KT, Yes, it is partly because of us, but rather far in the past, the public was not allowed to know about the faux pas that happened to the President. The penchant in America for the press to bare every little detail they can get to the public, has let us know much more than citizens used to. Sometimes, that kind of extreme press coverage is good, and sometimes, it would be better not to know. After all, the citizens had no idea that Thomas Jefferson had sired a mixed race child for a very long time after his death. At least, it was not made public at the time it happened. All of our Presidents are just human beings with all the foibles that go along with them. Ain't nobody perfect.

BTW, it has been a pleasure exchanging such congenial posts with you.

Have a happy Christmas!
