A few days ago I lamented the absence of moral conviction in our government. I strongly believe that the public convictions of our elected officials must align with their private convictions. That is the fundamental definition of character. I'd like to believe that character in leadership is something that America still believes in.
Can you recall one of the prevailing opinions when Bill Clinton had an affair with his intern? It was something along the lines of "he's doing a great job with the economy, does his private life really matter?" I think time has proven that it does.
Maybe that is why the Democratic Governor of NY has resigned his position as the chief executive of that state. There is no doubt political pressure, public pressure and personal pressure... including his relationship with his family... have played a role in that decision.
