Hero or nah?

Andre Daniels----The Love Struck Adulterer

Being Mary Jane is a new drama television series starring actress Gabrielle Union. The show features a young, self-made black woman on the courageous endeavor of finding Mr. Right. However, on her tedious journey, Mary Jane falls deeply in love with her beautiful, wealthy, perfect Mr. Wrong.

After a rough past with men, Mary Jane finally finds HIM. The one who opens the doors, showers her with gifts, takes her to nice places, and expresses his love to her in every way that he can. Although she is known for not jumping (walking..or crawling) into intimate relationships, with Andre, everything is different. She cannot hide the stars in her eyes. Andre completely changed her life.

Then...the unbelievable (but believable) happens. Mary Jane is confronted by Andre's wife.

No matter how hard she attempts to ignore him, Mary Jane cannot get over him. Even though she has only been dating him for a few months, she can't let go. Andre goes to H-E-double hockey sticks and back to try to get Mary Jane to forgive him. Even though he has a wife, kids (and complete turmoil) at home, all he can think about is her. 

Then...the unthinkable (but thinkable) happens---he proposes to Mary Jane.

Like fellow Ichabod, Mr. Daniels outwardly broadcasts his anti-heroism. Instead of being true to his wife and children, Andre acts selfishly and does what he feels is best for himself---without regard to the needs of his family. 
   
In The Legends Of Sleepy Hollow, Ichabod only wants Katrina for her money, not her love. The narrator divulges, "He was satisfied with his wealth, but not proud of it; and piqued himself upon the hearty abundance, rather than the style in which he lived." Because of his greed, Ichabod selfishly used Katrina just as Andre selfishly betrays his family.

However, Andre is in love. Does love conquer all?
Is he a hero or nah?
        

Lewinsky Scandal

       

                                                                     

                                                          Lewinsky 

                                                                                                                 SCANDAL

In January 1998, news broke of President BillClinton's nine alleged sexual encounters with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. President Clinton admitted to having an "inappropriate relationship" with Lewinsky----one that would cost him his reputation, and eventually, his job (kinda).

                                                                               

Independent Counsel Ken Starr alleged that Clinton had broken the law during his handling of the Lewinsky Scandal. Every man has....needs. As of 2012, about 70 percent of men admit to cheating on their wives at least once. What makes him any different? The fact that he held a significant platform over 313.9 million people?

Clint...he was a pretty decent guy and an even better president. He presided over the longest period of peacetime economic expansion in American history, and signed into law the North American Free Trade Agreement. He passed welfare reform and the State Children's Health Insurance Program, providing health coverage for millions of children. 

Despite his contributions to modern day America, people scrutinized Bill Clinton so harshly for his actions that he was impeached before the grand jury. Americans seemed to be more concerned about his personal life than what he was doing for our nation. Thankfully, he was acquitted by the U.S. Senate and completed his term in office. Congress reported a budget surplus between the years 1998 and 2000...the last three years of Clinton's presidency. Had Clinton not been so jarringly pestered, his success as a U.S. President could have greatly exceeded the achievements he had already attained.
