Was Nixon a Good President ?

No. I don't think Nixon was a good enough president because although he helped restore our country in desperate times, he was secretive and kept important information to himself. He didn't care about what people thought about him and was even considered racist for not helping out in the racial equality movement. I also kind of hate him because he was a conformist and liked the idea of conformity, which I hate and even protested against the counter culture. To make things worse, he had an enemies list and took it a step further by wire tapping peoples phones. This isn't president behavior. In the end, people started realizing what he was doing and his crime became known so he quit because he obviously couldn't deal with the critisism he was getting from people. Nixon is only one example in my opinion of how corrupt the government is and im certain that Nixon wasn't the first or last president to pull off illegal stunts.
