don't forget that Watergate led to lasting government reforms involving scope of presidential activities, disclosure of information and additional power for Congress. Clinton- while our economy has benefited from his benign neglect our foreign policy is in a shambles. Russia, China, Korea, European Union, most of the middle east all consider us a laughing stock. His legacy: act, then worry about the letter of the law. I think even the most jaded Democrat would agree that Clinton has cheapened and degraded the office of the President by his obtuse replies, semantic shifts and refusal to comply with Congressinal requests. Not to mention his (admited) immoral acts.
