| 57. | Watergate | ||
|
The most infamous political scandal in US history that resulted in the resignation of President Richard Nixon and his VP Spiro Agnew in 1974. It centered around a burglery at the Watergate hotel in Washington by the president's operatives to dig up information on his political enemies. The scandal later used a political enemies hit list, firings in the executive branch, wiretapping, threats, the IRS, and intimidation directed toward Nixon's enemies. During Nixon's endictment he refused to surrender tapes to the FBI that he knew would have resulted in his prosecution. Once Nixon knew there were enough votes in the House to impeach him and enough in the Senate to convict him, he resigned in disgrace--the only President to do so. A few months afterward, the new President Gerald Ford gave him a total pardon, allowing him to keep retain his law license. For the rest of his life he continued to deny any involvement in the scandal--at least directly. Watergate was one of the saddest chapters in American politics in the 20th century. If it weren't for the Watergate scandal, Nixon would go down in history as being a very good President or average at worst.

The worst president to ever go down in history. In early 2004, an informal survey of 415 historians conducted by the nonpartisan History News Network found that eighty-one percent considered the George Bush administration a "failure."

| 59. | Don't Roberts Me, Chief! | ||

An expression used in response to someone who accidentally or purposely trips you up at the worst possible time. Usually occurs during moments of intense concentration or during a special moment. Based on the President Obama Inaugural Oath when Chief Justice John Roberts incorrectly stated the words “that I will execute the Office of President to the United States faithfully”; thereby causing President Obama to pause and disrupting Obama's special moment. Similar usage to don't tase me bro Chief Justice John Roberts: ...that I will execute the Office of President to the United States faithfully
President Obama: Don't Roberts Me, Chief! |

The epitome of superpower in the twentieth century, and early in the twenty first. However, this economic growth was shattered by war-hungry conservatives who's eyes lit up as they realized the immense opportunity they had at riches in the Middle-Eastern Oil industry. So, as a result of this greed they staged an terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, the purpose behind this was to rally support behind the war effort so they could reap the benefits of the vast oil in the middle east. However, the "crusade" on terror, and oil was halted in its tracks with surprisingly tough resistance from the Taliban. Ex-President Bush was concerned, but arrogant so his administration persisted in it's "crusade". As time went on citizens became more impatient about the capture of Bin Laden, but the U.S. Billion dollar intelligence couldn't find a trace. This of course was just a cover-up of the real means behind the war, which was oil, but that too went up in flames when the U.S. announced the invasion of Iraq, country's began to withdraw support from the U.S. cause, and Saddam's scorched earth policy left no oil behind for the conservatives to use. Pride and fear of being found out kept the conservative administration persisting in the war, however they soon realized that the financial motivation behind the war turned on them, and that they had put us in debt over our heads. Without oil to repay the war debt, we just continued to spiral out of control. Now, years later, we have a Liberal ... more...
