The president also puts a burden on the country saying, "Our country has been distracted by this matter too long." It seems that he is trying to tell the people that they need to look past this and that they should trust him to go on with our national matters. Speech B however takes absolute blame and asks the people to let him work on earning their trust: I pledge to you that I will make every effort of mind and spirit to earn your confidence again, to be worthy of this office, and to finish the work on which we have made such remarkable progress in the past six years." Not only does that excerpt led me to think of our president as giving a sincere apology and honestly being very fair and ethical, but it also leads me to believe in a sort of togetherness between himself and the country. .
Also, speech A makes a reference to Whitewater and how the independent federal agency found no evidence of wrongdoing by him or his wife. This to me seems like the president is saying "look, I have been busted before and the accusers were wrong, my reputation has already been dragged through the mud, I am sorry for what happened with Monica but lets get on with our lives." I feel cheated by this statement and I also think that he is trying to bring forth his past as a scapegoat to his current situation. One statement in speech B seemed to stand out for me, and that was "Since I was very young, I have had profound reverence for this office." For anyone who has ever followed Clinton, they would know that this comment is making reference to his idol, John F. Kennedy. I personally believe that this statement would have helped him greatly in his pursuit to help clear his name.
Another reason that I believe speech B is a more ethical alternative is because the president separates himself from the others who were involved and puts the focus on himself: "I have fallen short of what you should expect from a president", "I take full responsibility for my actions", "I should have acknowledged that I was wrong months ago.
