“The Richard Nixon birthplace home changed hands a number of times after the Nixons moved out in 1922. Frank Nixon, the president’s father, sold parts of the property between 1922 and 1925, when the Yorba Linda School District bought five and one-half acres of the land to build a school. In 1948, the school district purchased the remaining land, including the birthplace, and installed the school’s caretaker in the home. Nixon formed the private nonprofit Richard Nixon Library Foundation for the purpose of building his presidential library in 1969, after he became president. Work on the library did not begin until after he left office, but fundraising continued. In 1978, a group of businessmen purchased the birthplace on behalf of the Foundation. The City of Yorba Linda deeded the whole nine and one-half-acre site over to the Nixon Library Foundation ten years later. In anticipation of the Nixon Library’s opening in 1990, the home was carefully restored with many of its original furnishings, including the bedstead in which President Nixon was born. The private Nixon Library was transferred to the Federal Government’s National Archives and Records Administration on July 11, 2007. The home remains under the Foundation’s administration and is open to visitors.”
So you see, Nixon’s birthplace was purchased by businessmen for a future memorial in 1978 - 4 years AFTER Nixon left office. It wasn’t transferred to the National Archives until 2007, well after Nixon was dead.
I have no idea what Obama will do, but I’m sure money is being raised.
Please do a bit of research on your own before asking questions, and then posting a second time demanding an answer. I have better things to do than stare at FreeRepublic - even after 11,000+ posts - all day, waiting to do research for someone who hasn’t done their own.
I thought you were posting here because you wanted the truth to be told.
I merely ask you to tell it.
you know plenty about Nixon, you vociferously defend Obama, but apparently you know nothing about him.
We are a free and open society. Can’t you tell us the truth about the man you defend?
