Most humans I know are decent and have never done something like this. Is it too much to hold our leaders to a higher standard than even an average person?

My comment was in response to your "a leader" comment versus Bill Clinton specifically.
Not every leader has behaved the way Clinton did - but they all have faults if for no other reason then they are human.
With respect to Clinton in particular, I think we have to ask what was/is wrong with our justice system that let him get away with it.
Out of 300 million people in our country, we should be able to find better people to put in charge.
Did she ever press charges? Sometimes there is an absence of evidence which keeps people out of jail. I'm ok with this because I'd rather have a guilty person go free than an innocent person thrown in jail on hearsay. But these kinds of stories should keep people out of power.
Most of the people that are in that position wanted that power in the first place and in time they abuse it
