    Am I the only one to think Obama has man-boobs? Yuk. Everything below it looks good.

    My! Isn’t Tricky Dick the frisky one!

  3. Gringo Says:

    Nixon, not surprisingly with the suit on. I recall reading years ago about the suit at the beach photo. A man who could never let his hair down. Sad, but true. A mismatch of personality to occupation: an introvert in an extrovert’s profession, who felt the need to carefully craft every response.

    It was not for nothing that Mad Magazine had Nixon saying “In my sincerest insincerity.” Sad.

    Who is that man with JFK? Zbig Brzenski? (spelling)

    oh my eyes!!!!

    Interesting

    Despite being from California, I think Nixon was born wearing a suit. If I remember correctly, the beach photo was a PR disaster because he was so obviously uncomfortable in this “regular guy” setting. Should have stuck to dark suits, power ties, and corner offices.

  7. Truth Says:

    Nixon love the water….. Watergate brought him down.

    Clinton poised for his romantic shot but it’s all lies as his sex scandal revealed how much he is women’s beast

  8. Tatyana Says:

    Second from the top photo should be titled “Senator-Select and her parents”.

    Nixon’s picture is the best.

  9. Cappy Says:

    Quit wussing out, Neo. Post those William Howard Taft beefcake photos!

  10. Nolanimrod Says:

    God! That pix is SO Nixon! That poor bastard.

  11. Ymarsakar Says:

    If you read the true story behind Watergate here I believe you will see just how many problems Nixon truly had. Both personally and professionally.

  12. Gray Says:

    How much does Richard Nixon look like Ed Grimley in that photo?!
