You’d think the left would be happy with the one who created the EPA. There’s not pleasing them.

A Coast Guard buddy of mine used to be a cook at the San Clemente Coast Guard Station just down the street from where Nixon lived. He told me that Nixon used to walk the beach quite a bit and every now and then he’d stop into the station for a cup of coffee and a chat, mostly about sports. He said he was a nice guy, kind of regular.

It was sad, I remember crying when he got on the plane as a 7-year old not really knowing what was going on, just that it was sad.

I do however disagree with this line: “With him went one of the most successful presidencies in American history.” The reason is that I still blame him for taking us off the gold standard.

His China approach didn’t sit well with me either.

That speech to staff was very moving. I have watched the video of it numerous times.
