Scrapps, he did get those jobs, but his point of view is that these come under the category of "masturbation" (see dictionary definition of masturbation as someone pointed out here earlier) and not under the category of "sexual relationship" which under his standards occur only when intercourse is committed. I say it is "entrapments" nothing more and we are setting a very dangerous precedence for Presidents to come. There are times when the President should have the need (and I am not saying this was one) to actually lie to the public.

Am instance that I dread could be as follow: a terrorist groups calls and say they planted an A-bomb (but they did not) in New York, the President will have to say it is not true, otherwise you will have thousands of people dying on their way out through the bridges. Two months later he'll be called on the carpet for lying to the nation. Of course you can come with hundred of hypothetical as well as historical events when lying is necessary.
