The governor was quick to ask for president Clintons resegnation in the interest of fairness he should take the same action.He is supposed to be an example to the people of the state of South Carolina.Yes we are all human and make mistakes but when you are in the position of a leader you must be above reproach so the people will have someone who they can trust,and lead them by example.
