Clinton Under Fire
Deceit
Immoral
Disgrace
Forgiveness
Sympathy
Onward

Your remorse now, after the fact, rings hollow.
- Tony Finamore, Union Township, Clermont County
How can you espouse concern for the young people in the country, especially your daughter, Chelsea, and then display such scandalous behavior in the Oval Office. Isn't that hypocritical?
- Georgeann Meyer, Anderson Township
My concern about you is your emotional instability - your lack of an essential anchor. The dilemma is how to balance this weakness with your ability to be an appropriate leader. I am a liberal Democrat.
- Ellen Bloomfield, Blue Ash
If you could not resist temptation, how can any of us expect the children to resist temptation.
- Charlotte Hunter, Forest Park
How dare you not resign, Mr. President?! You, who say you hope the little boy in Florida will proudly model himself after you?! What lesson is he, and the rest of American's children, learning?
- Lynda Ewing, Batavia
God forgives and we forgive but there is a penalty for immorality and for sin. You have a lot of talent and knowledge, but only God's blessing and help can make that worthwhile.
- Patricia Rogers, Springfield Township
I feel your pain, Mr. President. However, virtues such as honesty, integrity, character and family values only count before you get caught. Your remorse now, after the fact, rings hollow.
- Tony Finamore, Union Township, Clermont County
What you do before taking office and after leaving office is your businesss, but I would think you could act properly while in office. You represent me and this is not how I want people to view me.
- Sylvia Smith, Madeira
Please redeem some of your character by resigning.
- Donovan R. Riggins, West Chester
American families are not strengthened by adulterers, especially when the act is conducted with a person who is two years older than his own daughter.
- Jennifer Weber, Oxford
What's wrong with America? It's the leadership, stupid!
- William E. Barrott, Aurora
If the president had any moral decency and respect for the American people, he would resign immediately.
- Paul McManus, Monroe
I am willing to forgive you as a man if you will take the one step needed to receive forgiveness. Full repentence. Please resign for us and children.
- Wes Bayel, Mariemont
Bill, I address you as Bill. Not Mr. President or even Mr. Clinton. I want you to resign from office. No one takes you seriously.
- Beverly Gangwer, Mason
When morality is lost, what is left? A good economy should not replace the laws of the land in terms of importance.
- P.A. Embras, Norwood
How could he have been so cavalier with the responsibilities that we entrusted him with? These actions strike right at the moral fiber of the nation and demean our standards of honor.
- Ben Lewis, Franklin
You have embarrassed yourself, the office of the president and your country. You should resign and stop the " bleeding."
- Richard D. Niedhard, Montfort Heights
Your place in history? A buffoon, sleaze and not worthy of respect or trust. Get out of the car now and I will finish the trip. But not to Stan's place.
- Ernie Pistot , Southgate
Your behavior is an insult to all Americans who live their lives with honor and dignity.
- Kathleen A. Hogan, Symmes Township
Don't shake my hand. Don't ask my children to shake your hand. Hussein is preparing to possibly destroy all I hold dear while you unzip your pants and let your brains fall.
- Pat Williams, West Chester
Your sex life is immoral. You should not be trusted. Why did your wife blame right-wing conservatives?
- Mildred Weeks, Madeira
I do not understand how the president of the United States can act like a common predator. We are all ashamed.
- Genevieve M. Johnson, Milford
Perjurer, pervert, scumbag. Do we as a nation permit this pervert to lead us as our president? If so we are in a serious state as a moral society. The impeachment process must go on!
- Floreal M Lavin, Wyoming
We are trying to teach our young people morals. So now they can come back, ŒIf it is all right for the president to do this, then don't say it is wrong for us!'
- Margie Fisher, Norwood
For once, put something else before your own lust. Resign!
- Gloria Ann Fhey, Cincinnati
Morally, you rate zero on scale from one to 10. Politically you have done very well. No impeachment needed.
- Mary Jewel Malloy, Reading
The pleasure-without-obligation sex which should be an affront to women, and the lying about lying.
- Harold L. Vick, Alexandria
Cheap thrill, Bill, you have taken away the respect of our government and the sacred wedding vows.
- Betsy Beidenstein, Florence
To make claims to being the "Education President" and behave and treat with such disrespect such a young girl is shameful. Without reservation my vote is to impeach you.
- Patrick Mayer, Montgomery
I did not vote for you but I feel that you have done a good job of running the country so far. . . . As for going on television, . . . and lying to us, I feel that that was disgusting.
- James D. Copeland, West Union
You have demeaned and disgraced the office of the president. You have lied to the public and cheated on your wife. This is immoral. Our trust in you is greatly diminished. You must resign.
- Marilyn Sayer, Montgomery
How does one in public life separate personable behavior from your duties as a president? I believe the two cannot be separated. One reflects on the other and the other reflects on the one.
- B. Vincent Salotto, Anderson Township
President Clinton, you're sick. Get professional help!
- Leora Shauck, Cherry Grove
What kind of a message are you giving to the future adults of this country. Adultery is OK as long as you say you are sorry. However, it has not stopped you from continuing your old patterns.
- Joyce Seymour, Delhi Township
Please stop this car. I do not wish to ride in the same car with a person who has damaged the president's office as you have.
- Barton E. Burger, Fairfield
When military personnel are dishonorably discharged and courtmarshalled for the same sort of behavior, how can you expect not to be held accountable and face consequences
- Debra Rokiski, Deer Park
For the respect of men and women who fought and died for this country, Resign, Resign, Resign!
- Ruby D. Cook, Sycamore Township
Your non-existent family values and talk of "for the children" has been the worst lesson any of us could possibly imagine. Lie, cheat then lie and cheat more.
- Jean Duermit, 68, Sharonville
What would he say to a man who treated his daughter the way he has treated women? Women are not his toys!!
- Patricia Esswein, Madisonville
Mr. President, in light of your "flirtatious" reputation, proven or unproven, what were you thinking? . . . We, the American people, trusted you would mend your ways.
- Beth Roberts, Glen Este
I am . . . a two-time supporter of your presidency. However, I am deeply disturbed by . . . the Starr report. I do not think you should be impeached. However, I think you need to come clean.
- Tony S. Warfield, Florence
Was she worth it?
- Nick Valentini, Landen
You have eroded the moral trust that a lot of people have put in you to lead this country. Not only have you let this country down, you have probably destroyed all trust that your family may have had in you.
- Cindy Kerbo, Mt. Healthy
How will your conduct affect future cases of sexual misconduct or sexual harassment? Is it not right that what's good for the goose is good for the gander?
- Cindy Unruh, Highland Heights
When you were elected, you promised us the most ethical administration in history. . . . You have been unable to keep this promise. As a perjurer, you do not have enough credibility to continue as an honorable leader.
- Kevin Fox, Hamilton
I am the father of five children ages 3-13. I can't even sit and watch the evening news without an X-rated story out of Washington, D.C.
- Donald Stevens, Walton
I personally think that what you have done is despicable. . . . and it makes me sick to my stomach. I was brought up with morals and character. At least I can admit when I am wrong and not wait for someone else to find it out on their own.
- Joan Burns, 42, Loveland
Thanks to the president's definition of a "sexual relationship," which he is confident an "ordinary American" like me would "embrace," every teen-age boy will think he can now ask girls for oral sex, since it isn't sex after all.
- Beth Hartley, Madeira
Our employee, whose salary we pay, has been messing with a subordinate, on government time, on government property. . . . We should clearly call it unacceptable, as eventually destroying our country.
- Melvin Lakness, Monroe
My grandaughter, 11, heard your admittances and said our president is a liar, he said so on TV. If you have any decency, resign.
- Muriel Radel, Springdale
You have disgraced the office of the president, our country and the American people. No apology can redo the harm done.
- Blanche Kunkel, Florence
If the American people let you stay, how can you regain the respect and dignity that the presidency requires to effectively lead America and the world?
- Tommy R. Thompson, Hamilton
You said you were repentant. Repentance is a good thing, but after repentance comes the matter of restitution. Don't you agree?
- Hubert Wottle, Day Heights
You have successfully lowered the standards of the American people! But the upside . . . will be that never again will we, the American people, believe that character doesn't matter.
- Peggy Gautraud, California
As a Christian I believe in forgiveness, I also believe in restoration. Please resign and let us as Christians and Americans go on from here with a new president and a new start.
- Michael Partin, 59, Batavia
You have disgraced the office of the Presidency. You have debased yourself before the world. You are not fit to be the president.
- Gordon Robertson, 73, Groesbeck
Your lack of firm foreign policy, abysmal lack of good judgment, lies, spin, delays have destroyed your credibility both at home and abroad.
- Francis (Jean) O'Leary, Kenwood
When the president becomes an international joke he is an ineffective leader of his country and the world. Forgive Bill Clinton and then dump him.
- Jayne Varney, Middletown
For as hard as we work, all the taxes we pay, we deserve a gentleman in the White House.
- Jean McCafferty, Cincinnati
From all the grandmothers in the U.S.A. - how can we explain your actions to our grandchildren? Please resign for the future of our republic. You have disgraced the presidency.
- Jean Jaspers, Colerain Township
You were entrusted to execute decent behavior while guarding the highest office in the land. How dare you, sir, to have sex in my Oval Office.
- Matt G. Asher, Fairfax
I think your conduct as a president of the U.S.A. is a disgrace. You lied under oath 11 different times according to the Starr report. You, President Clinton, should resign.
- Donald Shoop, Milford
Your legacy is clear and irreversible: The man who embarrassed and tarnished the presidency of the greatest country on Earth.
- John Day, Manchester, Maine
The issue here is not marijuana, draft-dodging, sex, or even illegal fund-raising. The issue here is integrity, which is a requirement for a good leader and something you seem to lack.
- Rob Strenn, Oshkosh, Wis.
