"When I think about Nixon, I get sort of nostalgic - he had his problems, but if you look at policies, he would come out well to the left of Obama."

Nixon was a paranoid, twisted asshole - but not a bad president overall, at least compared to the one's that followed. I hated him at the time. Which has me backing off on getting too down on Obama. The question should be, "compared to what"? Compared the the last (R) president, Obama is just FINE.
