Well, there you have it... Its not about Clinton its about you... I guess you have no kids for if you did you would be a crewel ruler... Forgiveness is about forgiving not judging the one who asked... IM so sorry for people that stand so damn high they think their ass is made of ice cream and every body with a spoon wants some... IM not like you I have my own mind as well as my own intent... So I will let you have your way and just say, OK... LOL Jeff

I completely agree with you. He did not ask for forgiveness. He never said "I'm sorry" (although he did say he "regretted" "misleading" everyone- is that legalese for I'M SORRY, I LIED?). Clinton's speech should have been an abject apology- instead he claims the matter is now between him, his wife, his daughter and HIS God, and he further blames Star for the whole thing- even though he was getting his jollys in a government building, with a government employee, who was shunted to a government job from her job at the White House, and who took up Clinton's secretaries time (another Federal employee) for her job search. I don't count Vernon Jordan's time because he wasn't on the Federal payroll- but Clinton wasted a lot of time talking to Jordan about Monica, and that was on my nickle (imo).

That toe licking advisor (Morris) who got booted from the White House staff at least had the sense not to screw with someone from the office. I guess, considering what the Prez was up to, Dick should have been able to keep his job- he never even lied about anything under oath did he?

<<I don't believe Clinton actually is remorseful, only angry at being caught.>>

Caught at what? Not fully disclosing the truth to a question that I believe he should have never been asked? Not to defer the discussion (ok, maybe) show me an honest politician and I'll show you an ineffective legislator. You are in business, right, you know that it takes all kinds to 'get things done.' Clinton is no different that any other human on the planet. And every day we are presented with difficult decisions that we know may hurt someone. He is the unfortunate first president to have EVERY BIT of his life (more specifically, his private life) played out on the TV and in the media. This is a sign of things to come, lets face it. If the president were a republican, he would be under the same scrutiny. And, no doubt in my mind, be found to have involvements with less than perfect people and to have made less than perfect decisions.

I also see your interest in Libertarianism. You should appreciate the fact that there should be a distinct line where our private life begins. Shouldn't the president be afforded the same right?
