Former Bush White House adviser Karl Rove has raised eyebrows by comparing President Barack Obama to President Richard Nixon, reports Raw Story.

Rove says the Obama administration’s beef with Fox News is akin to the creation of a Nixonian “enemies list” that “demeans” the office of president.

"This is the White House engaging in its own version of the media enemies list," Rove told Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace. "It's unhealthy for the country and undignified for the president of the United States to do so."

Rove said this all began with the White Houses’ de facto boycott of Fox News after the network failed to broadcast the president’s health care address to Congress last month.
