August 9, 1974



33 years ago today, Richard Nixon resigned as president of the USA. But was he worse than the current president?
“Indeed, Bush puts Nixon into a more favorable light. He has trashed the image and reputation of the United States throughout the world; he has offended many of our previously close allies; he has burdened future generations with incredible debt; he has created an unnecessary war to further his domestic political objectives; he has suborned the civil rights of our citizens; he has destroyed previous environmental efforts by government in favor of his coterie of exploiters; he has surrounded himself with a cabal ideological adventurers . . . .”

There's no question Bush is worse. At least Nixon had a little progress on other agendas, like relations with China and the Clean Air Act. Bush's assault on the Constitution is far more thorough than Nixon's, whose actions were mostly self-serving.
