Arrogance, greed are dangerous traits for politicians

Richard Nixon was reelected to the United States presidency in a landslide victory in 1972. He boasted about his mandate and in his arrogance he and his underlings broke a bunch of laws. When newspaper reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein investigated and broke the story it led to Nixon's disgraceful resignation on Aug. 9, 1974. Arrogance, greed and ego are dangerous traits for a politician.
