Well Michelle, while you applaud Clinton for "not blurbing his personal life to Starr", you might keep in mind that Politically, if Clinton had been found guilty of Sexual Harassment charges by Paula Jones, not even you would have been able to dream up rationalizations for that kind of person to remain in the Oval Office as leader of the free world.

It was political necessity which drove Clinton to commit perjury - Nothing more and nothing less. Clearly his wife isn't distraught about finding out about the affair, just as she didn't divorce him after the affair with Gennifer. Within a day of Clinton's public "regret" recently, Hillary put out a statement saying she "is committed to" her marriage and family. She has since repeated similar statements like "being supportive during both good times and bad".

"Obviously people here feel an allegiance to Starr and an oath supercede someones responsibility to the people that are close to him - I dont agree. JMO

Clinton's responsibility to his family was to remain faithful to his wife -- *that* is where he failed. He did not turn that failure into success by lying to a court (the Jones' Court, presided over by Judge Susan Webber Wright, not Starr).
