True, that most presidents did have affairs, and I believe the media puts it in the spotlight, whereas before they did not. I really don't concern myself too much with US politics, but take note of things that happen. What concerns me is that the Presidency, being the highest office in the US, carries with it the responsibility of "practicing what you preach". He did not only lie or mislead his family, but mislead and lied to all of you. He also sets a poor example for his citizens, on how to conduct their lives, which I believe a President is obligated to do by setting a good example. I found his remarks that roughly said "It is between me, my family and God" condascending to the American people. Many times, he spoke of family values, etc.... yet did not have the decency to conduct himself in that manner. That reeks of hypocrisy, in my opinion, but then again what politician isn't a hypocrite. He did not mind wasting millons of dollars, denying his acts for six months or so, instead of confessing and moving on with it, yet he complains about the waste of money in the investigation. He made the big deal out of it, not anyone else. He also indicated that "no evidence" suggested that he or his wife had done anything wrong with Whitewater or anything else. "No evidence" is conveniently used by many to mean that they were unable to prove what happened, not that it did not happen.
