Jim, I agree it's not always clear cut. But I would offer this. Our culture and ethics clearly do not support having sex in the Oval office with an intern. Most people would feel that is wrong. Especially wrong because he is a married man and it was happening on company time. That's our place of sacred trust. We elect someone under the assumption that certain values and codes of behavior will be adhered to there. Trust, is implicit in this relationship.

Parents send their young adults to internships all over the world. Most would not support the boss having sex with their daughter while involved in a power relationship of learning. They trust older men to exercise maturity and sound judgment when confronted with batting eyes to be professionals. Of course it happens at times, but we should not accept it happening in the Oval Office from the President of the United States. Allowing him to serve out his term is akin to accepting this behavior. I believe we need to say, not in our Oval Office, not in our nation, not with our young adults Mr. President. The only way to clearly say this is to fire him.

Our young woman studying for their careers are not some sex-toy to be used by Presidents for their sodomistic pleasures. I still cannot understand why more people are not outraged over this! Clinton has turned the Oval Office into one of the old English Kings harems. I believe we have a higher standard than this?

Most of the Democrats in Congress, desperate for campaign contributions are supporting this behavior. Shame on them for bringing the honor of the Presidency to this low level. Shame on them for careing more about their jobs than about our country. Every member of Congress knows he lied in court, every member of Congress knows he lied to the American people.

Shame indeed if they ignore their sworn duty to uphold the Constitution.

Michael
