Before leaving the White House, former President William Clinton had admitted to the accusations of perjuring himself under oath concerning Monica Lewinsky. As a result of perjury, the former president surrendered his legal license as an arraignment with the prosecuting attorneys along with a $25,000 fine. This seems that he got off with a slap on the wrist. I believe that people who perjure themselves in front of any jury should have some sort of jail sentence. I have spoken to a lawyer and asked what the penalty for perjury is and they responded that the judge has the right to hand out any number of days to years in jail. Even though I am a republican that voted for current President George Bush, and believe that former President Clinton has done some great things for this country, but to go in front of the grand jury and lie and then cut a deal, that shows that you hold yourself above the law. Most people think that I am wrong for thinking this way but in my eyes William J. (Slick Willy, Draft Dodger) Clinton should be in jail for what he did. There should not be a special penalty for people who hold themselves above the law.

I would also like to remark about the article on Jan. 22, which is titled "Bush needs to uphold all promises." I believe that the people who wrote this article should be eating a healthy helping of crow because if you have been watching the news lately, President Bush has gone to Congress to talk about his education and tax bills with less than one week in office.

People should not be so quick to judge someone until you have heard what they have to say.
