It seems to me that the majority of black that I meet are firm in their support for Clinton, Why? It is clear, because of all the smoke, there is fire somewhere. He may not have committed and impeachable offense, but certainly there are questions about his morality. If he were meeting the Quarterly Conference of an AME Church to become a local preacher, he would surely be rejectd because of moral question, yet we support him as president. I wonder why.

The immorality that you say Clinton possessed is commonplace in the AME church and in America in general. He would not necessairly be rejected by a Quaterly Conference. To say that sexual sin is prevelant is not a justification, but an explanation. Many African Americans relate to a boy from Arkansas who has a taste for for women. His capacity to do his job was only diminsed by the pernicious attack from the right to get him at all cost.
