Good over view of Clinton's early life. Clinton also faced a lot of controversy while running for president. There were rumors that he had dodged the draft and allegations that he had cheated on his wife for 12 years.
ReplyDeleteClinton, from you definition, seems to come off as an intellectual who is extremely integrated into prestigious organizations such as Yale and Oxford, two institutions known for their reputation. However, much like Tara said, he did become warped up in a lot of terrible press including deception and cheating. Do you think it was right of people to only speak of the controversial rumors and not focus on all that he had achieved educationally, because as you explained he was successful with his own personal abilities.
ReplyDeleteNice touch adding the wifey information. That interesting they met at Yale. You clearly did some extra research on your own to find some of these facts. If it weren't for you I would never have known by boy Bill was a Frat Bro. What a legend. Maybe you could throw in some info about his political ideology as a Republican.
ReplyDeleteI like this overview about Bill Clinton, especially since you included so much new information. This is a good summary of Clinton's life before and some facts about during his presidency. What is your opinion on the controversies that Clinton was involved in later in his life and presidency? Were there any signs that you found in your research to precede any sort of controversy or strange behavior?
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post, Alexis. You summed up his early life well, and I had no idea he was in a frat. I'm also surprised he was the third youngest president.
