Its amazing how I grew up with Nixon being portrayed by the media as a joke but when I hear him speak or read his words he seems more articulate and well reasoned than any american president of my lifetime (the last 30 years)

This man was a MASTER of foreign relations and policy. Every single statement of his posted here on YT, is literally...SPOT ON.

When was the last time you heard a president extemporaneously speak so clearly and articulately about a difficult and complicated subject? What makes this press conference even more amazing is the fact that Nixon was fully preoccupied with the Watergate affair at this time.

[alexberezovsky]

Without a doubt the smartest foreign policy President this country ever had..

[shanti]

When leaders were bright and had vision

[Doobydoobydoo]

Is it possible for the Nixon Foundation to release these press conferences in full? It’s a wonderful historical peek into The President’s thinking on so many pressing and relevant issues. Thank you for the content!

What a great articulate President who can manage world crises. Oh how far we have fallen...

[aidentheastronaut]

Very interesting watching 50 years later, considering a very similar predicament is going on in the Mideast right now…

[Chappi]

You don't see such diplomacy these days.

[cybertaiga]

Very nicely articulated by President Nixon. Hard to even imagine such a clear statement from any new politicians (no matter how good they are diplomatically and intellectually). We live in a deeply polarised world. Can you think of another American president talking about Russia as a rival all right but also as another superpower country you could negotiate and talk to?

If not for watergate he'd have been a top 10 president.

My goodness Biden couldn’t express himself so well when he was 35! RMN was at his best when discussing foreign policy!

[isaiahashe]

Trump cannot be compared to Nixon, even in verbal articulation and communication.

[ShyJim]

He’s so much more intelligent than the current occupant of the White House.

[capuchinfriarsusa]

A very underestimated and most unfairly treated president.

[sassansalamat]

Just compare Nixon's way of speaking (sharp & clear) and breaking down the issue to Biden & how he speaks & or breaks down an issue!?!
(Biden looks lost & confused) R.i.p. President Nixon (1 of the best presidents this country has had)

[jackco]

He would have beaten McGovern soundly in 1972 without Watergate. That is his tragedy.

[ChairmanMeow]

Could use this thinking and reasoning right about now...

[MrNU]

If only he were here for us today. God rest his soul. Our greatest president.

It is too bad Mr Nixon had such significant personal problems.
