It's unfortunate, but the Watergate Scandal does eliminate Nixon from being considered a good President. Its always nice to remember a past president for all his positive decisions, but ultimately those negative stories are the ones that remain through time. We even see this now with Bill Clinton's reputation. Though he had a successful presidency in which he improved the economy tremendously, his affair with Monica Lewinsky will always eclipse all the positive attributes of his career. The fact is, people like gossip more than straight cold facts and clearly we see this with Nixon's presidency. I do not condone the Watergate Scandal by any means, but really all Presidents deal with secret and even illegal affairs - it just so happened that Nixon was caught. The Watergate Scandal does not ruin Nixon's great Presidency, but it does ruin the public's consideration of him as a good President.
