Joseph,
The only problem with #4 is that Nixon was not President in 1967. Johnson was. Nixon was elected in 1968 and began serving in 1969. Perhaps you meant that Nixon sent emergency arms during the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Even then, he and Kissenger had to be begged to send them – only the threat that Israel would arm and use nuclear missiles got Nixon to send the weapons.
You neglected to mention that Ford pardoned Nixon, which was a huge mistake. Nixon should have been prosecuted.
Eisenhower is viewed as a weak President. Being a “Victorious General of Allied Forces” does not make him a good President.
Chag Samayach!
