Oh, it was a black mark on Nixon's administration as well. You must remember that as well as I do.
After such a tragic incident is "allowed" to happen, the people tend to look at the leadership, and the president is the largest target of such outrage. It is in how he handles the situation that determines the size of said black mark, and if memory serves I would say that the one Nixon got that day and in the weeks and months following was quite sizeable.
