Real Richard Nixon: PAT (1) - Love at First Sight & Dating

[peacefrog0521]

If I had to sit and talk for 38 hours, I think I'd do it on a couch in my sweatpants & socks.

Nixon's love for his wife and daughters is really sweet. As awkward and flawed a man he was, he seems to have been a devoted husband and father.

[FusionHoldings]

A great, flawed, but ultimately great man. Sometime right, sometimes wrong but always a great leader. No one lifes a faultless life and this was true of Richard Nixon but as a man he inspires me! God Bless Nixon and may he rest with the greatest of men!

Real Love!

I cannot help but to feel sorry for this man. He was sooooo awkward. Bright, I think, but very uneasy.

[Greg111076]

@drf38z I think he had social anxiety, or SA. LOTS of people are afflicted with it. Myself included, so I can empathize. In Nixons case, having such a high profile, with every move scrutinized, (and this has to be admitted) often with open hositlity. The media cannot deny that they harbored more dislike for this man than almost any other American politician. How else can one explain all the unkind ad hominem attacks on his person? He's more likeable, in that he cared what we thought of him.

Love him or hate him Richard and Pat Nixon made a great couple

[Ulysses61]

What is not being disclosed is that Nixon was paid 1.2 million dollars for these supposedly "private" interviews. He was more open about Pat and various other matters because he was being paid big money for being "candid."

[suzyxc1423]

@Ulysses61 Why not do an interview to tell the world about someone you love? & if there is money attached it makes no difference. You can't fake your feelings and love for someone. Don't tell me you would refuse that for someone you love to pay tribute to them? :)

[lukafafrenz]

@Ulysses61 oh, stop being so cynical -- all that money was used to buy 24 000 cocker spaniels!

[TwilightLink37]

This might sound stupid, but I wonder if Pat ever saw this. I hope she did, because what Nixon said at 00:20 was sweet :)

[ZiggyStardust35]

@TwilightLink37 Indeed it was.  A very sweet answer...

[omid145]

@TwilightLink37 Yes, she would have seen it. This was from 1983, she died in 1993.

beautiful interview, don't you have one of Adolf Hitler too? If we're going to portray these mother fuckers with a background piano and images of roses, why not go all the way? Stalin would be nice too.

[fox9ninja]

You're comparing him to Hitler and Stalin? That's incredibly moronic. Besides Watergate, he was one of the best presidents of the 20th century. Yes, Watergate was terrible, but even though he was president he was still human, humans make mistakes. He did more for this country than your insignificant being will ever do.

[pikeymutt]

@fox9ninja That's overwhelmingly true. Ignorant Liberals and agnostics are the culprits who usually dog him with no foundation of reasoning. It seems he was just too damn smart, and too much of a patriot, and he did not want to lose such an office.

Great Great interview. Thank you!!

[slgnss]

[Prudentissimum]
