at these idiots who don't think Obama is far worse than Nixon. He has used his powers to go after his adversaries via the IRS. He and his comrades lied to the 4 families about their kids being killed because of a video, when they knew it was a terrorist act, ANY POS who lies to our soldiers family about the true cause of their death is a slime POS not worthy of office and a million times worse than Nixon, who only covered up a political break - in.

President Johnson had at the time a habit of recording all of his phone conversations, and newly released tapes from 1968 detailed that the FBI had “bugged” the telephones of the South Vietnamese ambassador and of Anna Chennault, one of Nixon’s aides. Based on the tapes, says Taylor for the BBC, we learn that in the time leading up to the Paris Peace talks, “Chennault was despatched to the South Vietnamese embassy with a clear message: the South Vietnamese government should withdraw from the talks, refuse to deal with Johnson, and if Nixon was elected, they would get a much better deal.”
