After they are done reading everything, Clinton will say the "I'm sorry" he has been saving, perhaps shed a little tear, and everything will be back to normal. Hang on to your shares. Good time to buy more. I agree with your take on this congressional enquiry. Congress, most likely will not impeach the president, not because the congress is forgiving, but because that will open a can of worms and their colleagues will come under the microscope. JPR

Clinton Says He Let U.S. Down With Lewinsky Affair ORLANDO, Fla. (Reuters) - President Bill Clinton Wednesday offered his broadest expression of regret to date for his affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, saying he had let the entire country down. Speaking in Florida hours before prosecutor Kenneth Starr sent Congress his report on the Lewinsky affair, he asked for forgiveness and appealed for reconciliation. ''I let my family down and I let this country down, but I am trying to make it right,'' Clinton said at a fund-raising lunch in Orlando. ''I am determined never to let anything like that happen again.'' ''I ask you for your understanding, for your forgiveness on this journey we are on. I hope this will be a time of reconciliation and healing,'' he added. Clinton's remarks were interrupted by applause from the audience of Democratic donors, who also gave him a standing ovation when he concluded his speech. ''These have been the toughest days of my life but they may turn out to be the most valuable for me and my family,'' the president said. ''I have no one to blame but myself for my self-inflicted wounds. ''But that's not what America is about and it doesn't take away from whether we are right or wrong on the issues or what we've done for the last six years or what this election is about,'' he said. ''I am determined to redeem the trust of all the America people,'' he added. Clinton initially lied when his affair with Lewinsky became public in January, denying that he had had a sexual relationship with the young woman when she was an unpaid intern at the White House. But he admitted the affair Aug. 17 after testifying to independent counsel Kenneth Starr, who was investigating whether Clinton committed perjury or otherwise obstructed justice over the affair. Clinton did not refer to Lewinsky by name Wednesday in his remarks, which appeared to mark a shift in his strategy over how to handle his affair with the woman and the fact that he initially lied about it. The president met top Democrats from the House of Representatives in private at the White House Wednesday morning to apologize for the affair. After the meeting, Rep. David Bonior of Michigan, the second-ranking House Democrat, urged Clinton to repeatedly express his contrition in public. Clinton appeared to take his advice to heart. A senior White House official said the president made his decision to offer the apology Wednesday at the last minute and composed the remarks himself. The White House has been increasingly concerned about the erosion of support for the president within his own Democratic Party after Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut last week publicly said that Clinton's affair was ''immoral.'' House Democrats are a key constituency for Clinton as the legislative chamber prepares for the report from Starr which would outline any possible impeachable offenses by the president. One Democrat in the audience in Orlando appeared inclined to take the president at his word and to forgive his affair with Lewinsky. ''The subdued attitude of the president certainly suggested an awareness of the whole matter,'' said political science Professor Wayne Bailey. ''I think it was heartfelt and we live in a culture that teaches the doctrine of redemption.'' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ÿ Tue Sep 08 \| Mon Sep 07 \| Sun Sep 06 \| Sat Sep 05 \| Fri Sep 04 \| Thu Sep 03 \| Wed Sep 02 ÿIndexÿ \| ÿTopÿStoriesÿ \| ÿBusinessÿ \| ÿTechÿ \| ÿPoliticsÿ \| ÿWorldÿ \| ÿHealthÿ \| ÿEntertainmentÿ \| ÿSportsÿ \| ÿLocalÿ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Questions or Comments Copyright c 1998 Reuters Limited.
