"The Inaugural Story - 1969" - Inauguration of Richard Nixon

[@sambradley2975]

"The Greatest honor history can bestow is the title of peacemaker "- Richard Nixon.

[@BHill-rz9tg]

That's his epitaph.

[@garryharriman7349]

Irony personified!

[@johnnotrealname8168]

​@@garryharriman7349He did get peace.

[@sambradley2975]

"We cannot learn from one another until we stop shouting at one another ", definitely timely words.

[@vyfahrizal]

So many vice presidents in this video~ 👏 36. Vice President Nixon (DDE) 37. Vice President Johnson (JFK) 38. Vice President Humphrey (LBJ) 39. Vice President Agnew (RMN) 40. Vice President Ford (RMN)

[@atomicspid2129]

41. Vice President Nelson Rockefeller (Gerald Ford) 4:33 and then future 40th President Ronald Reagan

[@sambradley2975]

50 years ago tomorrow, Richard Milhous Nixon became the 37th President of the United States. Great President who did a lot for this country.

[@bubbahogg-buga4613]

ya sure.

[@unassistedsuicide2243]

He was a paranoid, alcoholic, corrupt war criminal.

[@johnnotrealname8168]

A wonderful presentation. His inauguration was well delivered.

[@donald_the_savage1234]

4:37 Ronald Reagan.

[@eduardonoelcasciano9266]

And Nelson Rockeffeler.

[@noelcasciano6657]

Great president Nixon

[@lukehauser1182]

No fan of Dick Nixon - but greatly appreciate the Nixon Library!

[@morticindavis9410]

I believe I was in 6th or 7th grade when Nixon was sworn in as President. We had a substitute teacher that day because our teacher Mrs Hamer went to Washington for the Inauguration festivities she was Democrat but said she always wanted to go to an Inauguration so she decided to go. She had so many pictures on a slide that she showed us when she returned. She said she got to see Nixon and Pat in their limousine on the Parade route.

[@shikat2371]

The first, and only, president ever to be forced out of office, Richard Nixon was a tragic figure. He had hundreds of associates, thousands of acquaintances. Most of these people admired him and many of them appreciated the opportunities he had opened up for them. But only a few ever really liked him. Even with close friends, there was distance. Nixon wasn't the type of guy you would want to go hiking, fishing, or backpacking with. Nearly every reporter who has covered Nixon commented that he was very smart but he also had a stunted personality. He couldn't deal with people, was never good at small talk

[@NaturalMuscleSF]

Incredible to see the man at 9:20 who will take both the Vice President-elect's job and then the President-elect's job within five years of this day.

[@johnkeller6063]

Mike McLaughlin very true and strange

[@landochabod7]

Mike You can see him much earlier at 2:02

[@albertkundrat9227]

His words and thoughts have outlived his failures for others to pick them up an go from there.

[@dennisholst4322]

He could control the controllers

[@dennisholst4322]

Maybe they didn't like that

[@lukesherman8633]

4:31 president Regan

[@schrollG]

Lmonny Just 12 more years until your turn, Governor Reagan!

[@rogerma7831]

The interpreter's English is just perfect, no accent whatsoever.

[@sambradley2975]

Gerald Ford, who was a part of the Inaugural Committee would succeed both Agnew & Nixon.

[@dennisholst4322]

That is when money went somewhere

[@JacobSnell1998]

He can be seen right after the swearing in

[@RADIUMGLASS]

4:57 Michigan Governor George Romney. As soon as he was offered a cabinet position in the Nixon Administration he bailed out of the state. The riots were in 1967 and by leaving, he didn't have to deal with that situation anymore. He was also influential in destroying Hudson Motors.

[@ВладиславГерасименко-л4г]

No thanks. Bitch.

[@joellopez7776]

I thought Nixon made a good speech because it was about peace!

[@blinkzone1]

+Joel Lopez Only later to find out Nixon did not achieve his ultimate dream as "Peacemaker".

[@jack09505]

blinkzone1 Thanks to Watergate and a hostile liberal media. Nixon was closer than any other President and it's not even close. Just look up what the Soviets, Russians, Middle Eastern nations, and Israel wrote about him. History will do this man justice, someday.

[@connorharris5571]

He was great his first term, he was about to be declared best president of the United States but then the watergate scandal happened he resigned and Gerald Ford took over. Spiro agnew resigned exactly after watergate went under investigation.

So sad: Earl Warren really did not want to inaugurate Nixon and tried to retire early in 1968 to get out of it.

[@chrismcevoy2503]

He was President Of The United States the year I was born in 1974.

He was president when I was a senior in high school in 1974.

It should have been RFK giving his inaugural address that day

[@sambradley2975]

RFK wouldn't have acted any different. RFK, like Lincoln, wasn't the saint that Liberals like to portray. Who knows how he would have acted had he lived & been President? Liberals still have their RFK fantasy of what they think he might have been.

[@BillyBob-ec5ox]

It’s amazing how Obama can intentionally leave American diplomats to die, and then purposely attempt to cover up the reason for their deaths. But Nixon got heat for trying to cover up an act of STEALING PAPERS. As if that’s anywhere close to the worst that a President has ever done. Lol. That’s Democrats for you.

Timely words. " We cannot learn from one another until we stop shouting at one another ". I wish Trump echoed that statement at his inauguration.

[@sambradley2975]

He was a very clever man. He had a photographic memory.

[@sambradley2975]

Great President! A man who brought peace to millions, who got us out of Vietnam, ended the Draft, opened Red China, defused tensions between us and The Soviet Union, pushed for Mideast Peace, & paved the way for the Mideast Peace accords that would occur in Carter's administration.

[@sambradley2975]

Nixon rapidly desegregated schools, created the EPA, signed The Clean Air, Clean Water Act, declared war on Cancer.

[@sergezor]

And some people stupidly compare him to the stable genius who is now in the White. Trump and Nixon is like small dirty pool and Shining Star. The contribution of Nixon to the humanity history and the United States is really tremendous and extraordinary.
