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 AgreementHe 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.
