Lewinski Scandal

The film The War Room is a documentary about Bill Clinton that has very little to do with Bill Clinton himself. The primary focus of the film is devoted to the team of campaign strategists that got Clinton to the presidency. The two main players the film focuses on are James Carville--the Lead Strategist for the Clinton campaign and George Stephanopoulos the Communications Director. The film follows them and their team of campaign strategists and experts as they try to get Arkansas Governor, Bill Clinton, to the presidency. The documentary highlights many key moments in Clinton’s campaign, for example the Gennifer Flowers scandal. However, the film showcases what was happening behind closed doors in the War Room, where Clinton’s

President Bill Clinton began an affair with Monica Lewinsky, a White House intern, in 1995. Later in 1998, when confronted with questions in regards to an affair with Monica Lewinsky, Clinton lied under oath in front of a grand jury. This, however, was not his first lapse in judgment as viewed by the Senate and Congress. The President and his wife, Hillary, found themselves involved in the Whitewater scandal beginning in 1978. In addition, during his campaign, Clinton was accused of draft dodging and rumors were spread in regards to his possible marriage infidelity. President Bill Clinton continued to find himself caught in the middle of scandals involving: Whitewater, Paula Jones, and most notably, Monica Lewinsky. The way Clinton handled

One of the things Clinton is most famous for, but not the proudest of, is his affairs. The issue of Clinton having an affair with Monica Lewinsky is purely personal. It should have been discussed within his family and in his family alone. Many people seem to forget that Presidents before him have done the exact same thing. John F Kennedy is probably the best known with his affairs. This doesn't diminish the fact that Clinton took it one step farther and lied about the affairs.

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman." was one of Bill Clinton’s famous political one-liners. In the past decade, many people have made it their mission to prosecute Democratic President William Jefferson “Bill” Clinton for committing real estate fraud known as the Whitewater scandal and his involvement in numerous illicit sex scandals like the Paula Jones lawsuit and the Monica Lewinsky lawsuit to name a few. The significance of the Whitewater trials and the impeachment of the president is that it served as an example for future presidents and assured the people that the president is subjected to the law, not above it. If he

The United States' 42nd president, Bill Clinton, became notorious after his scandal with his secretary, Monica S. Lewinsky. He was asked on multiple occasions about this affair, but he lied, stating he did not have a intimate relationship with Lewinsky. However, he eventually confessed in an interview about the affair. Clinton displayed disloyalty to his wife, but he also led people to question his loyalty to the country because of his deceit. According to Michael Isikoff, “...That’s when I knew this was an earthquake. Washington was about to explode…”(“Politico”). Loyalty is an issue that is tested and questioned numerous times throughout history, and it is also a common theme in books and movies.The Odyssey is an acclaimed story that displays

Since the scandal at Penn State a lot of things have been happening around the case. For starters, Jerry Sandusky was charged with 45 counts of child molestation. Up until the verdict, Sandusky had told the press and others that he had loved the kids which was said to have been taken out of context. After being charged with the 45 counts of child molestation, Sandusky was given no less than 30, but no more than 60 years in prison for the crimes committed. The case at this moment has cost the school right at a quarter of a billion dollars, half of that being in lawyers fees alone. The university has settled with 33 people over allegations they were sexually abused by Sandusky, and has made total payments to them of $93 million (2017). The administrators

As President Clinton’s second term came to an end his time in office would be seen as one of the most disgraceful and embarrassing presidencies in American history. For only the second time in presidential history the United States of America had impeached their president, and for the first time in history the president went to court for sexual allegations. At the end of the trial Clinton had only one thing to say, “I am profoundly

Let’s get the most prominent and most talked about candidate out of the way, Donald Trump. I should first say that I am not a fan by any means. With this being said, I tried to watch the debates with an open mind and tried to look solely at his leadership style. I found Trump to be very defensive, childish, inappropriate, and all over the place. During the debates he loved to talk about how great he is; mentioning four times about his endorsements, about his great friends, and his wealth. Needless to say, he was not able to sway me. I will admit, Trump has extreme confidence. This is a great quality. However, he might just be too confident. It comes off as arrogant. Confidence is great to a certain degree, but it can also get you in trouble. He feels he is the best and everyone would listen to him because he is “Donald Trump”. He is so egotistical. There was one question asked about how Trump would order the military to target families of suspected terrorist after the military testifying the expansive use of torture is inexcusable and will refuse orders because they are illegal. His response: “They won’t refuse; they won’t refuse, believe me”.

The President of the United States is one of the most powerful people in the world, and therefore the people place an immense amount of trust in them. The people want someone they can trust because they are who will represent the entire country. When an elected President does not uphold or stay true to their duties it can cause uproar within society. If a president acts in a way that smears their reputation it is very difficult for them to regain the trust and support of the citizens. For many, a strong bond is now broken and cannot be repaired. There have been few presidents who have broken bonds with the American people, in particular: Richard Nixon. Nixon’s involvement in the

On August 17, 1998, exactly one year after making the statement above, President Bill Clinton prepared to deliver a speech concerning a scandal that had gripped the nation for months. It is needless to say that this was an important moment during the Clinton administration. After accusations of sexual harassment, Clinton addressed the nation and admitted to having a relationship with Monica Lewinsky. In this critical speech Clinton set out to admit to wrong-doings, provide a few reasons for his

The fate of humanity lies within the most lethal case in the world, which is kept near American’s Commander and Chief, also known as the President of The United States. This deadly, but intimidating case, known as the Nuclear Football, is what keeps America safe from a nuclear attack for other countries.

Penn State and the Jerry Sandusky child sexual molestation case, has been one of the biggest crisis, to a well-respected organization in my time. Joe Paterno the head coach at that time, was notified, by an assistant coach who saw Jerry Suduskey sexual molest an under aged child, he failed to notify child welfare officials. Penn State’s athletic Director Tim Curley former vice president Gary Shultz, former president Graham was part of this investigation. However, Paterno and the other three men were accused sweeping evidence under a rug.

It's been more than a decade since the reported affair between White House intern Monica Lewinsky and then-President Bill Clinton shocked Americans.

I sat down on my couch on the crisp night of September, 26th, it was very much like the calm before the storm. My dad and I awaited for the first Presidential debate to begin. We flipped through channels to decipher which channel to view the debate on, and were eventually redirected to Fox News. Genuine American man Donald Trump entered the stage, meanwhile as did Hillary Clinton, with that trademarked fake smile of hers. I witnessed them awkwardly meet in the middle of the stage, which I believe everyone in America could agree was just extremely cringeworthy. During this greeting, my Dad uttered to me “Wow, I hate that women” as I replied “I know, Trump is about to roast her”. The debate started, both candidates explained policies, and seemed

The recent bombing in Afghanistan begs the question whether the president has too much power over war instigation matters. The opinion column by Michael Krepon on the New York Times titled “How to Make the Nuclear Button Safer” addresses the unsettling problem, that at the event of war, the president has unrestrained power of launching a nuclear attack.
