Nixon was a class act in not tearing down JFK, LBJ etc to make himself look better. He actually looked better for not doing it. Modern politicians should take note.

[SigmundS]

Nixon was incredibly articulate without being pompous. Warm as well.

[seijiamasawa]

I admire how Nixon always talks about the good side of his political opponents. Cant find that nowadays.

[barryonuora]

Nixon sounds so analytical and poetic what an intelligent man.

[tbc]

I love listening to Nixon speak. I could listen all day.

[Mark-yypy]

That’s why LBJ died of a heart attack at 64. He looked like he was 80.

[sputnikspinoza]

Gracious to a fault. Nixon the intellectual gentlemen.

[ethtfxk]

Fascinating how observant this man was. Whenever he talks about people he comes with deep insights.

Watching these videos I realize Nixon was indeed charming and a great story teller.

I was a kid in California when Nixon was in office. Politics and controversy Aside, I did like his use of vocabulary in interviews like this. Good vocabulary is getting rare, especially in public office.

I've been watching these Nixon posts for a bit now, and, one thing I've noticed, is that he rarely, if ever, says anything bad about other people. My appreciation of him has grown quite a bit since I've been watching these.

Nixon seemed very gracious towards his political opponents. LBJ was actually a bully, often times crude, and had a Machiavellian streak when it came to dealing with his political opponents.

[vincentmartinez]

Nixon was quite the gentleman when he gave interviews. Very insightful and gracious with his perspectives!

[billybob]

I respect the fact that Nixon was just giving his personal assessment of Johnson, and not trying to speak for others.

[indianajones]

With how active this channel is, sometimes I think Nixon is still alive

[hikewithmike]

Nixon was a class act describing his political rivals..you dont see that anymore

[DesertLake]

His insights about the characters of men are profound. He thought quite a bit about other people. Today, politicians magnify themselves, leaving little room for insecurity and the quiet observations of the people that surround them.

[phaedrabacker]

I think Nixon was being generous with his kind words.

[robl]

Hearing Nixon interviewed with his responses….its always the same with me, I see and hear an intelligent man who gave a shit and truly had things he wanted to get done. It’s not a flashy show or attention seeking. It’s honest answers, and respect for others. To think what he was brought down for in comparison to today’s Government….jeez. We let a good one go folks, and we are worse for it.
