Nixon by Nixon: In His Own Words

This documentary, to me, was a good as any episode of House of Cards, and it gives a very interesting view of the office of the presidency. The reality that this movie makes plain, is 100 times worse than just Watergate. (Perhaps I still hold too much optimism in our government?) However, Nixon's own phone recordings and comments show the most unethical and corrupt president I could have possibly imagined until now. I challenge anyone to watch this documentary thoroughly and prove otherwise.

I am positive, further back through the years, other presidents have performed worse actions. But, the fact that all this was taped is what makes this extremely mind-blowing. I cannot for the life of me, wonder why Nixon would have been stupid enough to record all of these conversations. He left his footprints all over the numerous crime scenes. I didn't think I'd really enjoy this one, but I was instantly glued!

On Nixon on Nixon documentary - A film clip of "Air Force One" from the Harrison Ford movie by the same name is shown - a 747 with its tail shot to hell. Needless to say that was not Nixon's AF1. Bad flub.

Nixon in his own words. Maybe I was just excited that I thought I had found a documentary that wasn't just another Nixon hater special.. I was wrong. I'm not saying that the film is false info.. It's just that the tapes get old. Anytime he says something inappropriate, it's after something horrible had just happened. Nobody wants every conversation they've ever had, played for the entire world to hear.

This documentary is all Oval Office conversations.
