Smart Guy,
"PS: I believe you alluded to the fact that people were buying pardons from Republicans---I'm dieing to see that information---can you provide it?"
> What makes you believe that?

who cares what he did then, what is he going to do now.

Yes I do. I found it a pathetic joke when Bill Clinton pulled the "I didn't inhale" comment out.
And about Smart Guy's comments about purchased pardons from the Clintons.....
what about the fully furnished office of Bill Clinton provided by the wife of a man he pardoned? I can't think of their last name right now! Dang. She claimed it was a "gift" but we all know better. If I can come up with the last name I'll add it.

That he continues to dwell on it is yet one more revelation that he is a political novice.
Why? Can't he be more honest on what I care about?
On every issue he says he's going to bring people together.
What the hell does that mean?
If he were honest, he would just say he has no clue and needs to hire someone to think for him.
Regan did it.
He made three promises. End inflation, bring unemployment to a single digit and arm the country so that communism would evaporate. Everything else he said he would do his best to surround himself with the best and brightest minds to create solutions.
There is no shame in it if you are just honest about it.
Obama just doesn't know how.

We would've found out about it anyway. The press is good at bringing out past information about a candidate. Obama just knew it would be best if he confessed to it.

Obama didn't have a choice.when you run for office in the USA,everything you did since you were a child will come to light,so you may as well come clean.It will come back to haunt you anyway.

Yes, I do. But I agree with some others here that it's irrelevant. What's important is that he's learned from his mistakes, figured out that if he was going to be somebody he'd have to stop, and has become (as far as I can tell) a good man.
It's who he is NOW that matters.

I still cant get over the fact that he wouldn't place his hand over his heart nor recite the Pledge. I'm Rep. and I'd rather have Hillary than Obama in the W.H.

I don't consider it honesty....
Do you honestly believe that if he didn't have to come out about the cocaine he would have?
He was setting up to run for office and had to get it out before it was used against him. Like Bush did with the drinking.

Everyone in the world has done illegal drugs or drunk alcohol at some point in their lives. Admitting to that is just stating the obvious.

If he didnt admit to it then Hillary was going to expose him. its a childish game to say you feel better when people admit to wrong doing than when told on by some other person. Doesnt make any sense. But only a woman's and sissies mind works that way.

i don't really understand why it is so important for u to look at the private life of your politicians... we don't care if someone used drugs, or was an unfaithful husband, gets divorced, or he's gay.... the main thing is he/she is competent for this job? what he/she made to show us his/her skills?
in france, we have the more wonderful mayor the city of paris has never seen... he made a lot of good things to improve the city....but a lot of people are against him because he's gay.... who cares what he does in his room??? it's not our business at all...
