Graham Boone- The President Calling

I listened to the first 15 minutes of Nixon's speech in reference to the Watergate Scandal. This was really the first time I had listened in depth to any of Nixon's speeches. After hearing about how untrustworthy and terrible of a president Nixon was, it was quite interesting to me to hear him talk in such a sincere manner about this topic. I felt as though the entire time he was being almost too sincere or open about the whole scandal. Even though he acted as though he as the leader of the country was to ultimately blame for the incident, he was really deflecting the blame to those below him. I found his speech to be a less than admiral effort to put the Watergate Scandal on the back burner.
