Does 'Let me make this perfectly clear' remind anyone else of Nixon?

It sure reminds me of Nixon. Anderson Cooper thinks so too. The White House enemies list featuring Rush Limbaugh and Fox News reinforces this feeling. Next I expect some muttering about nattering nabobs of negativism.

Someone should remind Barack Milhous Obama this road ends up in a dark, dark, place with screaming, rending of garments, and gnashing of teeth.
