Why do people focus on the negative aspects of people more than the positive ones?

Question

For example, Bill Clinton was a GREAT President, yet people were more interested in his sexual encounters. Who cares? What does adultery have to do with running a country?

Johnny - I'm not saying that he is the best President. I agree, he did some things that weren't so great, but he also did some great things for our country, however 10 years later, the only thing people talk about with him is the whole monica thing. To me, adultery is wrong yes, but it also has no bearing on how you do your job. What happens in his private life should be left in his private life.

Answer 1

exactly!
and davey havok is awesome and all ppl care about is if weither he's gay or not...

Answer 2

I could care less about Pres. Clinton and his little sex parties.
But if you must know, it goes to character.
On the other hand the real issue here is what he accomplished during his Administration. Even tho I do not like him I admit that as a Christian, I am pleased that he signed the "must carry" bill concerning cable TV. It was a great victory for free speech, the first amendment and Christian TV. A Great Victory. All Christians should know this and be grateful to him for it.
--------------------
However the fact that he gave high tech nuclear computer satellite technology to the Red Chinese is absolute treason.
--------------------
The fact that he had three opportunities to sign bills for lowering taxes for all Americans was a stab in the back.
--------------------
The fact that he allowed Atty Gen Reno to deport Elian Gonzales to Cuba after Elian's mother gave her life to
bring him here in the first place where his relatives were ready willing and able to care for and support him, was
ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE WORST THINGS THAT ANY
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAS EVER DONE OR EVER WILL DO. It was a betrayal to all people who love liberty and what it stands for throughout the
Earth.
---------------------
Pres Clinton was indeed a Great president. Great at helping our enemies. Great at making us look like fools before the rest of the world.
----------------------
I like Pres Clinton, but please, let's call things the way they are as they are.

I think if we focus on the positive more than the negative the world would be a much better place!
