Is there any book you can read over and over again without ever getting sick of it? Do you discover something new everytime you read it?

Private Life of Politicians?

Do you think the public has a legitimate right to know about a politician’s personal/romantic life? When, if ever, do you think a politician’s personal history is relevant to his/her ability to perform in office?

I think the whole Bill Clinton- affair was absolutely grotesque.  A politician having an affair says nothing about his credibility. They are only humans, after all, and all humans have the right to misstep. But if a poltician has a rassistic background, it is important to know about it, because it might influence his decisions- I'm thinking of Nazis or the Ku Klux Klan. People with a background like that are always to be threated carefully, because they might say that they regret their decission, but you will never know if they really do.
On the other hand: You can not really stop being influenced be the pictures of Obama with his family, they simply make him human reachable. But that's not really saying much about Obama himself, but credits his publicity managers.
I think you should detach yourself from your knowledge of their private lives when you are Assessing their political decisions.
