Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
President Nixon said after Watergate scandal:

"People have got to know whether or not their President is a crook!. Well, I'm not a crook!. I've earned everything I've got!."

It is a lie, but it had very little consequences!.

PS!. There is mini-series, a documentary by the BBC on the Watergate -- you have to see this!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nixon spied on thousands of Americans who joined groups he didn't like, he continued to bomb Cambodia and lie about it, and he and his cohorts were so paranoid they had to try and change the outcome of a presidential election!.

I say Nixon!. He also allegedly supported a few escaped Nazis after WW II, helping them get into a diocese in Detroit!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Lyndon Johnson lied to Congress about the cost of the war in Vietnam!. Thusly Congress told him that getting a tax increase passed would not be possible!. As Johnson continued to finance the war in Vietnam AND his Great Society without raising taxes, fiscal sanity went out the door!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Told to the American people:

To the people of the world:
"Ich bin ein Berliner!."- JFK

C'mon!. It's hands-down Bill Clinton!. He was specific "I did not!.!.!.", said it in public and also under oath!. It was willful, done with complete knowledge and unambiguous!.

Even Nixon's "I am not a crook" was fairly general and vague!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
