Nixon's phone call to Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon 7/20/1969

Was Presidential eloquence in how a statesman marks a human changing event. I was no fan of Nixon, but his spoken words on that occasion were intelligent, appropriate, and possessed the correct amount of humility as well as pride for such an occasion.

Is there ANY DOUBT that if something like that happened today, the IMBECILIC FUCKING MORON JERK OFF ILLEGALLY OCCUPYING the WH today would make it ALL ABOUT HIM??!?!?!?

and rewrote Nixon's remarks. He did so because he felt that Nixon's original remarks took too much credit for the program.
