Talk about government transparency!
Long before Barack Obama's presidency Richard Nixon unintentionally ran the most transparent Whitehouse in all of history :-)
For you youngsters, Nixon bugged himself in the oval office, on the phone and just about every place but the bathroom (and we don't know that's for sure).
I do mean he taped everything!
Between February 16, 1971 and July 18, 1973 Richard Nixon secretly recorded roughly 3,700 hours of conversations and meetings in 5 different locations. Now most of them are available for your listening pleasure online at "The Nixon Presidential Library & Museum".
Presently there are 2,636 hours of fun filled audio clips that were used as evidence at the Watergate trial. Nixon's trip to China and others.
Here's the quick list:
WH Telephone (Tapes 1-46)
Executive Office Building (Tapes 245-449)
Oval Office (Tapes 450-)
You never know if someone's tape recording what you say"
~Richard M. Nixon~
