Nixon endorsed illegal activities of a political nature. Not a standard for a President of any party.

Yeah but what he really done



Kidding

 

[Alien Allen]

Still in Iraq

Upped the ante in Afghanny

Now involved in Libya

not exactly what he was supposed to be about. Except Afghanny which we should get the hell out of.

His domestic polices are an obomination. He has spent such that we may never recover. Who would have thunk that we would be nearing bankruptcy.

Oh wait.... I forgot the liberals are against deficits unless they are in control of the spending.
