President Nixon has lost his effectiveness as the leader of this country, primarily because he has lost the confidence of the people.

When most presidents get in, they move to the center because they realize that this is a centrist country - even Reagan.

While he was president, it was popular to be a Nixon hater.

I always believed there would be an African-American president. It was something I'd dreamed about, thought about, but certainly did not believe would happen in my lifetime.
