#1 On the other hand, Nixon was a competent politician.

#2 On the other hand, Nixon actually got some shit done and improved some things before he resigned.

#3 Please don't compare him to Nixon or Carter. Jeez, Obama is in a class of his own - with no transcript available either.

#4 Zero passed Nixon years ago and has continued his downward trajectory.

Just let me know when he wants to put the SS in Duchy of Fenwick uniforms; or will he go for the Black Panther beret look?

#5 Nixon, for all his faults, loved America. Champ really doesn't.

#6 * Failure to uphold the Constitution, moreover, attempts to circumvent the Constitution
* Use of other agencies, in addition to the IRS to intimidate or punish individuals and organizations (EPA, Bureau of Land Management, etc.)
* Trying to find ways to circumvent Congress
* Mounting Fast and Furious which resulted in the death of an American citizens and a number of Mexican citizens

Far surpassed Nixon.

#7 When Mr. Obama faces the same level of vituperation and ridicule from the Left and the media (but I repeat myself) that Nixon did, then we'll talk comparison.

#8 Obama makes Nixon look like a Boy Scout.

I look at it this way: Nixon had the decency to resign. Clinton didn't. Obama wouldn't.

#9 The corruption of Nixon wrapped in the incompetance of Carter. He really is in a class all by himself.

#10 The media will pile on Obama a few days after he leaves office. The leftist will be falling over themselves to make a name for themselves by knocking him down after the fact. It is what they do.

#11 Well there are differences between Hussein and Milhouse. Foreign policy competence for one thing. Press carrying water for another -- compare press treatment of Obama to Nixon, its laughable if it weren't such a public disaster.

#12 A pimple on Nixon's a$$, maybe.

#13 RJS, that's a comparison that I've been making since 2009.

I've always thought that this would be Nixonian character wrapped in Carter's incompetence and class. I "hoped" that I was wrong, but if anything it has been worse.

I still can't believe that he was elected AGAIN in 2012, hence my fatalistic pessimism for the future.

#14 Mr. Obama is an extremely interesting study, the result of a lifetime of being told how wonderful he was. He has never had a moment of painful introspection and now has people to do that for him. And they all tell him how wonderful he is. But the American public gave a no-ambiguity evaluation this Tuesday past.

And now he's pissed but with the constraints, hopefully, of a loyally opposing Senate.

If, IMHO, you think the past 6-years have been a ride, just wait. We are soon to see the results of a King first realizing he is not clothed.
