Emma Hale - President Calling

For the President Calling assignment I chose to listen to Richard Nixon speaking on the phone with John Mitchell. In contrast to one of the other clips of Nixon speaking to the nation regarding the Watergate Scandal, his tone is considerably different. He is much more open with his emotions, especially regarding the media and how the attitude of the people affect him as a President. He is very straightforward with his words, there is no hidden or double meaning that can be read into. Nixon must feel safer in this kind of environment, causing him to let down his guard and reveal how he truly feels about the issues surrounding him.
