For example, the guy next door could have an affair, get way too drunk at his nephew s Bar Mitzvah and cheat on his taxes. No one would give it a second look. But if the president or a politician did that, it would be blatantly exposed, and everyone would be reading about it on the front page of the National Enquirer the next morning. The reason for the media attention that forces politicians to watch their backs every 10 seconds is that they are supposed to be role models for the country - a perfect example of an American. The real issue at stake is that what really counts isn t being represented in the media.
Politicians are useful for one reason, colon to be the backbone of our government.
They are not there for us to make a mockery of, which happens way too often. President Clinton helped to create new jobs, lead the country into one of the most prosperous times in history and do what was best for the nation. But what he ll be remembered for is the Lewinsky scandal, something that shouldn t matter as much as the rest. If there was ever someone living in the White House who didn t create speculation and who everyone loved and no one criticized hold on. This will never happen.
