No, he wasn't the first president to commit perjury while in office. Do you recall Reagan and Iran Contra? You bought all that " I don't recall" BS?

while you're purely a guy sell coverage. The President of the USA of a must be above napping around. no longer purely for morality yet for useful motives. ladies and men persons will circulate to great extents to lie approximately their affairs (perjury everyone). Plus if it become nicely-known that your weak spot is sexuality then it is exploited by utilising your enemies. JFK slept with a Soviet agent. There are basically too many stuff which could circulate incorrect while you're interior the genuine workplace. So i've got self belief you have t make the alternative between pudgy interns or working the unfastened international with all its perks and privileges.

No way. It's been known for quite a while that JFK was a consummate womanizer. FDR had a mistress and so did Ike. I'm sure that many, many other presidents have had mistresses or affairs. But we just don't know about them. The thing that sets Clinton apart is that he flaunted his sexual liaisons and many of the women he had came forward. Plus, lying to congress is the thing that got him into hot water.

Oh heavens no. Some of our other Presidents had affairs. Some may have lied and some may not. Democrat Grover Cleveland had an illegitimate child admitted it and supported the child into adulthood. Warren G. Harding, a Republican always seemed to have a mistress or two. FDR was accused of having an affair with his secretary and IKE with his driver. Harding's trysts were kept hushed up and FDR and IKE denied their dalliances.

The people who considered this an important enough issue to pursue an investigation into the sex life of a sitting President don't have enough excitement in their own lives. They are the product of an environment in which we are rapidly losing our ability to distinguish between entertainment and real life. Presidents and rock stars are treated the same by the people who follow their lives. Tommy Lee's sex tape is as important as a Presidential election, and Bill Clinton's dalliance with Monica Lewinsky is given the same amount of air time as Nixon's Watergate scandal.
They got what they wanted. They found something he'd be willing to lie about under oath. Couldn't get him on any important issues, so they backed him into a corner and we found out that -
Meanwhile, he is STILL more loved than Bush is. And Clinton was IMPEACHED.
What does that say?

No, but he was the first man to get caught lying to a grand jury while he was President of the United States.

His affair was the only thing he did that I admired. A man his age, bangin a barely legal girl in the oval office, finger inches from the button. Whose the President, oh yeah, it's good to be the Presdient.

No..but most men do not commit perjury while holding the highest office in the land and then pretend they don't know what the definition of sex is...he was a joke...
He was also accused of rape...several affairs came to light...when did he have time to run the country? Did he schedule meetings between bj's...

No, but having affairs on the taxpayer's dime in the oval office probably counts as a first.

Of course not, but, he is the first President of the United States to do it and get caught.
