I thought she was 19 when the affair started. Maybe I'm off by two years, but I've heard that age mentioned several times.

The biggest problem with his behavior was the fact that this conduct went on inside the White House.

That's part of it, but not by a long shot all of it. The biggest thing beyond that was the incessant denial and use of the executive powers to impede the investigation of perjury: That is where Clinton crossed the line, that and the public lying. Neither are acceptable practices for a President who needs the trust of the American people in order to execute the duties of his office.

That all-important relationship of trust with the American people has been irreversibly damaged with the perjury and public lying, IMO, and the President no longer has the moral authority to execute the duties of President. IMO.

Regarding the "marriage issue"; I've tried to explain before that the vast majority of married couples place a very high value on the continued fidelity of their spouses. Some people such as yourself (you're single as I recall) may be annoyed by that. But that doesn't change the opinions of the vast majority of married couples, both liberal and conservative.
