Never was embarrassed for my nation - chalked even the worst stuff up to growing pains - until i realized, after Iraq, that we could never again venture in the name of freedom and be entirely believed.

WJC.  Everything about him from getting a BJ in the Oval, to exposing crooked peyronie D to Paula Jones.  Not very presidential.

 
Politically, I don't think history will look to fondly on The Tea Party movement. In connection with the Civil Rights movement, and the strides that made coupled with the outcry after 9/11 against Muslims. The rise and rhetoric of The Tea Party will not be talked about in a positive way at all.

Imo, We've had presidents do far worse than get a bj from an intern.

I thought about those, but decided against it as they were actions of one, not elected person, and something I would consider a tragedy

Granted, I don't think of Norway much (despite being part Norwegian), but when I do, the attack on Utøya Island comes to mind immediately.
