“I did not have sex relations with Monica Lewinsky”. Those are the famouns

oath. President Clinton’s, actions were very immoral and unethical. Not only was he the
President of USA, but he was a married man with a daughter as well. Some may argue
that this is a personal matter and should have never been brought out to public’s attention.

Bill Clinton was once a child, did not anyone teach him the difference between right and
