Whatever Clinton did, it FOR SURE did not result in war or the death
of anyone. Sure, he showed a lack of fidelity towards his marriage,
but that's IT and it's his and Hillarie's problem, not the nations'.

I don't agree. He lied under oath and that's pretty serious. The president
of the United States commited PERJURY. Especially serious since he was the
president of the United States at the time. It goes way deeper than a
marital problem, I think he shamed the office a la Nixon. I agree that what
he tried to cover up was more of a personal problem, but when he lied under
oath, he knew exactly what he was doing: lying to you and me and everyone
else. It didn't have to be a big deal, but he made it a huge one.
I was a Clinton supporter until I found out that he would lie under oath. It
showed and shows a serious flaw in character. It made me wonder what else he
had done or was willing to do. I don't blame him for trying to cover it up,
but commiting perjury crossed the line for me.
The issue of President Bush's lying is open to debate because no one has all
the facts here and only time will tell. The fact that President Clinton
perjured himself cannot be debated. I consider a sitting president commiting
perjury to be extremely serious, no matter what he is lying about.
