If ever there was an example of breach of the public trust, if ever there was a demonstration of political leaderships shortcomings, it was President Richard M. Nixon and the Watergate scandal. Yet Bob Woodward, the journalist who broke the story on Watergate, has acknowledged that Nixon had some large achievements in foreign affairs. Even American sociologist and pastor Tony Campolo has claimed that on the domestic front, Richard Nixon was good for the poor people of America.
Speaking of political leaderships shortcomings, North Carolinians just learned a former member of the North Carolina House, who was chairman of the powerful House Rules Committee, will not likely do any jail time for his crime of misusing campaign donations to help prop up his struggling farm. I know this man, and I can tell you that I believe he is a good man and has done much for the Tar Heel state despite his crime.
