(9,086 posts)Maybe people looked the other way back then, but that's not going to fly these days. Thank goodness our society is better now. There is a lot more awareness on issues of sexual harassment, assault, rape, and inappropriate relationships for people in positions of trust and power.
We have seen the Catholic Church scandal. We challenged rape culture on college campuses and in the military. Workplace sexual harassment is taken more seriously now.
It's a different world than when the Clintons were in the White House. Times have changed and we're never going back. Thank goodness.
President Obama has made us all proud. He has held the office with dignity. We owe him and his family a lot of respect.
So it's this simple: The president should not have sex with a 22 year old intern. That's the whole thing.
