yeah, i know. but why did he lie? afraid of his wife? maybe. but for sure also because in this political climate the right wingers and religious nutjobs would not forgive a president sleeping around. although probably every president before him did that too, maybe on a different scale though. look at Italy and Berlusconi: he gets caught with hookers and visiting 18 year old girls birthdays - and he is still president. and italy is very catholic
