That blatant honesty and commitment to doing what was right rather than what necessarily would have been politically advantageous most likely cost him a full election two years after the fact, but it gives the American people a standard against which to judge the veracity of Presidential rhetoric and also presents all those Presidents following with an example they could do worse than to follow.
