Nixon does a good job here of diverting the fact based conversation up to that point and introducing a more humane emotional side to the story. In the process he is clearly blaming H and E for everything, exonerating himself but passing it off as an emotionally sad time for him personally having to fire them. Its a clear attempt to divert Frost and the viewer from his own Guilt.

Nixon's recount of 'firing' staff...LIES!!!!

@inhisgrace007 I'm surprised someone would think Langella didn't do a good job in Frost/NIxon, I personally thought it was an Oscar performance without a doubt. He has a very characteristic voice which he may be unable to change, but there was so much depth to his portrayal that i think it's completely irrelevant that he looks so different or didn't manage to exactly mirror his mannerism (of which not much is seen in this interview anyway)

@Stube437 , People were tired of the Democratic party at that time because Johnson had walked away defeated though in my opinion he was a great president. Nixon saw his chance then in 68 to run, and you should know that with our country it is often the case that the parties trade the white house you could say every 8 years. Very unusual when a party is in power for more than eight years straight.

@inhisgrace007 It was a dramatization. Honestly, if it was exactly like the interviews, what would the point be? We could just come and watch these instead.

@Stube437 ..Do you really not know your history? People were frustrated with the democrats because the war blew up in Johnsons face and destroyed his presidency. You should know that it has been shown throughout U.S History that it usually ends up being one party for eight years and then the other for eight years. People wanted a change. I am a liberal but i cannot deny this fact.

@chaosrex1487 oh yeah. I forgot about that. I still don't think it'd be a factor in how people chose to vote.
-
@Stube437 What cave have you been living in? Johnson chose not to run in 1968 for reasons you should already know, end of story.
