What you are witnessing is the eqalitarian nature of the United States, not a slippery slope to a police state. We don't treat the high office of the Presidency as a license for all manner of self serving deeds as they might in a third world or totalitarian state. We expect the holder of that office to be sincere and hold common values, much like we expect for ourselves. Secret police aren't usually associated with harming the powerful so much as their being used (historically) to keep the less powerful in check through false accusations and imprisonment. That you would invoke the image of Clinton being harmed by a secret police manuver speaks volumes as to the powerful way that he can manipulate his image to be a plain man of the people. What we have here is a very powerful man using his power seemingly in this instance to snag women. I take offense at that because that is not what he was given the power for. Perhaps his power has gone to his head and not the head you're thinking of. President Kennedy and Bob Packwood also come to mind as abusers of the power given to them in this sort of way. I expect these people in high office to be satisfied with their publicity, legislation, and inevitable inclusion in history books for the short time they're in office and not use it for sexual conquest as well. Gratuitous sex is too powerful a license to give someone in such a position of trust. Let him go back to Arkansas and hang out in a piano bar for that.
