I watched the Barbara Walters special and I was happy to see Frank Langella  on her list. I like him much better now that he’s older, but I’ve seen him in so many things over the years that I couldn’t possibly name. Of course the way he looks always stood out, but for me he became more interesting and attractive the older he got and I can’t wait to see his new movie Frost/Nixon and I hope he wins an Oscar. I have always thought that Nixon was a great politician.

I honestly felt bad for Nixon and I don’t believe he was the only president to ever go over the line, he just happened to get caught. I always get Watergate and Westgate mixed up in my mind for some reason, but you have to remember it was back in 1972-1974 and my son was only 4 years old when President Nixon resigned. I happen to be one of the few people that I know who actually liked Nixon and was glad when Gerald Ford pardoned him.

I also liked President Reagan, but those are the only two that I have ever really been behind 100% and it doesn’t matter to me what anyone says about Nixon he will always be my favorite. I thought Nixon and Kissinger who was secretary of state made a great team and I was glad to see him endorse McCain last year even though we all know the results now. At least I know how he felt about the election we were facing and he thought McCain was the better choice.

Hopefully Obama and Clinton as the new secretary of state will be able to help us in the next 4 years…hopefully, but I don’t think I’ll hold my breath, but I’ll reserve judgement for awhile. I heard Leno talking about how he wont be able to find any comic material from Obama, but he was quite sure Hilliary would be able to help him out and I’m not sure why, but I took offense to that.

If Hilliary had been the Democratic party choice I would have voted for her. I wonder if she would have asked Obama to fill a position?
