There are a couple reports I think of him like breaking up a fight or something minor like that that is just mind boggling... Like somewhere out there is an old man on his death bed, rambling about the time Elvis swooped in like spiderman and saved them from getting roughed up.

    History has been changed to reflect Nixon's legacy over the years. He was one of the most popular Presidents while in office. He actually did beat Kennedy the first time. Kennedy stole a lot of votes in Hawaii, to a point where the Electors sent delegates to disavow Kennedy and elect Nixon. The President of the Senate, aka The Vice President, could have accepted the Nixon Electors and given Nixon the win. Guess who was the VP? It was Nixon. He felt that if he had become President this way, it would tear the country apart, so he took the hit. All of the Watergate burglars were CIA. CIA didn't like him, especially since he told them he knew they killed JFK. So, they made sure to get "caught" to implicate Nixon. Deep Throat was CIA. Bob Woodward had also worked with the CIA in the past. Everything you know is a lie.
