To Ed.

There is a fundamental difference between what you believe is the appropriate standard of conduct and behavior for the president of the United States and what probably the majority of Americans believe is the appropriate standard of conduct and behavior. Whether or not Clinton had sex with a 21 year old is important from a moral and character perspective and is ultimately left to voters. This situation has nothing to do with that!! I repeat - Clinton's problems have nothing to do with adulterly! The question - Should someone who is the president of the United States (and who is already legally married) be permitted to retain their job as president if they are found to have had an adulterous affair with a 21 year old while in office is arguably a political and moral question best left to voters in a democracy.

HOWEVER, this is NOT about that issue. Everyone in the United States is obligated to tell the truth when under oath and subject to the penalties of perjury. If it is shown that Clinton disregarded this obligation (which we all are required to live by) then Clinton must be subjected to and suffer the same penalties that would be faced by the average American citizen. Telling a lie under a oath is an indictable offense in the United States. If you don't like that premise then too bad. There are plenty of people serving jail time today for one reason and one reason only - they lied under oath. Clinton is no exception. The President does not have the right to lie under oat!!! Period!! That's all she wrote!!
