Richard Nixon Checkers





 Wearing a passionate denial face on the fateful day September 23, 1952, Richard delivered a 30-minute address to the nation. On this address, he denied allegations of him misusing political funds and violating several laws with supporters’ money. He was accused of buying himself gifts with the funds. He went on further to clarify that the only gift he intended to keep was a black and white Cocker Spaniel that his children had given the name Checkers (Dunlap, 2022).

Bill Clinton I Have Sinned

   Addressing over 100 ministers, clergymen and other religious leaders in the East Room on September 18, 1998, a remorseful Clinton asks for forgiveness from his family, members of staff and American Citizens. He repents for his affair with his secretary Monica Lewinski. The speech has faced backlash from many over the years but as he put it,” Integrity is important and selfishness is wrong.” (Bennet, 1998). Backed with very heavy facial expressions which clearly showed how sorry the president was, citizens really resonated with him on a human point of view despite the immense backlash.     References Maraniss, D.
