So another debate that we were having in class today that I found interesting was about the Bill Clinton case. Was he guilty? Was his case blown out of proportion or not? Personally, I feel sure infedality is common these days and I suppose always was. Now days there are more means of people getting caught, and so one really has to be careful :: Bill Clinton, Spitzer, Tiger Woods etc.
Sure what Bill Clinton did was wrong, but thats not what caused his impeachment, (for which he luckily wasnt found guilty, because I think he was one of the greatest presidents of our time). What CLinton was impeached was for lying under oath. This made people think what other things could he have lied about to get his presidential position. This is what made the whole case get blown out of proportion. Some man who represents your country, who claims to be religious, lied while swearing on the bible.
I dont think that people were upset and questioned Clinton's presidency because of his infedality but because of his lying under oath. I beleive this becaue even with Tiger Woods, people made such a big deal about his affairs, but when he came back, his fans still supported him. Similar to Chris Brown. There are many famous people who have been caught in many scandals but most of them have made a recovery
