You could tell how much his heart was broken and the love he had for her. I remember watching her funeral on TV and feeling so sad for him. It broke my heart 💔
She was a great lady and will be remembered for her strength during those horrible days in the White House, where the press was relentless toward the President.
The big disappointment was that Nixon failed to end the Vietnam War .. Vietnam and Watergate ruined him , sad to say .. We believed him at the time when he stated he was going to end the Vietnam war We believed him at the time when he stated he was not a crook concerning Watergate .. It turned out we believed in a man that was not credible , sad to say
RIP, Ms. Pat. Your Husband only saw in the World what we are seeing now and tried to keep our Country safe. Love your sweet Family and thank you for your Service.
I never appreciated what a feisty, accomplished and truly independent Pat Nixon was before her marriage. Her back story is a fascinating one. Had she been born at a later date, she probably could have been elected president in her own right!
@@retroguy9494he also had just lost her the previous year so I think that played into it. Many life long spouses find it difficult to go on without their loved one.
Jennie is very beautiful and she looks so much like Julie. Thank you for remembering Mrs. Nixon. I grew up in San Clemente and always hoped to see her out and about, but I never did. I was able to see and speak to President Nixon twice, at the Mexican restaurant, El Adobe de Capistrano, both times in 1977 when I was a kid.
Nixon would have made a great used car salesman... He had a great skill set for that, not in a leadership role. How does his speeches not make you gag... All those dramatic pauses and stares... Nixon was an insecure man.
He was very self centered man who was supported by his Pat. He did not listen when she advised him to burn those tapes and they ruined him in the end. She was the rock of that family. I have learned all the wonderful things she did in her quiet way without fanfare. She was a graceful woman who did her very best while being in the White House.
Judy Evancic Did you see the interview when RN recalled the day he resigned? His main memory was noticing that Pat had stiff neck discomfort but still managed to be cheerful. Not the thoughts of a self-centered man, but a husband and father who earned the unqualified love of his family.
I will pick Richard Nixon anytime than the present one in the WH. He had personal character flaws, like anybody else, but he had the intelligence in Foreign Policy to make America Greater.
He committed crimes as president and would have been impeached had he not resigned and most likely would have had charges brought against him had Ford not pardoned him. The current president has committed no crimes that we know of for sure.
@@mediolanumhibernicus3353 Personifies corruption? Just WHAT did he do that is so corrupt? He told it like it was in MY opinion. You may not like his policies of "America first" or his brash "in your face" businessman style, but that's what we voted for. As for crimes, I'm STILL waiting. Everyone said it would all come out after January 21. Nothing yet. It would appear to ME that now that he's out of office, they're turning their attention to Andrew Cuomo. He's the NEXT guy they want gone! At least Mr. Trump was never accused of groping W.H. staff members!
@@retroguy9494 trump was accused of groping and much more but paid off his accusers. Nevertheless, sooner or later this will come out. Your phrase ‘he told it as it was..’ is effectively meaningless as he basically says different lies to different people on different occasions based on whatever serves his short-time needs. But it’s not the groping, the grifting, the nepotism, the racism, the antisemitism that offends most, it’s the sheer relentless opportunism, the tendency to do or say anything that will advance him at any given moment, and the sheer gullibility of his followers who select the things they want to hear from the verbal diarrhoea he produces daily and support him on this basis, without realizing that he is capable of saying everything and its opposite in an arc of 24 hours. He believes in nothing and in nobody. He has reduced the USA to a laughing-stock and the Whitehouse may never fully recover from the stain he has placed on what was once one of the most respected offices in the world. Don’t bother responding, you’re in the cult-phase and are blindly following this madman. I do pity you. Perhaps with time you will realise, and it will be a great shock for you. Perhaps best to sleep on comfy and comatose in your delusions.
@@mediolanumhibernicus3353 You don't want me to answer because its YOU who are delusional and don't want me to call you on it. But I feel I MUST. Trump may have grabbed women. I say 'may' because' no self respecting woman who has been violated takes a payout in lieu of charges or lawsuits. But he was NEVER accused of doing that as president. The subject of this thread is PRESIDENTS. Not what they did before they became president. Even so, sleepy Joe has been accused of the same thing! Even old man Bush grabbed that woman's ass from his wheelchair! Why do THEY get a pass? Because they aren't Donald Trump? Now, you call Trump a racist and an anti Semite. Well, he has Jewish grandchildren who he loves and dotes on constantly. Two of his three wives were immigrants. His first campaign manager was a black woman. He has hired all kinds of minorities to work in his companies. I don't know where YOU went to school, but that doesn't sound racist and anti Semitic to ME! As for being an opportunist who will say anything to further themselves, name me ONE modern president (with maybe the exception of Reagan) who has NOT been one or done that? Finally, as far as the White House being a laughing stock, if bringing manufacturing back to the U.S., proving North America can be less dependent on middle eastern oil by building a pipeline thus causing a reduction in gas prices, helping to create jobs, reducing taxes for even the middle classes, making our allies pay their fare share of world policing, getting us into more equal trade agreements, pardoning people (many of whom were black) who were given long jail sentences for minor drug offenses and building a wall to keep out criminal illegals are all a laughing stock then I want to keep on laughing!
Oh yes. People with high morals slander other people just to win an election, break into other peoples offices and have mistresses on the side. Old Nixon had high moral alright! 🤣
@@retroguy9494 You don't know that, shouldn't you be somewhere picking on President Trump, that's all you trolls ever do. Libtards, you're all the same, yawn.
Im so glad they can reverse stroke affects if u get treatment without no more than 2 hrs after the first stroke symptoms occur! My 35 year old son is having strokes again! So im living with stroke issues again! His first possible stroke was at age 6!
Maybe compared to Bush, Trump, and Carter... But if we're comparing him to Raegan, Clinton, and Obama? God no. Say what you want about the three I just named, but they all produced some good for our country. Nixon's legacy will be tarnished in today's day and age for two reasons; the War on Drugs and the Watergate Scandal. You cannot erase those two pieces of Nixon's presidency.
Incidentally, the mansion in San Clemente that Nixon used as his Western White House and which served as his "Elba" following his forced resignation is on the market. The asking price is a whopping $75M.
He was..one of the greatest Presidents...had a heart for our nation and people.. Your statement does not hold water...we all err in Judgement..we are imperfect people..God Knows our frame..He uses the weak things of the world to confound the wise 1 Corinthians 1:27 King James Version 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: Need to think before you speak All presidents had faults An example is John Kennedy Were just like Dad ..womanizers..adulterers Yet ..know ..but hushed Instead to do this used theterm " Camelot" for his image Plesse examine everything..stop wiyh believing everything in the corrupted news Reading about Richard Nixions background I believe he repented ...❤❤❤❤❤
+Jane Doe As president yes, he was a creep, but so do most presidents that came before and after him. As a man however, not quite a creep. He was a family man who loved to play with his grandchildren.
