Should Bill Clinton resign?

asked in the The Government of the United States Q&A Forum

Has Bill Clinton's reputation sunk so low that he has lost the credibility he needs to remain an effective President? What should happen now? The New York Times has called on him to offer a full disclosure to the American people. Will he do it - or will he continue to hide behind his lawyers? What should Bill do now?

Answers

President Clinton should go on national TV ASAP and tell the truth.

The president should keep his mind and duties on the problums of the United States and the World. Should he resign? No! Even with all the woman that he has had relations with since he has been in office, I still feel that he his doing a good job in office. There are more people working now then there has ever been in many years and the economy has never been better then it has been in history. I think that purhaps Hillery should keep a better eye on him.

Based on the deposition Clinton Gave last week, He purgered himself when originally asked about his affair with G. Flowers. If he did committ purgery then why does anyone want him as President? Don't people realize Leaders generally surround themselves with subordinates of likekind. A scary thought. The American people are fools if it can be proved Clinton committed purgery & encouraged others to do so, and they still want him in office.

The President is a liar! He lacks the moral character to be an effective president and he is an embarrassment to the nation. The real tragedy is that a majority of Americans actually re-elected him to a second term in office. If it is proven that he obstructed justice by pressuring individuals to lie on his behalf then he should resign before he is impeached!!! Goodbye, "Slick-Willie" and take Hillary, Socks and Buddy with you!

The conduct of the President has compromised his ability to "faithfully protect and defend" the Constitution and laws of the United States. The irony is that as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces he has violated the military regulations about adultry that cause those of lesser ranks to be discharged and punished. How is it he can be immune from such conduct when Kelly Flinn is driven from the Air Force? The answer is very straghtforward....the President does not have the judgment and discipline to conduct his personal affairs so as not to jeopardize the higher duty to his office and the Constution. "Don't ask, don't tell" is not an option in a free society where the conduct of its elected officials is at the very heart of public trust and confidence. If the President can't govern, it is because he has brought this on himself.

Absolutely not. He has done better than anyone else could have. I blame the women for this. They could have stopped to think that they were destroying our President. His personal life should not force him to resign. If this happens, we will be losing one of the best Presidents we have ever had. I hope if he gets pushed into a corner, which the women are doing, that he comes out fighting.

We don't know all the facts. We do not - and perhaps we never will - really know if Bill Clinton has a sexual addiction or just uses bad judgment or if a delusional teen bopper is toppling the president with a web of fabrication, encouragaed by those who want to take Clinton out. If Clinton had an affair or any sort of sexual dalliance, he must reisgn now. If not, he must enter into crisis management mode: "tell it all and tell it fast" in order to save himself. If Clinton played around with an intern, he must resign now and spare us this further humilation and embarrassment

Depending on how the facts come out on whether or not he participated in trying to get Lewinsky to lie under oath and obstructing justice, the "Lewinsky Affair" will either be the straw that broke the Presidency or the piano from the 20th floor.The shear weight of all of the incidents that have occurred both before and after Clinton took office is going to topple the President. Whitewater, FBI files, Travel Gate, Chinese influence, selling the White House and the Lincoln Bedroom, Jennifer Flowers, and there are more I've left out. All of these issues are weighing on the President and if his involvement with Lewinsky is true, he should resign promptly and not drag this country throught he mud any longer. He's become a one man Jerry Springer show.

If the criteria for leading the US is marital fidelity, who could stand?

Now that it has been demonstrated that one can make a career and amass a fortune making fun of the Chief Executive [and even his family!], the gloves appear to be off on all hands.

Were it not so tragic, it would be funny watching the whoremasters who run Washington wagging their heads and poining their bony fingers of accusation at the President.

That is the real scandal.

I don't think Bill Clinton is honost enough with himself to know what is best for the country. He doesn't have the guts to be honost with the American people. If he can weasle his way out this mess I'm sure he will. Don't hold your breath for his resignation.

Dear Mr. President, Suicide is the most sincere form of self criticism. Very Sincerely, Ray Elliott

We don't know all the facts,but we do know that The President is a liar!!!He has done better at being a liar than anyone other president. hay "Slick-Willie" and Hillary are out of office,out of power and out time.

In my opinion the reputation of Bill Clinton did not sink. His reputation is built on his achievements. I am very sad seeing all these mean persons and their supporters harassing the president. The private life of a person should not be a FBI priority. I feel that the taxpayer money are unfairly spent on these investigations, which usually do not go anywhere . Moreover these investigations can bring terrible consequences for the well being of this country. Evidently the members of this hate club don’t care about the country.

This is a wakeup call for America! The country elected a slime-ball couple, and re-elected them to the Executive Mansion. Now we must pay the price. Character certainly does matter!! Not only is the Presidency the highest position of leadership in the free world, it is, whether we like it or not, one of the leading role models in our society for both adults and youth.

How can anyone blame the women involved? They certainly lack character, also, but they were not elected to high office. Bill Clinton's behavior has been criminal, much like a pedifile. He uses his position of high respect and power for his personal deviations. His behavior certainly does not reflect the average US citizen's behavioral standards. We have allowed him and his fellow travelers to influence youth in a devastating manner.

Both Hillary and Bill Clinton are a disaster for our country and it will be years before we know how much damage has been done.

Past actions reflect his continued manipulation of the english language to cause deceptive and misleading meaning in his answers, although, his recent interviews reflect facial expresion and body language indicating a lack of self confidence and the old arrogance for the first time.

Bill Clinton should resign, and take Algore and Newt with him. Give us a break and a new start!

Yes you should stepdown. The people of America don't care about your affairs but they don't like being treated like dummies.I have never had a problem seeing through your antics (lies). If you could have stoodup and said yes I smoked dope although I don't any longer that would have given you some respect in the publics eye's. I sir have no respect for a man that can't amitt his weaknesses. mistakes are to be made in life but not the same ones twice. For the good of the world stepdown and go on with your life not mine. thank you

HELL NO, the PRESS should RESIGN, after all they are not Journalists just sleeze and greed.

I am looking at him as someone who is horny all the time. Not only must his daughter be embarrassed by her fathers behavior but He also has brought discrace to Hillary as a woman. I hardly can take him seriously due to the "visual" image that i now get of him.

BUT WORSE THAN ALL OF THAT.....HE REALLY IS QUITE A LIAR. AND THAT IS BY HIS OWN WORD AND DEED.

Yes, I believe the President should step down, for the benefit of all involved. There is probably no doubt that the press has taken some "liberties" with regard to this issue. But unfortunately, there seems to be a never-ending list of similar issues, issues dealing with trust, or lack of, integrity, honor, character, etc. I've heard over and over again that he is not the first. That is immaterial. I don't recall such stories concerning Bush, Reagan, or Carter. How can the country have faith in his leadership and authority when all of these issues remain unresolved? By accepting the status quo, we are lowering our standards as a nation, as a people. We are compromising all the values and ethics we try to teach our children. I think we need to step back and look at the siutation and all of the allegations. Is this someone we really want for our president? Granted, the position requires someone of high character, should we settle for less? I think it is an opportunity for Mr. Clinton to finally do the right and honorable thing, step down on his own.

In 1996, I refrained from voting for Clinton because I didn't want to elect a president who wouldn't finish his term. We knew even then that Clinton's integrity was questionable, at best. I pray that Clinton resigns, sparing the nation further shame and humiliation. If he were innocent, he would have come to the people-- but obviously there is a fire behind all this smoke. He owes an apology to his wife, his daughter, and the American people. Not only does he need to learn that character counts, but so does the entire USA-- maybe we'll remember to elect a worthy leader next time...

i am not usually one for politics, nor am i especially a "fan" of bill clinton. However, i feel it is a dark time for our "great free nation" when not even the so-called "leader of the free world" and "the most powerful man in the world" is being slandered with indecency and disrespect. THIS IS THE PRESIDENT OF OUR COUNTRY. I have few words which can properly express the shock and anger i feel towards the media, the republicans, and the portion of the american people who believe that this should have gone this far. So to you greedy, egotistical, ignorant, power/money hungry, and just plain stupid bastards who dare call themselves americans i have one thing to say: "FUCK YOU". CLINTON I STILL GOT YOUR BACK.

What Bill Clinton should do now is not the proper question. The question should be what the citizens of this country should do now. . . Millions of people throughout our history have given their lives to preserve the freedom and the INTEGRITY of this great country. Now we must fight to maintain our country's integrity. We elect the individual in the White House; it is the most powerful position in the world. That individual represents us individually as well as collectively as a nation. The rest of the world judges us by our leaders--particularly our president. We should expect and demand the highest moral standards of the individual that we elect to represent us to the rest of the world. Settling for anything less diminishes us as a nation and an individual. Bill Clinton has severely diminished all of us. It's time for him to diminish his own authority by resigning!!

If President Clinton is innocent, he should not resign. The way this whole thing has been publicized, The president is guilty before proven innocent. So, whoever reads this, let's let the courts decide. It is the American way!

Kelly Flinn is out, if Clinton did it, he should leave. If he did it and does not leave, don't blame the military if they follow their commander-in-chief's example.

I think the people will soon tire of legalistic manner in which the president makes denials. The press is wary of it. Soon no one will believe him no matter how he phrases a reponse, even the honest ones. His effectiveness will wane over time. Also, I think Leon P.'s statement speaks volumes. He may have more insight into this matter than people think.... Yes he should leave. Let the country move on. Blame it on who ever he wants to. He could do more damage to the Republicans out of the office than in it.

I think Bill Clinton has done an exceptional job as President of the US. The fact that he supposedly had an affair does not reflect on how he serves the US and the world, rather how he conducts his personal life. If Hillary can stand by him so strongly, who are we to judge? I hate to bring the Bible into this, however, what does it say about 'Who should cast the first stone...'? I think once again, too many Americans are sensationalising the story out of proportion, and to resign over this issue would show him as a weak leader. Bill should stay, and I for one am prepared to overlook this mishap in light of all he has done for the US and the world.

No, the President should not resign... The President is the political leader of the USA, not the moral leader. The moral leadership of the USA is and rightfully should be the religious leaders of this country. I could careless who the President or for that matter anyone else sleeps with. I'm concerned that the President skillfully runs the political affairs of our country and as far as I'm concerned he's doing a great job at that. He has moved our country ahead in many areas that other Presidents only gave lip service to. If we are going to hold the President to such high moral standard, then why shouldn't we hold the CEO's of the most important industries in our country to the same standard. Should we try to kick them out of their position if they have mutual sex with a subordinate...I think not. Let the President run the country. It's running the best it has been in years. Please note that according to the Kinsey Institute, which research's and studies human sexuality, stated that a whopping 60+% of adults in the USA have had an extra martial affair. Do you think that they should be kicked out of their position at their employment??? Does their personal sex life have any bearing on their work product??? I think not... I'm not condoning extra marital affairs and I am one of the 40% that has not had one. I truly believe that the President's personal sex life is not relevant to his ability to govern our country. He was elected for his business and political skills, which he has used most effectively for all our benefit.

No! It's none of our business. He's doing a very good job. People who live in glass houses... If we do it, we're all a bunch of hypocrites. History will judge the president well, and judge the public poorly. This is an awful thing. We must not let this happen. If we continue on this course, one day we will have an automated president- one who only appears before cameras, but does not exist in real life- one who takes orders from those who never appear before cameras. No human being is perfect. Intense media scrutiny demands perfection. If one has to pretend perfection in one area, then one must almost deliberately fall short in another area to compensate. We put Jefferson on a coin, we have a special holliday for Dr. King, but that's ok, cause we didn't find out till later? We are a nation of hypocrites. Please--STOP THIS MADNESS--

I think people are too quick to judge other people. It takes two to tango. If he had an affair, so what! He isn't the first person to do it. I think people get too caught up in what the media says. The girl who said she didn't have an affair and then did is just as guilty of lying as the president (if infact he is lying). Why can't we believe someone when they said they didn't do something. I think the media should spend more time on other issues than who the president is sleeping with. Is that all that is important in America? What about factories that are closing and people losing their jobs? What about crime? Drugs? Gangs? Aren't these more important. I want my children to grow up in a save place to live. But the media obviously could care less about the really bad things that are going on. Bill Clinton sleeping with someone other than his wife does not affect me in the least. It doesn't change my income or safety at home or my childrens education or life. What does are all the other things I have listed. The only persons that should be worried about who there sleeping with is Bill and Hillary. That is their private life. If she doesn't have a problem with it why should we. A million people in the US have affairs everyday. WHO CARES!!!! As long as it doesn't affect me and my family. Besides who else do we have that would do a half way decent job. How about some of the other people who have wrote in. If you could do a better job run for the presidency yourself. It is about time people put their money where their mouth is. I don't see any regular citizens who love to critise running for office. Maybe because they wouldn't get elected because they don't have the money or status. I thought about it but I don't really have a political background and I would probably be assasinated for my beliefs. Plus being a women it would be really hard to get elected. Anyway this is MY opionion. It probably doesn't mean much but I have put in my 2 cents worth.

Of course he should resign!! He is a disgrace to his family and to the nation.

I think the press needs to put all their energies into something else, It's like a bad Enquirer story, I don't know If these people care what they are doing to the Nation's reputation or maybe they just don't care, It's the almighty dollar, sell the story before they have all the facts, I think its embarassing, and this is going to effect alot more people then just the president. I personally don't care what or who he sleeps with, and I am tired of the woman always playing the part of a poor wounded creature,If you have relations with someone that is on you, this woman was not under age nor was she forced against her will,from what the "PRESS" has been reporting, she was compensated for her "actions" with gifts and job offers,WHO'S SCREWING WHO HERE?

when star gets him where he belongs he should endover to be a model prisnor

He's done it to Flowers. He's kept it up with the Jones'. He's fogged up his Monica. Now he's focusing on you !

NO !!! He should not resign. We all new what he was like before he was elected and we realizied right or wrong that he and his lifestyle reflect the morals of this country. I hate to say it but WHAT POLITICIAN DOESN'T LIE?????? Last thing is who cares if he lies,and sleeps with every bimbo from ARKANSAS TO DC it has NO conection with how WELL he has run the country. AND NO ONE IN THE PAST 20 YEARS HAS RAN IT AS WELL !! CHRIS PLESSINGER

If anyone here is capable of admitting to his wife that he had an affair without being seen during the act I think Mr. Clinton should do the same.

President Clinton is a great human who is trying to save his reputation an marrige. He sould not be judged as president for a stupid, petty act.

Our country needs him to continue doing the great job he's been doing.

All the rest of the people who critizise him for his personal act are not more that a bunch of gelous, full of envy ignorants that never lived abroad or don't know the concecuenses of loosing MR. Clinton.

Let the man alone ! If he lied, it was not such a big deal ! You would have done the same.

Learn hout to forgive.

VIVA CLINTON !

The most elevated and prestigious position in this world is the seat of the President of the United States. He stands as a symbol of our national moral character and as the paramount role model. As such he (or she) SHOULD be held to the highest moral expectations...We should DEMAND he (or she) perform flawlessly, in every way, and all of the time. In this light, the stumblings and failings which he has already admitted to, as well as the flagrant disregard for human life in the form of allowing partial birth abortions to continue, regardless of the extenuating circumstances, have shown the world (as he is our spokesman) that we as a nation hold no honor to the truths we once stood for. The ideals which formed this country, as well as those acquired by other fledgling countries aspiring to be like us, have been tarnished irreparably. Please, Bill, step down, and allow the next to repair what you have done to this country.

What is all the fuss about? A French president who did NOT have affairs would have to resign. Does the fact he has affairs make him a bad president? If his wife appears not to mind why should anyone else?

he should resign what he is doing to this country is a shame get out soon save us the shame

Yes. The President has shown that he is not to be trusted with his own personal business, let alone the business of the country. His alleged criminal activities regarding the latest young lady and his encouragement for her to cover-up the affair is reprehensible. As President, Mr. Clinton must be held to a higher standard and not try to explain it away as "Oh well, everyone does it," or that there is no controlling legal authority. The American public is finally realizing that the Clintons are not what we want as our leaders. They should go back to Arkansas, if they will have them.

President Bubu has decided to replace his "I Didn't Inhale" bumper sticker on his limo. The new one says "Eaten Ain't Cheaten".

I guess that syas it all

Hell, ! what you people call oral sex is just an "Arkansas Howdy"!

For just once in this administration, I would like to hear a clear and unequivicocal statement of what happened. I don't care what Hillary says. I don't care what Bennett says. I don't care what Carvill says.

I have listened to and watched as many news programs as possible for the last 4 or 5 days. I have surfed some international coverage and read some of the comments already posted in this area.

I alternate between sad, angry, scared, and confused. In answer to the first part of the question, I would suggest people look at what others, i.e., other countries, are saying and reading.

We have seen Mr. Carvill, Ms. Ratner, Michael ___________?(another independent counsel), etc., speaking for Mr. Clinton, but we have not seen Mr. Clinton standing before a microphone, answering any and all questions. Why???? The answer from the White House is that they need to get all of the information together in order to respond. Bill Clinton has that information! He can tell us what happened! Why doesn't he? Why answer questions with carefully worded denials?

Would we tolerate this behavior in our children? Our employees?

Personally, I believe it speaks to Bill Clinton's opinion of this country that he has not either "stepped up to the plate" or resigned.

Yes, this scandal is enough for America. We cannot trust Clinton anymore. This man was elected to guide this country with responsability and he has proved to all of us that he is a pervert and liar.

I'm not ready to jump the band wagon and say Bill Clinton should be impeached. We can not prove that he is lieing. However, he has been real good at lieing to the entire country. I mean other presidents have had affairs and not much hoopla was made about it. I do, however, think that Bill Clinton should undergo a full crimanal investagation because he lied under oath. Now, if that is proven, in my belief, there should be disciplanry action that might include impeachment. But, if he's impeeched is Al Gore going to do any better of a job?

I think Clinton should move to Moscow.

Why should he??? You have an affair and you dont get fired from your job why should he? If your so weak as to have to follow someone elses example and not your own belifes then your not a strong person and you need help not to be on here worring about what the president gets for cheating on his wife. his job has nothing to do with his personal choices and rather he did or didnt have an affair. not to mention this girl that claims this must have no self respect to go to the media and relay such personal intament details of her sex life or so called sex life anyway.she must be getting paid a lot of money to ruin someones life and make herself out to be a homewrecker and a slut!!

Yes--He should absolutely resign! Does he really think that the American people are stupid enough to believe that nothing at all occurred between himself and Lewinski? He's a coward and a liar. Grow some balls Bill and fess up.

I think that Pres. Clinton is doing what most all politicans do; lie and cheat. But if Clinton really wants to show us that he really believes in equality he should go out and screw a black woman. Maybe even a man or a hispanic. This way we can feel that he is screwing us all equally.

no no no he should not resign ....... most of us dont care about his personal affairs.......... and this is an overblown media driven event

regardless of whether he is president or not, there should still be a presumption of innocence. a resignation makes this country look very bad to the rest of the world and will have many more far-reaching effects on the nation than who will be the next president. a free press is one of the great things about our country, but we must use it to gather and evaluate facts not create a feeding frenzy based on sound bites and rumors.

I hope and trust that Mr. Clinton has the decency to resign. In my humble opinion the level of intelligency of this country showed it had sunk enough when he was first elected. I believe that a person of such apparently questionable morality should not occupy such an important office.

He denied on TV that he had an affair with G. Flowers during the 92 New Hampshire primary. He was caught on audiotape telling FLowers to just deny everything. He has finally admitted under oath that he did have an affair. Now we are supposed to believe after all the other lies from this slimeball that he isn't lying now about suborning perjury? Please. The CSM of the Army is being court-martialled for sexual harassment. The Chief of Staff of the Air Force was turned down for the Chairmanship of the Joint Chiefs because of an affair. We had multiple Army drill sergeants get court-martialled for abusing their positions to get young women to have sex. Bill Clinton is a disgrace to this country and I personally can't wait until he is wearing prison stripes. But what really scares me is that so many Americans are so morally ignorant - if he is willing to so blatantly lie about this, what ELSE is he lying to us about?

Of course he shouldn't. He's a great president!!! Why does the media care so much about who he sleeps with? I think that's his own personal business. If every person that cheats/has affairs lost their jobs, there wouldn't be many people working? I myself think that cheating is one of the worst things you can do but I don't care if the president does as far as he does a great job. How about starting to count how well he runs the country and not how good he is at cheating? :>

God, you Americans. Canada didn't make this much fuss when part of our country threatened to seperate!

I THINK THIS IS DANGEROUS TO THE UNITED STATES TO PURSUE THIS OF A STANDING PRESIDENT. I FEEL PRESIDENT CLINTON HAS DONE A VERY GOOD JOB OF RUNNING OUR COUNTRY AND THAT IS THE MEHRITS HE SHOULD BE JUDGED ON SOLELY WHILE IN OFFICE. THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PRIVATE ISSUES WITH HIM SHOULD WAIT UNTIL HE LEAVES OFFICE. PERSONALLY, I THINK MRS. CLINTON IS THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT PAULA JONES AND HER GROUP OF ACCURSERS. IF SHE SUPPORTS HER HUSBAND THEN WE SHOULD TOO. THE ONES IN OUR GOVERNMENT WHO ARE APPARENTLY NOT AS CONCERNED ABOUT THE COUNTRY AS MR. CLINTON ARE USING THIS TO DISCREDIT HIM AT ANY COST, AND THAT COST COULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE. TO US THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. .IT IS A SAD COMMENTARY ON THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WHEN OUR POLITITANS ARE MORE CONCERNED WITH THEIR OWN AGENDAS THAN THE AGENDA OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. I DO NOT CONDONE ADULTRY BUT THAT SHOULD NOT BE DEALT WITH IN THIS MANNER. THAT IS A PRIVATE ISSUE AND CONCERN TO THE PARTIES INVOLVED. I NEITHER CREDIT OR DISMISS THESE ISSUES AS I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE ANY REVELANCE IN THE CREDABILITY OF OUR STANDING PRESIDENT. IN OTHER WORDS, GROW UP!

YES! CLINTON SHOULD RESIGN.I FEEL DIRTY,FROM ALL OF THIS AND VERY MUCH ASHAMED AS A CITISEN OF THE U.S.I AM VERY MUCH CONCERNED WITH OUR FUTURE AS ACREDIBLE WORLD POWER AND DISLIKE OUR COUNTRY BEING THE BUTT OF THE WORLD,S JOKES PERHAPS WILLY SHOULD SHAMPOO HIS HAIR MORE OFTEN AND TRY AN "ORGANIC" EXPERIENCE FOR A CHANGE.

YES!

He should resign for the good of the nation. He has had six years of scandle after scandle. This last affair is just another episode in the saga of a man who is has a great many talents, and a great many character flaws. I believe that this has gone beyond any acceptable limits for the leader of the United States of America.

Let Al Gore have a shot at bringing us back to a moral center before we waste the last two years of this presidential term..

Pleas resign, Mr. President, and do yourself and the country a great favor. It can be your final popsitive act as president.

President Clinton should resign. The man who can’t keep his button under control can’t be trusted with the "hot button" of nuclear strike. The man who cant lead by example is not a leader. A criminal should be excluded from governing others. The man who is a liar will never have honest respect of other leaders. The president who by his chain of scandals distracts the political well-being if his country should be suspended from his functions. We should have a constitutional amendment to have the vice-president assume a presidential power during a criminal investigation of sitting president. O God, please restore our country dignity, morality and glory. --Witold

The present so called government of the former US has been a government of business and industry that pays us wages and then takes all we have earned, and leaves just enough for us to avoid an open revolt. Bill Clinton is just the latest criminal of a long line. The legit government was overthrown by war in 1865. It was called the Confederate States of America. Study your history, and learn the truth!

There are reasons why you have to work so hard to just get by, and the seeds were sown back then. Study and learn the truth.

America's image in the arena of world leadership is being damaged more each day. The newspapers coming out of Europe and the rest of the world sing of embarassing comments about our president ("Seduced by lace stockings" or "Hilary Takes Charge"). It is time for the President to stand up and speak the truth and have the American people decide if this is a man we can believe in and trust to run our country and the image we want to portray to the world.. If he cannot, the State of the Union should be delievered by President Gore. Stand up, and speak up like a President should -- or pack your suitcases.

I hope the lying coward does not resign, rather I hope he is stripped of any dignity he has left by Congress. I hope he loses all he has. I hope Clinton is impeached and put in jail.

Though Clinton has breached the basic principles of moral decency & ethical behavior with a magnitude deserving of public outrage, there are few citizens that can claim right to those emotions. The man has been elected twice as the supreme leader of our country. The reaction of the public is not that of ourage based on Clinton's moral behavior, but embarrassment that as voters, the majority of U.S. citizens were accomplices willingly lookiing the other way. We live in a time when people of this country judge their own moral character on a curve compared to others, ignoring standards of decency that have existed for thousands of years. The term "common decency" is becoming an oxymoron. Those who believe character is not an issue when electing leaders are apparently concerned about raising the curve. However the character of the electorate is as important an issue as is that of the canidate they vote for. Bill Clinton will not likely survive this last bout of indicretion. The question is if voters will be more discriminate and demonstrate the respect that the right to vote deserves.

No, the president should not resign based on unproven accusations, leaks and innuendos. It seems that anyone can say anything they want about the president and he is convicted without a trial in this media feeding frenzy. I think the president and his administration have done a fine job of running the country to date and I'd like them to continue to do so without constant interference from Republican puppet Kenneth Starr and his sleaze machine. We all should mind our own business. There are very few people who could stand the level of scrutiny that the president has been subjected to. Certainly many former much-admired presidents could not. Stop this madness and let the president do his job.

clinton has no character and as a result he will only do what he feels is best for him personally, without regard to the consequences for the nation.

I am suprised he needed so many women, as the major media has been sucking up to him for years.....

Hey Bill: Just tell them you did't cum

Yes within the hour! He has brought disgrace to the office and to the country. As much as the thought of a Gore Administration makes me sick to my stomach, this would be better for our country than another minute of Clinton.

If the allegations are true, and we should all now soon enough, then the only option available would be to resign.

Bill Clinton should not resign!! While I believe he should be honest and I feel he is, I hope the matter can be cleared up. I do not believe a President should be dragged over the coals as he has been with the press at his heels. He should be given a chance to explain himself. He has proven himself in government. While we do not condone the accusations by any means, it is hard to believe a 21 year old girl with her head in the clouds should be able to bring him down with no more than we know so far. Twenty hours of tapes seems preposterous!! Something is wrong when we let a 21 year old girl create a crisis and an embarrassment for the whole country. The media is creating the fuel for this fire. This country has bigger things to worry about!!

We support the President. His sex life is his business. Leonard and Kay Benson

I have a question for those who feel Clinton should remain in office. How would you fee if the girl in question was your daughter? Would you still feel it was her falt? Regardless of what she wanted a grown man should be responsible enough not to let it happen. If he so week that he can't control his emotions, how can he be strong enough to lead the country in matters that realy count. If he did do this he should admit it and accept what ever happens. Instead he is trying to destroy her futher to try and save himself. This is what really bothers me. Yes he should resign.

I believe that what gos on in a bed between two consatining people is BETWEEN them. If the lady didn't say yes, then let her get out of bed and speak up right then. After a year gos by and then she tells all, there should be a time limet on when some one can tell these things, after a time limet is up then charges should be brought aganist them for slandier. The ones that are asking for Bills head probly didn't like him in the first place. He has done a wounderful job and I think that this is a family matter. Mr. Stare should get out of other peoples beds and play fare. If we not careful in time, the goverment will be under our sheets and then we'l see EVERYONE with red faces.

No President Clinton should not resign based on unsubstantiated claims made by people who are his political enemys. It is about time the media devoted more resources to the full range of domestic issues and international issues and forget about National Enquirer type stories. To waste the air time on this scandal all week is pathetic.

I wonder if the owners of these news services have the intelligence to report real news. After all they failed to properly report on the savings and loan scandal. Their latest big failure is campaign finance reform. Of course honest reporting on this issue would mean that networks would be forced to donate their valuable air time for real political debate. This we may never see again. Too bad the free press is too ignorant to figure out what is important. Did they forget that the air waves are suppose to belong to the people of this country?

Should the President resign? Probably not. He is the same man now that he was both times he was elected to lead this country, which is sad and scary for the United States. The issue is not one of adultry or extra marital affairs, the issue is one of integrity or the lack there of. A person of integrity conducts all of their affairs both public and private with honesty and forthrightness. When they take and oath they keep it, whether it be an oath of marriage, or an oath of office. When they make mistakes, they take responsibility for them and do what they can not to repeat them. And they will always, to the best of their ability, do what is best for the people who are depending on them.

When I voted for Bill Clinton in the past elections, I voted to have a leader that can make a better change to my country, to bring up the economy, create a safer environment to live, make better schools, create more jobs and prosperity, etc. Bill Clinton delivered all these to me, I dont care if he was unfaithfull to his wife, that is something very personal and he has to solve the problem with his family. I wish him all the best and I will continue to support him.

mr. bill clinton should not resign. 1)who has no thoght of sex with other woman/man can only criticise. this virtually rules out all on this planet. 2)job @ personal life are two different paths. 3)it is merely afamily matter for clintons. 4)mr. clinton was offered office because he deserved it & has done supper good job. 5)GOD_the religion does not justify that mr. clinton should resign. 6)find better reasons than this for president to resign. 7)this could go on and on.

What up!! Just got done watching the super bowl. Had a couple of fresh young interns come over and watch the game with me. I know that may have been dangerous with all this monica controversy as of late but hey i'm the prez and i can get away with anything. I run this government like John Gotti, yeah!! Hillary has been straight up bitchin at me lately, that bitch ain't going anywhere, she's been ridin my jock since yale law. Who the hell is the press to be hassling me over this monica thing. Can't a married man in his 50's have a 21 give him a blow without everyone going crazy about it? What has happened to this country anyways, geez. It's all good though, i got my boy carville out and about talking shit about starr and company. I'll get out of this one too. My aides are telling me this is more serious but i'm bill clinton and i can get away with murder, seriously. Don't people know i can't be bothered with trivial things like adultery and perjury. I'm trying to bring peace to the middle east dammit. That netanyahu gets on my nerves. I try to get tough and push him around but he's a former commando and i was in the band. I even had albright and that tough son of a bitch berger helping me out but he wouldn't budge. Why doesn't he understand like me that arafat is a peace loving man? I seen that movie wag the dog the other night and got a great idea! Check this out, i bomb iraq to take away attention from this whole monica thing, man i'm smart, yeah baby!!! I have to run and get ready for bed, hillary has me sleeping on the couch tonight. I'll try and update you guys again tomorrow.. Yours truly, Bill I luv Monica!!!

There is no doubt in my mind that Clinton should resign. I have seen many pro-Clinton replies stating how much he has done for our country and I cannot help but wonder how educated people are in area of executive power. People are somehow disillusioned into thinking that the president is the reason for a blossuming economy. Such is rarely, if ever, the case. However, I can and will comment on the constant deceit and broken promises that this administration has levied against the American people. Somehow America has fallen into a moral tailspin with our illustrious leader nose-diving the country into the ground! Somehow Bill Clinton has repeatedly duped an amazing amount of our fellow countrymen, but he never fooled me. Now I can only hope that payment for his lies,immoral and deceitful behaviour, will be commeasurate with the damage he has inflicted on our society as a whole. See Ya Bill (And I hope AL Gore has enough steel to deny a pardon!!)

This joker has been a 'scum-bag' from day one. How in the hell did he ever get elected, let alone reelected. Just further proof, money talks and buss-shit walks. In truth, we need politicians like I need a second rectum. Turn that congressional building on the hill into a museum, send the politicians (damn laywers) packing , and start charging a buck admission to the Washington tourists. Let a least that one branch of the federal government start making money instead of costing us!!!! And all of THEIR appointments? (Let 'em all join Janet (Honey-Buns) Reno) and return to Florida to wrestle the alligators. Hey Americans, wake up and smell the roses. This is OUR country, not theirs!!! Tell these assholes the FREE RIDE is over!

It is true that American morale has imorived since Bybba when into office. But for a person who was pushing family values during his re-election, he was just lying thorugh his teeth. He has lied about Jennifer Flowers (took him long enough to admit the truth), and will lie again. I pity Chelsea for the Actions of her father, and once he officially admits the truth, it probably be a broken family. A president plagued with scandals...a president that a lot of us don't trust, so why should he be President. Even after the election, a ABC poll stated that most Americans don't trust the president elected. If we could shave many years off of Dole, we wouldn't be having this discussion. I have to agree with Leon Ponetta (however his name is spelled) to impeach Clinton, and put Gore in charge (as sickening as it be, hopefully he's got the macerna out of his head). Let Gore be the next president to the next millenium.

This joker has been a 'scum-bag' from day one. How in the hell did he ever get elected, let alone reelected. Just further proof, money talks and bull-shit walks. In truth, we need politicians like I need a second rectum. Turn that congressional building on the hill into a museum, send the politicians (damn laywers) packing , and start charging a buck admission to the Washington tourists. Let at least that one branch of the federal government start making money instead of costing us!!!! And all of THEIR appointments?

Clinton should resign before he embarrasses himself further. He will ruin any gains he has made if he fights this thing.

The libs don't see why private behaviour should be a factor when considering suitability for public office. Why then did they make it such an issue for Clarence Thomas ? How about Judge Bork (he admitted inhaling, unlike the big liar) ? I've seen numerous opinions that people don't lose their jobs for having an affair. WRONG ! Cavorting with a subordinate at work now usually winds up as a sexual harrasment case, with people losing their jobs. Thanks again, to the libs ! They should stop being hippocrites, like their leader Bill, and live by the moral code they've forced on everyone else !

YES He has disgraced his country and his family.

Regardless of fault or blame, Bill Clinton no longer has the creditbilty to preform the job of President of the greatest counrty on earth, he should for all our good step aside and let the country continue to prosper.

All of those people who feel that Clinton has lost some or all of his credibility probably never accepted or believed in him in the first place. They only look at the narrow picture that is painted by a frenzied media and politicians looking to make the news, they will have missed all of the benefits the country has received from his leadership in foreign and especially domestic matters. There are LESS wars, LESS unemployment, LESS crime, MORE new jobs, BEST economic climate in 20-25 YEARS and BETTER time for the country ahead because of his leadership.

Sexual conduct becomes a problem if a leader is blackmailed to do things that may be not in the best interest of the country. President Clinton does not appear to be influence by such scandals mongers. He has been willing to stand up for himself and move on with the business of government. I DO NOT FEEL HE SHOULD RESIGN FOR ANYTHING THAT RESULTS FROM THE CHARGES AND INUENDOS BEING TOSSED ABOUT REGARDING SEXUAL CONDUCT.

JIM HARO

yesthe clinton's should resign! i think by now that we have seen that this is just a business deal between two lawers (not a mariage) one with the money,one with the pedigree; to steal the highest office in the land. if i want a snivling child as president or his mommy i can choose a better woman than hillary clinton! ...watch your back mr. gore! why do we have to be told what is right? did we not have mothers? did james carvell? have we been so liberal as to have thrown god out with the bath water?

Too soon this cry for resignation. God knows he has flaws, but then so do I. To call for a resignation at this time with no evidence of a crime is a hysterical reaction revealing more of the critics character than the presidents. All our leaders have flaws and if we we were to require resignation because of this, Capitol Hill would be empty. A professional does his job in spite of his personal problems and Clinton has done his well to date. Wait for the facts, hold emotion in check. One weekend does not a crisis make. (For the media, however, one accusation does make for a profitable week)

I'm a Democrat who voted for Clinton twice. I've agreed with most of his foreign and domestic policies.

However, it's time for him to resign. For the good of the country, for the good of the Democratic party, he needs to step down immediately. I'm hoping he will make such an announcement at the State of the Union address.

If the spinmeister's continue to blame the political enemies, it won't take this time. As much as I hate many of the political opposition's motives, the fact of the matter is he's lost all credibility, he's shown to not have integrity, and he's impotent as a moral leader.

No he should not resign. I am sick and tired of men (not only Clinton) getting blasted for things that have happened in the past. If these women have been wronged then they should make it public at the time. It is getting so rediculous that you will be an old man hoping the little girl from kindergarten will not publicly ruin you for stealing a kiss 60 years ago. He has done ok by this country and anything about his person sex life (whether true or not) should be between him and Hilary. To hell with having to tell the public what he does in the bedroom. I agree, the people yelling the loudest didn't liked him in the first place so they just love this. GET A LIFE GUYS and lets get back to running the country and let Hilary take care of any problems in the bedroom.

From my letter to the President...

January 25, 1998 Sunday 11:25pm

Dear President Clinton, As the media continues to find such an interest in your personal life please remember that being the President of our country does lend their eyes and ears in your direction. In light of the attention that "comes with the job" of being the Commander in Chief" comes your responsibility to act in an upstanding fashion. This is probably your biggest problem, being as young and carefree as an early "baby boomer." Please don't misunderstand me. I myself am only a couple of years behind you in age, but mentally, right with. The big difference though, I know what is right from wrong and when I when I said "I do" at my wedding...I meant it.

The Office of the President of these United States of America is the ultimate position of leadership in the World as we know it today. It is of national (and international) interest that you either admit to your mistakes now, and honestly accept blame while taking corrective action to prevent from making this mistake again or offer your resignation immediately. This country and the millions of us that are trying to offer our support in helping to move in the right direction have been damaged by your actions. If there is ever a time for you to "come clean" it is now. When it is all said and done and the history books have been written, what do you really want your grandchildren to be reading about you. Mr. Clinton, life is a series of mistakes that we learn from. Mistakes that we are not to repeat. When it comes time for life to come to an end, whether it be mine or yours...all we really take to the hereafter is our character.

I have given you a simple method of resolve, certainly not another "ear full" of this and that. I can only hope that whomever in your employ that takes the time to read my message will see to it that it is forwarded directly to you. I believe that if you incorporate your guilt and acceptance of responsibility and your sincere promise to America that you will take the necessary steps to change your personal and professional behavior, into your address to the nation, the history books will reflect you in a positive light. Take the speech that your staff hands you and pencil in your own words that will show America that you are one of us and that you will "make us proud."

Respectfully,

Steve Thomas Redding, CA e-mail Steve@LTV-ENT.COM

Hey this is obviously another hurdle he will have to jump over, he has had nothing but obstacles but in his way since he became President, I personally think that he has done a very good job as President. I have never met a perfect person, male or female, if this were something your neighbor did you would not take it personally, just because he might have had some flings... (who knows) this will not effect his ability to do a good job...

YES, THE PRESIDENT SHOULD STEP DOWN - IT IS THE ONLY DECENT THING TO DO. SO HE HAS RUN THE COUNTRY WELL IN THE LONG RUN - BUT HE HAS ALSO MADE MANY BLUNDERES AND HAS BROUGHT A GREAT DEAL OF DISREPUTE UPON HIMSELF. HE SHOULD THINK OF HIS FAMILY AND THE STRESS IT CAUSES THEM - HE SHOULD GRACEFULLY BOW OUT AND LET THIS WHOLE SORDID AFFAIR DIE DOWN.

Let's not lose sight of the seriousness of the real allegations invloved here. Who, what, or with how many someone populates his or her bed are not the issues here. Rather, did William Jefferson Clinton lie under oath in a deposition taken last week when he stated he did not have sex with Monica Lewinsky? Did he urge, encourage, or in some way persuade Ms. Lewinsky to state under oath that such a relationship did not occur? Was he involved with another individual, specifically Vernon Jordan, to suborn Ms. Lewinsky's testimony? The crimes involved here if the answer is "yes" to these allegations extend far beyond a "hop in the hay". We are talking about the crimes of suborning a witness to commit perjury, committing perjury, obstruction of justice; these are SERIOUS crimes punishable by up to 10 years in federal prison. And no one in this country, no matter what his or her position in our society, whether a thief robbing a liquor store or the President of the United States, is above the law. To people who say "Yes, but he's done such a good job!" I tell you that statement is totally irrelevant! Richard Nixon got us out of the quagmire of Vietnam and had the courage to finally end the hypocrisy of refusing to acknowledge the existence of the People's Republic of China, but when it apparent that he was involved in obstructing the investigation of the Watergate break-in he was forced to resign. No one, I repeat NO ONE, is above the law in this country, and if we ignore that precept then the constitution becomes meaningless! We should give the President the chance to explain the circumstancial evidence that points to these offenses. If, when all the facts that can be obtained concerning these charges are in and it is apparent that he has violated the law, he MUST resign or be forced from office! But not before then and certainly because of a sordid redezvous.

clinton should resign, but it would take the urging of some of his fellow democrats for that to happen. we need a president with unquestioned moral authority to lead this nation. i didn't vote for him because i disagree with him politically, but there are a lot of public officials who fall in that category. how can anyone believe anything he says when it becomes obvious that he is being untruthful. this country is strong enough to survive clinton or any other president with flawed character.

Resign? Why? Nothing criminal has yet to be proven against either the President or his wife. Twenty-five million dollars have been spent by the "special prosecutor" and he hasn't been able to pin a single criminal act on the Clintons. Just watch the truth about Tripp and her book deal unravel this week, and you'll see the real reason for this nonsense.

No! President Clinton should definitely not resign. Give them hell, Mr. President. Many Americans are pained by this gory spectacle - this Impeachment by Television. It was spear-headed by ABC's Jackie Judd, with Sam Donaldson enjoying every minute of it, basking in the gory glory of destroying a president. All these high-paid joo\urnalists, notably Sam Donaldson, are confusing their own megalomania with the role of journalists: to deal with facts - not the fictitious blabberings of a twenty-something neurotic Beverly Hills brat. Has it occured to them that she is the one who may have been chasing the President?

I would like to ask the editors and journalists of the New York Times if I have the right to ask them to disclose to the world their sexual escapades. The New York Times of all newspapers, should not ask for such disclosure. It's bad enough that Ken Starr has exceeded his mandate to investigate Whitewater by cascading his inquisitional powers to meander into a different matter -the Trapp allegations.

The media frenzy totally distorts the real facts. It brings up a vision of a bunch of ratings=hungry sharks tearing apart an innocent victim before he has a chance to defend himself. The media has been twisting allegations into facts; false accusations into final verdicts. And every shallow-minded reporter is now editorializing, and gingerly acting as jury, judge and executioner, instead of just reporting the facts.

ABC cares little if its mad drive for ratings will destroy the country or the presidency. Cockie Roberts, an able newswoman - delved into the President's sexual morality Sunday morning, as id she were a high-priestess, demandidng an answer from the President's defender. They dubbed it Zipper-Gate. May I suggest Button-it-Gate. Clinton's sex-life is none of the media's or anybody's business. Some sane people feel the president's private life is his business. All that matters is that he has done a magnificent job of extricating the country from decades of failed Republican leadership. And this witch-hunt by Republicans is fueled by their fear that with Clinton's amazing record, the Republican Party has a snowball's chance in hell of re-capturing the White House. So mostly, this Witch-hunt is By Republicans; for Republicans, of Republicans. They have failed with Gennifer Flowers; so they subsidized the legal fund and makeover of Paula Jones -- now a dirty blonde --still with a dark past, still most unappealing, still not credible; but they hope Miss Levinsky will be their salvation. I hope not.

Historians may view Clinton's term of office as a breath of fresh air, a golden era. If all this media malice and Right-Wing Republican venom that is being spewed over the air and the internet succeeds in bending people's minds and driving this president out of office, we will all be the victims of a Medieval Witch-hunt. And the Year 2000 will regress into the Dark Ages.

It is tragic that a president whose goal was to propel the country into the 20th century should be dragged down by the backward mentality of misguided puritans.

No, there should neither be a resignation nor impeachment.

Respect Clinton's privacy, respect his position of leadership, tolerate his humanity, his weaknesses, his mistakes, and give him the chance to continue with his positive agenda. The success of his policies will enrich our lives. It would be too tragic for the world to lose such a leader over such a petty matter.

The only question in my mind is why didn't Clinton get Monica Lewinsky to commit arkanscide when he had the chance. Of course it is the fault of the press, the right, talk radio, the internet, Kenneth Starr, Paula Jones, and just about anyone but Bill Clinton 's fault.

You Americans are real good hipocrates. You expect your president to be a person who never sleeps around and when exposed to admit the same, Idoubt if you can find many such people in USA who can fulfil these two rather difficult conditions. All these people who want him to resign would have to resign from there own jobs if adultery and lying are the criteria.

To execute the Office of President a man need both legal and moral authority. Clinton has totally lost the moral authority. I am ashamed and embarrassed by his activities and inability to tell the truth about it. For the good of the country it is time to RESIGN!!

He was a Model president. But, now ...... YES.

I believe strongly that President Clinton has been as good a president as he could possibly be, given the continuing witch hunts and allegations that have been thrown his way. I feel also very strongly that if the man is doing his job it is realy no bodys business what he does with his personal sexlife. and even the President has to have some time for his personal life. Not only that, if we wanted everyone in washington politics to resign because of extramarital sex acts or unethical practices then Washinton D.C. would be a gohst town, in a matter of hours. I strongly believe that all who want to cast guilt onto the president had better look first into their own closets.I feel that the Republican party has done absotlutly nothing to help the people of this country by continually keeping the president under fire for alot of what seem to be trumped up un-provable allegations. But then we all know that the republicans don,t give a damn about the american people anyway, they are only out to pad their own pockets and to control all the money. The republican way you know is for the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer. At least Mr. Clinton is in there trying to do for all americans and I feel he could do a realy good job if all the damn republicans would stop their whineing and mud slinging and get down to helping run this country.Most of all I do not think it is fair to even considering to ask for the president to resign unless the allegations a proven to be true as it is supposed to be the american way to be innocent until proven guilty. Other wise how would a lot of you feel if some made up something about you at your job and got you fired for it and it was untrue, I don"t think you , any of you would take it well. A great many of you that speak and preach of morals really should get a reality check, about the real world, and once again examine your own morals before casting stones, Thanks Keith Hollingsworth

I can hardly believe some of the stuff I read above. The sorry thing about this whole mess is that this is the same media that has been fawning over the Clintons! Now those Clinton supporters who were so quick to agree with all the sickening powder puff BS that the media spewed for so many years, they now vilify the same ranks they so eagerly lined up with......In my opinion this country needs it's people to wake up and begin to think for themselves. Only then will the TRUE light of freedom and justice be seen by all.

"There's an Isle south of Miami that would be just perfect for their EXILE....I understand Castro has a thing for Hillary, so she could get some payback......." - Unnamed political spectator

In the overall scheme of things, his probably having an affair doesn't really matter. It destroys him, not because of the affair, but because it makes him out to be even more of a hypocrite.

His biggest flaw as a President, I think, is that he often seems to be lying. Most people thought of him as a womanizer, and although probably not pleased about it, they could live with it.

If it is shown that he is lying about this one, he is seriously crippled as a President. If you have a leader that you can't believe, he ceases to be a leader. If he says we need to do something in the Persian Gulf, who knows whether he is telling the truth or not.

If she is not lying, and like most people I believe someone I don't know over the President of the United States, then he should leave office. He can't get into some lawyerese nitpicking over semantics. If he had sex with the woman, he should resign. Not because he had sex with her, but because he has continued to try to make us believe he hasn't. He may have not technically said that he didn't have sex with her, but it was the impression he was trying to leave.

I voted for him, but he can't continue if he really did have sex with her.

No, I don't think that Bill Clinton should resign. I think he's doing a better job for this country than I have seen in all the years I have been voting. I don't think that we elected him for his moral standards. I don't think we elect anyone on their moral standards. If we did, we'd be hard pressed to find any one to vote for. As far as I'm concerned, Hillary is the only one who should be the judge of this. As far as lying under oath, I think that would be my first reaction too. He was backed up against the wall--remember, this wasn't making a political or government decision. This was an entirely different part of his life. A part that we shouldn't even know anything about, because it's none of our business. And if it were not for the exploitation of it in the media. We wouldn't. I'm beginning to think BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, Mr. President. This is a very scary thought. Be aware of hidden tape recorders and other such devices. And above all. Stay right where you are and finish out your term.

HECK NO! What a bunch a hoopla about nothing! Lets stick to the matters at hand and let BILL CLINTON run the Country. The gossipers are the ones causing Clintons family embarassment. Let our President finish his term in office and if the voters want a new President then vote to make their choices then!!!! Sorry AL!

You Americans are real good hipocrates. When gay & lesbian marriages, living together without marriage, abortion and teeanage pregnancy are the order of the day you expect your president to be a different person. As Jesus said let the person who is above this cast the first stone.

Absolutely! How can these people say that "the people" need to leave him alone and let him run the country. He's done everything but run the country. If he's got time to grope an intern, do it on his time, not the countries. I just can't wait to see the "James Gang", James Carvel and his media goons, get a hold of this one. They are the master's of illusion. Clinton and his whole crew are a bunch of crooks and need to be ousted. America deserves better.

I believe most Americans are misinformed about the role of Clinton in the economical recovery. That is why they do not want to "change horse in the middle of the stream" and willing to forgive him even if he lied under oath. Factors completely outside his control are resposible for the present economy. Clinton was lucky to be at the right place at the right time; even Quail would have achieved the same results.

This whole thing is a circus and I wouldn't be surprised if it was all contrived by a third party (!) who was trying to deflect the American public's attention from another issue. Don't we all have better things to do in our own lives? Let him do his job and let us all do our own!!

Bill Clinton never had credibility; he had charisma. Years of waffling showed he was never an effective President; fortunately the job has little power. However, the President of the US should be a leader. He has repetedly shown that he is unwilling to follow the laws of this country. I think Kelly Flynn should be reinstated and Clinton should resign.

Bill Clinton has done much good for his country and the nation. As the saying goes, No man is perfect. It is still strange to find one good human being on earth who have not sinned , just like our Lord JESUS said in Mary Magdeline's case, let the first who have not sinned cast a stone on her. Well, what happened?

You, my dear friends, you can't just condemn a man because he has (I don't know for sure) committed adultery that he is not worthy and capable of running the presidency post. What about those so called "WOMEN" who claimed to have involved in his life. Why do they wait till now, after such a long time to cast arrows- unmerciful and unjustful ones. Is this all for Vitamin 'M', or for fun to destroy him most probably provoked by other sources.

All you beautiful citizens could you kindly examine your conscience before you say .....such things about him.

Think of the sleepless nights he kept awake to settle the country's problems and crisis. Whenever there is a problem sprouting in any part of the world, he is the one who helps. Turmoil in Iraq, Iran. Who is the one who carried the burdens of his brothers upon his shoulders. This, this one man and he is Mr Bill Clinton and his office members. They have all dedicated so much to U.S. and to the world.

I know he is the president who ought to be respected and saluted for the tremendous achievement and progress which he has brought and exercised most deligently.

God Bless and keep over you.

Thank you to, Judy Reynolds, Oliver Lamb, Rich barbaccia and Cherli Day.

the stupid guy should 'fess up and admit he did it then he should wait and let us impeach him he is a filthy lair he did it and he knows he did it he should be out of office asap he is so full of crap his eyes are brown he is a disgrace to this great country to his party to his fammily and to all americans evry were since this scandle i have lost all respect for this jerk he did it he tried to cover it up then he lied about it i hope this great nation of ours unites to kick him out other than the presdint the american system is OK it needs repairs but we should keep all of it except for the president we have had many great presidents and this a-hole aint one of them

No, President Clinton should not resign. Do somebody has any proof of misconduct? Apparently a young lady spoke over the phone with a friend about her intimate realities or fantasies. Nobody really knows the truth? An alleged friend who betrayed the confidence and privacy recording the phone conversation, or an obscure prosecutor who can not clear any water and is trying to build a reputation, nor the press that does not enjoy publishing this situations, none of them really know what happened. So, why resign? (In all other cases, ho shouln't resign neither.

It's simply too early to tell whether he should resign. We only have accusations and no legally-admissable facts.

Keep in mind, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Kennedy, some of the top-name Presidents, were all in the same boat with Mr. Clinton.

The issue comes to this. Does he tell the truth? We know, undeniably, that he does not. He sat in front of millions of Americans and told us, point-blank, that he never had an affair with Gennifer Flowers. Then he went to court and admitted he did.

I hope the stories aren't true. This is damaging to the Institution of the Presidency and to the United States of America. Resignation or Impeachment, while they may remove him from office, don't leave any "winners." We are, after all, one nation, under God.

However, we need to cautiously and thoroughly investigate. But eventually, we will have to make a decision. If the perjury accuation is true, he must go. If the perjury accusation is not true, but the affair is true, and he has repeated lied to us, then he should be a man and move on.

If none of it's true, we should take the press our and horse-whip them all.

Bill's ethos has sunken so low that he no longer has the credibility necessary to effectively carry out the office of the presidency. He should resign. If he does not resign, he will face impeachment, both because he committed perjury and because he suborned purjury, either personally or through his operatives.

This president's modus operandi has always been to lie and deny first, then admit only what others can prove, all the while stonewalling any investigation while purporting to "cooperate fully".

If the president were cooperating fully in this instance, why did he order the justice department to fight releasing the visitor logs? Principle? The very thought that this president has principle is humorous. What about the security video showing the comings and goings of people around the oval office? What about the phone records?

Come on folks! The president is lying, he has lied before in the same situation, and he is lying now. This time, he is lying under oath in a federal case. That would certainly be a "high crime or misdemeanor".

Resign Bill. It's an election year. You're going to bring your whole party down with you.

No the President should not resign. He should probably just learn to keep his fly zipped. The Republicans should stop practicing partisan politics when it is not an election year. I think that is treasonous since it does not contribute to moving ahead with the business of running the country. The whole Whitewater thing should be dropped because it is obvious that people are just grasping at straws for sensationalism. Jeez. Run the stupid country you guys. The media should stop reporting from such slanted viewpoints. Oh, by the way, if we are so free in our beautiful America then why is censorship so rampant? Anyway, to get back to the original subject; Mr. Clinton is doing as good a job as he is being allowed to do. Perhaps he is allowed to run some domestic policies, I don't know but the important stuff is out of his hands. The only real gripe I have with the way Clinton is handling the tasks given him is the fact that he is allowing the senior citizens to be bankrupted by medical costs. Social Security is being raped and so is Medicare. Our government should be ashamed of itself for things like that, not boinking some dumb secretary. If someone were to step up and take charge perhaps we could continue the growth he have seen recently without caving in to asian pressure. (Those of you who read this and are concerned about being politically correct can blow me.) I think the truth is important. If he had sex with some bimbo then he had sex with some bimbo. So what? So did Kennedy. That in itself does not affect the performance of his job. The bottom line is the fact that President Clinton is performing his duties to the best of his knowledge. A figurehead can only do so much. If he wanted to really get something done he would have to speak out on so many subjects that he has no control over that somebody would do something horrible to him. I hope he survives this silly scandal and perhaps uses it to the country's advantage somehow. I doubt it though because it seems as though the people in charge in the U. S. A. are all suffering from severe sphincteritis. God help us.

Sincerely but with tongue in cheek :) Bill

No, he should not resign, unless he is guilty of obstruction of justice. If it is at all possible, he should ignore the Kangaroo court of the media and Ken Starr, and keep on doing his job as the president.

It boggles my mind that the press has nothing better with which to create headlines than someone's personal life. Bill Clinton was "hired" by the voters to do a job - run the country. So far, in spite of all the witch hunts and allegations thrown his way, he has done a great job. His personal foibles should be discussed with and his behavior judged by his wife. She is the one who is entitled to judge, berate and whatever else she chooses to do because it effects ONLY HER! The media has brought this to the forefront as if they have all the facts, and we are being asked to pass judgement with very limited information which may or may not be true. Would you want to be in the position of being judged on hearsay? I think not. Let the President do what he was "hired" to do and leave his personal life alone. I have yet to read any denunciations of the women involved, who are all adults and who actively participated in these acts. Were they totally blameless? Or did the magnet of power attract them and when they could not become a part of that circle, did they find a way to get even? It's women like these who give the rest of us a bad name.

What an amazing scene! Not only are the U.S. media lapping up Ken Starr's shenanigans like dogs lapping up their own vomit, the vast majority of U.S. citizens are jumping up and down on both "sides" of this so-called debate like pre-programmed jumping jacks. We have all already lost becausee we have refused to use our own minds; we have elected the man we deserve and we have bought the idea that what is said in the corporate-owned media is important. Sorry to be so pessimistic, but this whole thing is incredibly pathetic. Peace.

No!--While I did not vote for the guy I have learned to like his management style. It is up to Mrs. Clinton to judge her husband and it is up God to have the final word. In the mean time, I question the lack of care by the people of our country on such issues as guns, drugs, killings of teenagers over nothing, gangs, lack of respect, ect. There are to many other things to worry about. The presidents reputation on his personal affairs have nothing to do with how he runs the country.We as as country have become to used to gossip and dirt. Shame on us. Lets get to the real issues and stop wasting our tax dollars on dirt.

President Clinton should not resign. He has done a great job and will continue to do a great with the media and the republicans will let me do his job that we americans elected him to do. This so called scandal is between President Clinton and his wife. The American people are tired of reading junk mail watching junk on TV about our president.

I don't understand why it is so important to the country what Bill Clinton does on his own time. In fact, didn't JFK have an affair with Marilyn Monroe while he was in office? Furthermore, the president seems to be carrying on with business as usual by working on tomorrow's State of the Union address. Obviously this recent setback hasn't hindered his ability to remain an effective leader for our country. How do we even know the allegations are true? Leave the poor man alone!

I enclose part of an article that was published in the Seattle Times last Friday:

Analysis: Case is ultimate test of Clinton character

by Dick Polman Knight Ridder Newspapers

The proclamation for National Character Week, held in October 1996, had this to say: "This week we celebrate the fact that Character Counts. . . .Individual character involves honoring and embracing certain core ethical values: honesty, respect, responsibility. . . . Parents must teach their children from the earliest age the difference between right and wrong. But we must all do our part." It was signed, "William J. Clinton."

Imagine if he made that proclamation today. Even 72 hours ago he would have been able to mount his bully pulpit, play the national dad, and hit those themes - comforted by his 61 percent approval rating, secure in the belief that peace and a bull market would buoy his fortunes forever. Maybe he was a bit of a rogue back in Arkansas, but now he was a fifty something with a hearing aid and a puppy, and he seemed to be consumed with matters of state.

As for the Republicans, they had tried for years to use the character issue against him and were growing weary of waiting for the silver bullet that would bring him down.

Now, miraculously, it appears that Clinton may have put a bulls-eye on his own back, as if he is determined to demonstrate, by actions seriously alleged, that character does indeed matter, that private conduct cannot be divorced from public performance. It's far too early to say whether these new allegations - that he had sex with a White House intern young enough to be his daughter, then urged her to deny it under oath - will loosen his grip on the office.

But the tales about sex, lies and audiotape have already stolen attention from his job, relegating visiting Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cameos and casting a pall over his State of the Union speech next Tuesday.

And therein lies the potential tragedy. He pleaded on Wednesday, "I have got to get back to work," but there can be no business as usual, not unless the most explosive allegations of his presidency are laid to rest. Clinton is arguably the most gifted politician of his era, but his professional strengths may have become hostage to his personal flaws.

What's happening right now is deadly serious business. The president is America's chief law-enforcement officer. If he coaxed the intern, Monica Lewinsky, to lie under oath in a recent affidavit, or if he lied under oath last Saturday when he reportedly denied any affair with Lewinsky, those are federal crimes - and impeachable. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The article that I posted above is right on target. Clinton clearly seems to have lost his moral authority to lead effectively. I hope that the democratic leaders can convince him to do "the right thing" and resign.

What a BUM ! How did he ever ger re-elected?

I don't understand why everyone is so surprised that Bill is lying..... every time he opens his mouth a lie flies out of it.

Can I believe that he is lying?? YES he is a married man who got caught with his pants down.

I think he should run (not walk) to the nearest TV station and tell the whole truth, not his version of the (half) truth.

I don't think he should resign. I don't agree with perjury either. Just because everyone lies and cheats doesn't make it alright! I think we need to take a look at how he is running our country, thats his job!

I think Bill Clinton can still effectively hold office. I believe that if he was stupid enough to do something like this then it's time for Hillary to pack his bags and put hime out of 1600 Pensylvania Ave. I hope the truth comes out for both of their sakes. Everyday men don't usually get fired for cheating why should he, and of course everyone makes mistakes, but if this is true this is no mistake it was just plain stupid.

First of all, I think the media needs to pull back and wait until it actually has some NEWS to give us. All of these nanosecond updates have taken on a schoolyard gossip quality. Now, as far as Clinton having had or not had "sexual relations" with anyone, I think it's safe to say Duh! The question here isn't about the sex, it's the cover up attempt. If that has occurred (and this wouldn't be the first CLinton cover up) then it needs to be dealt with. By the way, the CLinton's have to be the most inept bunch of crooks ever. Nothing they've tried to cover up has stayed hidden! It's like ma and Pa Kettle at the White House!

Personally, I don't feel that he should resign his post. His judge for this particular occurance is of a higher judge than any man, and that is the beginning and the end. Is anyone perfect??? And should you to be fired from your job because of rumors or other imperfect acts according to others, even though you have strenthed your company's growing power by any percentage? It dont appear to me that our country will be devided because of it. We divide ourselves because this is america. Is that your daughter on Jenny Jones?? Money is the root of all evil...

Step down.

And when is everyone going to learn that the President of the United States does not have sole control over the guidance of the American economy? Just because the economy is booming does not mean that it was something the President did to make it so. Do you really think that Alan Greenspan takes orders from Clintonocchio?

I don't understand this the american people .You chase your presidents from the beginning for what , for a blow job , oh my god.? And at least if he dont know what to do and l betray you a little bit you throw him away. I beg you pardon for Bill Clinton. he is the best president you have had the last 20 years.

As a canadian citizen I'm as concerned as everyone else in north america as to what happens to the President of the United States of America.I don't think the media nor the majority of the people have given Mr.Clinton a chance to defend himself . He was asked questions by some prominent journalists, and he answered the questions.If he lied , that's a serious matter, and if he did, he certainly should be impeached. Meanwhile I will refrain from judging the Man and declare him guilty of alleged misconduct

President Clinton's time in history will be short enough regardless if he resigns or is impeached. Seeing Mr. Bill's history of denial I will bet my two cents that he will be able to survive regardless of what evidence is eventually uncovered. I feel more poorly that I am surrounded by so many amoral morons that voted for him and still suport Clinton regardless of the abundant facts of corruption and abuses of power. I pray that the Union as described in the constitution is able to survive Clinton's brash attempt to undermine the principles of freedom, justice and liberty for his own benefit. If and when the citizens of the USA awake from our collective apathetic orgy of self-interest... the Clinton years will seem like a bad dream that was real. God help us.

Bill Clinton has brought shame to the presidency of the United States. While I think what he does behind closed doors is HIS business, as a leader he must come to grips to the reality that it will--sooner or later, become public knowledge. As such, I feel that he owes the people of this country an apology for his disregard for the position he holds--one which should be held with dignity and integrity--two primary things he lacks. Personally, I think he should be impeached, not resign. He is a manipulator and a liar and should go down as a corrupt official.

The president will continue to hide behind his lawyers, give more lies of his innocence, and try to ride this out. He has always gotten away with this behavior in the past and so will try again. If the chas of perjury, subornation of perjury and obstruction of justice are true, he should resign immediately.

What a sad moment for America. Just the turmoil that we have with each other is enough to notice the trouble that this administration, and specifically Clinton, is causing. It saddens me to hear all of the Clinton backers speak without really even thinking first. All of you defenders of Clinton who use the line of defense that you don't think that he had the affair and that this is all a scheme by his political enemies are blind and ignorant and are obviously choosing to believe only what you want to believe. The fact that he has already lied about one affair and obviously thinks he can manipulate the english language to deceive the the American people. Please don't tell me that you are too blind to know when you are being lied to. Most of you seemed to admit that he has had an affair, but it just doesn't matter to you.

So, for those Clinton defenders who say that he had the affair, but it doesn't matter, many of you are also saying that it's okay that he lied under oath. Those of you who say that obviously have a lack of respect for the American legal system. There is no way that anybody, whether you are president or not, should get away with perjury in a criminal investigation. Nobody else in this country would get away with it, nor should Clinton. Those of you that make this claim should have your thoughts and opinions dismissed from this debate of (hopefully) rational thinking people. There are also a fair number of Clinton defenders who believe he had the affair, but don't believe he broke the law. And many of you think that if it is proven that broke the law then he should pay the penalty.

At least the defenders have the common sense to see that Clinton is lying about the affair and have the decency to respect justice and the legal system by which we live (if you don't hold everyone accountable to the law then there would be complete chaos). However, the main defense is that he is doing a good job of running the country. My response to that is: How is he doing a good job of running the country? Most use the economy to answer that question. The economy is minimally effected by the president. The main way that Clinton effected the economy in a positive way was to keep the Bush appointed Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan. He's the one that has had the most control over the growth of the economy. It's also sad to think that the way that that the American people judge the highest office in the land is not by the reputation that he/she gives our country but by how fat he/she can make our pocketbooks. What our president does in his/her personal life certainly has an effect on how well he/she can perform his/her duties. How will women that have to work with Clinton change their behavior because of his past? How will foreign leaders change the way they look at him and respect him because of what he has done? By no means do the behaviors of Clinton compare to the atrocities of Hitler, but there is a good comparison. The Germans were willing to overlook the abuse of power that Hitler exercised over and over again because the economy was great, he brought them from post-war recession to international power and they believed they had a better life. I'm not making the claim that Clinton has commited any crime like that of Hitler, but the analogy holds true that no matter how well he acts as leader of our country, if you do the crime you must do the time.

Our poor, poor country. I don't care whether he resigns or not, the damage is already done.

Yes, President Clinton has lost the credibility he needs to reamin effective in the White House. He is the leader of this country and commander-in-chief of our Armed Forces. One of the most important qualities of a good leader is leadership by example. It is taught in the Military, our Nation's school and should pertain to the leader of our Nation.

Former Air Force Pilot Kelly Flinn believes in this, I'll bet. She was a respected pilot who not only lost her job, but her commission as a United States Air Force Officer. Her ability to serve our Nation was taken away because of sexual relations with other people she worked with.

If that is a standard the commander-in-chief of our Armed Forces wants to hold to the individuals under his charge, then let it apply to him.

Just in case anyone would like to lash back at me by saying it hasn't been proven that he had a sexual relationship with Lewinski...he admitted to having an affair with Flowers last week.

I don't think that the American public can believe a statement that comes from the President on the current questions that are being asked of him. I think, that alone, is call for his resignation. (I am not the only person who feels that way, in a poll being conducted by MSNBC over the internet, 78% of 125,000 Americans polled stated that they do not believe the President's denial of the "Affair".)

Don't blame this on the Media...they are the ones who get the President elected...blame it on the President. He's the one I can no longer trust.

ARE YOU NUTS? IT'S YOUR PRESIDENT. AND, HE IS ALSO A MAN, NOT A TOY OR A STONE.

Of course not. If anyone should resign, it is Ken Starr, who has sunk lower now than in his entire history as an 'investigator'. The President's 'scandals', such as they are, are not comparable to Watergate, October Surprise, or Iran-Contra, and yet, those were all treated as minor offenses by the corporate media and the GOP. Let's get a little perspective here, folks.

The perjury charge is somewhat more disconcerting, but in a nation with such a Vicotorian attitude about sex, a President would be lynched for admitting to an affair (assuming one took place). Democrats get beat up for trivial matters, the GOP gets away with murder. It's sickening.

With great power comes great responsibility. It is time the American people think about what it right instead of "Hey, the economy is great. What do I care?". He should resign.

After everything that has gone on with the current Admnistration, it would be best for President Clinton to resign. After that takes place, the DNC needs to be totally revamped - get rid of all the political garbage there.

Center for American Values From a poll taken from millions of concerned citizens, Center For American Values will tabulate and process information to all 535 members of the House and the Senate, as well as the news media, as an accurate reflection of the 105,098 members and supporters of the Center for American Values. Our President says he believes in family standards, good character, and qualities that our young people can look up to as examples of the idea of the American Dream:

1.Do you think Congress should begin impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton and Albert Gore? YES.

2.In your best guess, do you think either Bill Clinton, Albert Gore or both will be impeached or forced to resign before their terms expire? YES - But forced.

3.In your opinion, how serious is the “Chinagate” scandal - in which Clinton and Gore gave Communist China trade concessions and other special favors in exchange for illegal campaign contributions? Potentially criminal.

4.Which Clinton Administration scandal listed below do you think is probably the most serious? Undecided - Chinagate, Travelgate, Whitewater-gate, FB?I “Filegate,” Cattlegate, Troopergate, and Paula Jones’ sexual harassment charges.

5.Do you think the news media has been as tough on the Clinton White House as the Nixon White House? Or is there a double - standard? There is a double-standard. The media has been much easier on Clinton and Gore.

6.Do you think Congress has done a good job investigating allegations of wrongdoing in the Clinton Administration? NO.

7.Is good character important in a President of the United States? YES.

8.Who do you think the Democrats will nominate to run for President in the year 2000? Albert Gore - targeted.

What kind of trouble is our President in? China-gate (election fraud and treason), perjury, obstruction of justice, and unlawful abuses of power, to name a few.

CAV’s special reports and publications are always in heavy demand by Congress and the news media because their research is extensively documented and can be relied upon as accurate and authoritative.

Right now, you have the media, DNC Cabinet members and the Clintons in denial. The truth needs to come out. We need a president that will serve the American people and not the PACs that Clinton is really reffering to when he says he needs to get back to the American people.

NO! The only person who should care if Bill was fooling around is Hilary. It is none of our business. Why does the media have to rake every little thing over the coals. He has been a good leader. Leave the poor guy alone. Star is not being very objective in this matter if what the press says is true. He (Star) should resign.

I think this is totally out of control. First of all President Clinton should get a law started that no President can be sued while in office. This Paula Jones thing is out of hand. We have more important issues at hand...that have to do with the well being of the United States of America and it's people. Leave the poor guy alone and let him get on with his job. Geez for that matter if we want to prosecute him, then let us dig into every other politicians background and prosecute them all. Why pick on the President?...lets pick on all the leaders. We have Saddam out there and our press is worried about Bill Clintons dirty laundry. I think every good President had a mistress or two, so what ?? no one cared before, so why now? And his poor daughter..look at what the press is doing to her, it's hard enough for her to go to Standford and be the Presidents daughter, but now they are picking on her dad and she's totally helpless in school. This country has reached a sad day when it doesn't back it's own President. And why is it that nobody picked on the repulicans when Reagan was President and loosing his memory...and Nancy ran the country for him? Leave our President alone and let him get on with his job, for god sakes people, look in your own backyard, before you start cleaning out his!....

the pecker is quelty kill him

Mr. Clinton's time in the Presidential Office has been filled with problems, inuendo, crises, and trouble from the very beginning. He has helped the country in some ways, I must admit. But he has also been a poor example to the youth of the nation. First as a draft dodger. Second as a drug user. And finally as an immoral man. Personally, I wish he would resign now, and maybe we can rescue some of the kids from his bad influence.

It is obvious that this president has always seen himself above the law, and able to "finesse" his way out of any situation. Well, sorry Bill, but your lies have caught up with you. Why don't you do us all a favor and resign, so we can scrape together what's left of our dignity as a nation, and continue on. And yes, personal integrity DOES matter.

No!!!! Those who are seeking the media coverage and those who are in office may "Cast the first stone." if they are pure and righteous!!! Does this mean that every person out in the world who has had an affair or aledged affair must resign their jobs? Does this mean that they are unfit to perform their duties of their assignments and does this mean that they must make public their affairs. I know too many people who make decisions on a daily basis that immediately affect me and my family that have had or are having affairs. Does this mean that we cannot trust anyone or must question then left and right. Remember what happened to Princess Di and what the reporters did to her life--they took it away-----let them resign and pay first and then let the media who helped coverup and kill President Kennedy resign and pay and what about the other presidents who led this country and the affairs they had. I'm sure there are many goings on that we could never imagine nor want to. It's for him to answer to his daughter and wife and God--not us. Let him do his job. And for all you more holier than thou folks--suck it up-you're not perfect!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe that Bill Clinton should resign now, rather than be pushed out through impeachment with no self-decency left at all.

This whole ordeal really bothers me. I was raised to believe that adultery is wrong. I was also raised to believe that the President should be seen as an honorable, highly respected individual. What should I do now?

I am only 20 years old, and I already have a sour taste in my mouth.

If a president has NO RESPECT for his own family,then what Kind of respect do you think he has for the American citizens?NO,the accusations have not been proven,but the way Whitehouse officials and respected members of the media are acting right now,I believe they will be! This whole issue cannot be blamed on the MEDIA(which every one wants to blame for everything) or the REPUBLICANS!The only one to be blamed for this embarrassment is the PRESIDENT himself!He has absolutely no Morals or character! I hear people say "look at what he's done for our country". What has he done??Maybe on a monetary aspect he's done very well in alot of peoples eyes,but look at the big picture. Look at how low morals in our country have fell since slick-willy came into office!I mean how could people care about morals when their own PRESIDENT has none what-so-ever!It's acually ironic that HILLARY writes a book "It takes a village"and talks about how it takes a whole community to raise a child,and the fact is that her own husband still acts like a high school senior,whore hopping every chance he gets!!I could go on and on but I'll end it here!! Should BILL CLINTON resign?YES,YES,YES,and please take the staff with you BILL!!!

I think it is quite telling that the people who seem to be screaming the loudest for the President's resignation aren't able to spell the word, or put in into a properly structured sentence. I feel horrible for the President's wife and daughter, and I feel badly for him, too. This all feels very much like a Let's-Get-the-Hillbilly campaign. The man was a Rhodes scholar, for pete's sake! Just because he speaks with a Southern accent, don't assume that he's an idiot. The answer, then, is NO. He should stay where he is, and hang tough, and do the job.

The sexual misconduct is irrelevant. Bill lied under oath. He perjured himself. Doesn't anyone care about loyalty? Doesn't a man's word mean something to anyone anymore? He gave his word to us, the American people. He broke it. He has defiled us and his office. Whatever happens in this case it is clear the level of apathy in this country. Where a willing public allows this to continue. I do not care who they are. In public office, you represent me, my neighbor, and their neighbor. Keep your pants zipped, your lies to yourself, and do your job. After all we put him there, it is our fault. Time to fix the mistake and stop making them.

As a Canadian I am appalled to see so much finger pointing going on. President Clinton MAY be guilty of indiscretion here, but whatever happened to the idea that everyone has the right to have his case heard by a group of his peers before he is found guilty. I honestly believe that all of us at one point in our lives have done something to cause pain for others but I dare say that at some point the truth has emerged and we either have or will pay the consequences. Only God and President Clinton know what the truth is. Therefore, let the man do the job he was elected to do and take a look at ourselves before we decide that we should be judge, jury and executioner.

Bill Clinton can fool all of the people some of the time, he can fool some of the people all of the time, but he can't fool all the people all of the time! How can anyone possibly believe him? Just think about the Flowers affair, where he urged Ms. Flowers to deny, deny, deny! I can not believe that the morality of America has sunk so low as to think that adultery is OK. People say that it's OK for him to be adulterous as long as he can run the country (what hogwash)...where has all our morals gone? People seem to think that he has singlehandedly solved America's problem, people have such short memories! He should do the best for the country when all is said and done and resign.

Why is the subject of resignation even being discussed? The President has not been convicted nor ...(NEWS FLASH)...charged with any crime. It seems most unfortunate that he has already been tried and convicted in the court of public opinion before all the facts have been gathered and disseminated.

Even thought the American people put Mr. Clinton into office he has been a complete discrace to the American people and what America really stands for during the past 6 years. So far there is not enough evidence to impeach him but there is enough to ask him to resign and the people should ask him too.

If Bill Clinton tampered with a witness in a trail, he should be prosecuted. If he resigns, all the better. What I can't understand is all the press this one scandal has got. This is surely a minor incident compared to the others this White House has been a part of. Why are people outraged by the "secret" recording of Lewinsky, but not outraged by a "President", who may have had sex with an employee only a few years older than his daughter, used a bank loan set aside for minorities to finance a land deal, and vetoed a bill that would have stopped LIVING babies from being killed as they are delivered? How can any married couple endorse a man that cheats on his wife. Character matters, otherwise, how can anything he says be believed? This cannot be written off mean spirited Republicans out to get the President. I don't think Newt was in the White House, coaxing Bill to have extra-marital sex. As for the President presiding over the best economy, who controls interest rates in this country? Last time I checked, it was Allen Greenspan. As for the President reducing the deficit, I thought spending appropriations were generated by Congress. Fact is, if it weren't for Greenspan, and a frugal Republican Congress, this President would not be able to fool the ignorant masses. The man is a compulsive liar, he is a adulterer, he takes credit for successes he had little or no part of. If it takes a 24 year old White House intern to topple him, all the better. The intelligence of the average Clinton supporter is well documented on this page.

No, President Clinton should not resign. The most important thing about being the President of the United States is that he can effectively run the country. Obviously, from his past record, from the booming economy, the decreasing crime rate and the decreasing unemployment rate, it is patently clear that President Clinton is a good President. I personally don't care what he does in his private life. If he indeed had a sexual relationship with Ms. Lewinsky, she is as much to blame as is he. I
