5. Obama and Nixon speech's excerpt from passage differ

WASHINGTON – It would have been the unlikeliest of inquiries just


days ago. As President Obama stood Thursday amid the splendor of the
Rose Garden, he was asked about comparisons between himself and one
of the most notorious prior occupants of the Oval Office, Richard Nixon.

“I’ll let you guys engage in those comparisons,” Obama said in reference
to the president who resigned in disgrace in 1974. “You can go ahead
and read the history, I think, and draw your own conclusions.”

In the lexicon of the Watergate days, it was a “nondenial denial” — and


the muddy response seemed to symbolize the difficulty Obama has faced
in a week in which he has been forced to respond to charges of secrecy,
paranoia, and heavy-handedness.

On one hand, the comparison between Nixon and Obama is unfair,


some say. As startling as the reports have been in recent days — from
the IRS targeting of conservative groups to the Justice Department
seizing phone records of the Associated Press — one Nixonian element
so far is missing: There has been no evidence that Obama himself
ordered or knew about the actions.

Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1896), was a landmark decision of the U.S.

20. Lyndon Johnson (Vietnam Dilemma …I don’t remember well)
Tribune News ServicesCHICAGO TRIBUNE

Newly released tapes of President Lyndon B. Johnson's telephone


conversations in early 1964 reveal an administration struggling to form
a Vietnam policy while keeping quiet about the escalating death toll.

More than 80 hours of Johnson's telephone conversations from the


White House, spanning January to March of 1964, were released Friday
on tapes and transcripts by the National Archives and the Lyndon
Baines Johnson Library.

At the time of the conversations, the government's Vietnam strategy


included American advisers and training for the South Vietnamese
army, rather than combat by U.S. troops.

Clearly, however, Johnson was concerned and confused about the future
of U.S. involvement.

"There may be another coup, but I don't know what we can do. If there
is, I guess that we just -- What alternatives do we have then? We're not
going to send our troops in there, are we?" Johnson asks aide McGeorge
Bundy in a March 2 conversation.

Johnson continued to demand answers on Vietnam later the same day


from Defense Secretary Robert McNamara.
