In reply to the discussion: Pentagon Papers lawyer on Obama, secrecy and press freedoms: 'worse than Nixon' [View all]ProSense
(116,464 posts)6. There is a push
to prove Obama is the worst President ever, everything that's wrong with America, evil. It's like the country was in great shape prior to President Obama, and he came along and ruined it.
I can't find the motivation. Is it because he's black? Is it because we just live in a time of heightened hyperbole? I don't know what it is, but it's bizarre.
FYI: America's problems predate 2009, and President Obama is working to improve the country.

Your answer is either (1) he has never betrayed his base or (2) you favor what he is doing?

What specifically was the "dirty work" that you say that Nixon was doing for the Eisenhower Admin?

You're distorting. No one said worse than Nixon in everyway. What the fellow said was that,

No, I like facts. It is a false equivalency to equate asking for facts with being "unduly disturbed"

LOL! I've done my homework for decades, but based on the rather nasty tone of your response....

To be fair to the President, the Bush administration "burrowed" a lot of political appointees
