Not quite sure what you mean by effective.  His approval ratings went up 12 points so it did have an impact.  I thought it was a good speech.

Bush at this point since Richard Nixon is dead and gone. Nixon at least loved America, and admitted his wrong doings, and was impeached, and resigned for his corruption to the American people. Bush will never admit it, you will see..

The Wikipedia is a good place to start as it often has very good links to other sites.  In addition, check out the Nixon Library site and the Nixon Presidential archives\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Nixon\nhttp://nixon.archives.gov/index.php\nhttp://www.nixonfoundation.org/

Well never know.\n\nFrom what I read, people didn't believe Nixon could have known about that watergate thing.

I'd say from least to most popular...\n\n1. George W. Bush\n2. Jimmy Carter\n3. Bill Clinton\n4. George H. W. Bush\n5. Ronald Regan\n\n2, 3, and 4 are open for moving around, but I think that 1 and 5 are pretty solid.  Before you "W" fans start singing praises about non-existent accomplishments....  NO President in my lifetime has EVER divided the country the way he has.  NO President in my lifetime has EVER had such a low approval rating.  In fact, I think no President ever has had such a low approval rating, my lifetime or not.

Nixon wasn't impeached, he resigned for spying on his political opponents.\n\nThe Bush administration is monitoring terrorist communications and, when they contact someone in the USA, they investigate that person also.\n\nSame thing the cops do in drug busts and prostitution rings.\n\nThis is just more Bush bashing.

LBJ was overly obsessed with his own popularity. He idolized F.D. Roosevelt and LBJ wanted to be just as popular as FDR had been. I read about this in an article which said that, one day, LBJ was walking down a corridor in the White House with reporters and, as the group passed a bust of FDR, Lyndon stopped, reached out his hand to caress the cheek of FDR, murmurred, "Such strong features," and then continued walking down the hall.\n\nBut, of course, he wasn't as popular. Sure, he won a landslide in 1964, but that could be attributed as much to weaknesses of Barry Goldwater as to the "strengths" of LBJ. One irony of his life is that, before he got into politics, he was a high school teacher who taught public speaking, and yet he himself was a lousy speaker -- so stiff, poorly delivered, and insincere. And even though he had some major accomplishments on the domestic policy front, acomplishments which should have won him major plaudits from his own party, instead he was hated by his own party for his Vietnam policy.\n\nI can't imagine that he'll ever rate very highly among the Presidents.\n\nI rarely talk about G.W. Bush.

Cause:  Political greed and personal paranoia on behalf of President Nixon, (who has never been credited with ending the Vietnam war, and opening relations with china).\n\nEffect:  Overzealous prosecution for protecting his political friends for lying about a crime that was petty in nature.  It all ended when he was prosecuted by congress, and with dignity, resigned his elected office.

Nixon was the first to use it during the Watergate Scandal. It was created by Dulles, director of the CIA. As far as I know it hasn't been used lately but who knows...odds are best it is though

Not really, the made jokes about President Carter they called him the peanut farmer. \n\nThey also made fun of Harry S. Truman, they didn't think he was educated enough to become president after president Franklin Roosevelt died. As a matter of fact he was Franklin Roosevelt's Vice President and was not even told the United States was on the verge of the atomic bomb that is how much President Franklin thought of him. Gen Douglas MacArthur almost showed disdain for him. President Truman had to eventually relieve him of his duties.\n\nRichard Nixon had a lower approval rating than President Bush and was eventually disgraced, he left his office before being impeached.\n\nThey laughed at Calvin Coolidge and called him slow Cal.\n\nThey called Taft fat Taft as he was the largest President we have ever had in office as far as weight is concerned.\n\nSo you can see there have been many presidents that had unfavorable stances with the public. \n\nIn some instances we did not have rapid media news as we have today, so it took awhile for the news to reach certain parts of the country.\n\nI hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.\n\n"FIGHT ON"

President Herbert Hoover entered office to much acclaim.  Aside from satirists, the majority of the American public liked him, mostly because of his humanitarian work in China, Europe, and Russia.  Hoover was believed to know the answers to all questions.  However the stock market crash of October 1929 proved all of Hoover’s supporters to be wrong.\n\nHoover was the last president of the triple republican 1920s.  He was to take over after Harding and Coolidge, two men who did nothing and are regarded as some of America’s worst presidents.  Thus, all Harding really had to do was surpass Coolidge’s apathy a small bit to gain the approval of the public.\n\nThe stock market crash proved Hoover’s inability to be the president.  He was not successful in attempting to end the depression.  The Hawley-Smoot Tariff simply magnified the problem, and spread the depression to other countries.  The Reconstruction Finance Corporation was not as successful as could have been imagined.\n\nIn addition, it is essential to realize that Hoover’s name was detestably used to describe the effects of the Depression.  Hoovervilles (slums built by the unemployed), Hooverflags (empty inside-out pockets), and Hooverblankets (using newspapers as blankets).  This indicates that Hoover was not well liked by the people after the Depression hit.\n\nThe manner in which Hoover handled the Bonus Army was very distasteful.  Although the veterans were protesting in an unruly manner, it is never appropriate for a president to order the military to attack veterans.  The entire ordeal was poorly handled, and is a huge demerit when considering Hoover’s overall rating.\n\nFinally, Hoover was unable to improve the economy while the depression was still in its early stages.  Instead, he passed laws which did little, if anything to help ease the problem. Sometimes, as in the case of the Hawley-Smoot Tariff, Hoover actually ended up hurting America further.  Basically, Hoover was not able to employ apathy like his predecessor, but his actions were unsuccessful.\n\nBasically, Hoover was a president who was unable to control the problems which were occurring in the country.  He failed to heal the social problems which he hoped to as entering office.  As a whole, his administration was a failure.  He was not able to continue to do worldwide humanitarian work like before his presidency because the United States was in such bad condition.  For all of the aforementioned reasons, I believe Herbert Hoover was not a very effective president.  He is somewhat redeemed (for two points) because he was widely lauded as an excellent president when he was elected, and he did a little bit of good before the Great Depression crippled the nation.

Every country outside the US hates his guts more than I can put in words. Then again, he's hated here too. Nixon may have been hated on a national scale, but Bush takes it global. He been arguably the most ridiculed and parodied president in history. His face is burned regularly in the middle east and south America, and everyone in Europe thinks of him and Blair as two bumbling idiots. I could go on, but it would be too much.

Ostensibly to try to shore up support for the war.  Perhaps he will even do as pretty much EVERYONE has been demanding and admit a bit more responsiblity for mistaken decisions.\n\nIf he does, I will immediately draw a correlation between his behavior and that of President Nixon when faced with a powerful anti-war campaign... to say things to assuage the most vehement protesters while continuing present policy virtually unchanged.

Both of these Presidents have been extremely misunderstood.  However Nixon was caught in absolute lies and a cover up of criminal activities.  Had he not resigned he would have surely been impeached and after he resigned had he not been pardoned he would have still been impeached.  Nixon did do some very important things while in the job.  He opened the doors to Communist China and ended our participation in the War in Viet Nam.   Bush has been accussed of lying to the American People in order to go to war in Iraq, he has not been accused of lying to Congress in order to get the approval to do so.  All parties had the same Intelligence and the same vote was taken by Congress in 1998 while Clinton was President with the same Intelligence then as well.  Nixon did in fact lie to the American People for which he later paid a heavy price as well as apoligize to the American People.  However it is not against the law to lie to the American Public if it were then our prisons would be full of politicians that ran for office.  Whereas I believe that President Bush if he did in fact lie was not aware that what he was saying was not the truth at the time he said it.  Nixon did know and did it anyway.  The WMD question will haunt all of us for years to come, if they don't end up in the hands of a terrorist group as is thought what has happened in Amann, Jordan within the past few weeks in a plot that was foiled by the same intelligence that we complain about President Bush abusing our rights by listening to our International calls and e-mails.\n\nAfter Nixon resigned the office of President of the U.S. he was considered the most hated man in history in polls that were done at that time.  This pushed Adolph Hitler to number two for the first time in over 30 years.  When Nixon died there were people lined up for Eight Miles to walk by and pay their respects to a man who had once been President.  I believe that History is going to prove the Bush was right, however it may be a few years after he is out of office before that happens.  We here in America always seem to complain about the President that we have at the time and love them when the are retired.

Many historians think that he's the worst in SOME AREAS.  For instance, his handling of the environment has been deemed the worst, and that even George Washington had more regard for the environment.  His tax policies that benefit mostly the rich are also extreme, in that they make Nixon look like a flaming liberal.  I think he has mis-handled the war in Iraq, but we also had Vietnam in recent history.  It is all a matter of opinion, and my opinion is that he definitely isn't the BEST president we've ever had.  And one can truly make the argument that he was put there by his peers so they (Rumsfeld, Rice, Cheney, etc) could run the country.  I actually feel pretty sorry for him, because I think he's just a simple guy that got in too deep.
