The Watergate scandal alone should not prevent Nixon from being considered a good president. Many presidents have made mistakes, and in many cases the good things they did balance out the bad. JFK, for instance, was criticized for the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, but was known for many positive endeavors including his handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Nixon did good things as well - he was the first president to visit the Soviet Union where he engaged in talks to promote trade, arms-limitations, and peaceful coexistence. He also participated in peace talks with communist China and withdrew American troops from Vietnam. A president should be judged by his whole presidency, not by one scandal.
