Well, I can't argue with you there. Although I have not researched the specifics of his public conduct in this respect so I couldn't validate your claims, arguably anyone who does have such a past could aptly be seen as someone who has very poor decision-making and judgement abilities and is repeatedly willing to sacrifice the interests of others for self-interest. It's one reason why I winced at statements that "this time is different" based on what many have said about this issue.

Unfortunately, in the world of "Big Business", it seems one internal quality that runs through the Executive world is the "us and them" philosophy where different sets of rules apply. Same goes with politicians. What's overlooked there (or even sometimes rewarded) is considered unacceptable here.
