People like to rip on Nixon, even though he got over 90% of the vote (nearly every state) on the promise to end the Vietnam war (which he did). People also don't know he didn't know anything about Watergate until after he was elected; and resigned anyway. Meanwhile Obama got the Noble Peace Prize and then ran more guns than Regan's Iranian-Contra scandal with his own Fast and Furious operation.
Nixon was no saint of course. Cambodia/Kissinger was a bloodbath. But he wasn't as evil as he's portrayed in some fiction like Futurama and The Watchmen.
