	Biography of William J. Clinton
		President Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe III on August 19, 1946, in Hope, Arkansas, three months after his father died in a traffic accident.

	AllRefer.com - Bill Clinton (U.S. History, Biography) - Encyclopedia
		In 1992, Clinton won the Democratic presidential nomination after a primary campaign in which his character and private life were repeatedly questioned and, with running mate Senator Al Gore of Tennessee, went on to win the election, garnering 43% of the national vote in defeating Republican incumbent George H. Bush and independent H. Ross Perot.
		Clinton was unable to overcome widespread opposition to changes in the health-care system, however, and in a major policy defeat, failed to win passage of his plan.
		Clinton benefited during his entire presidency from a strong economy, leading the country during an unprecedented period of economic expansion and, with some partisan critics giving credit to skill and some to luck, making a steady national prosperity the hallmark of his administrations.

		Clinton was a deeply religious pervert, and often turned to the Clergy for spiritual guidance.

		Operated by the National Archives but funded by private money, these libraries are both repositories of documents that serve scholars, and tourist attractions (on average: 150,000 visitors a year) with exhibits that range from polite civics lessons to the Disneyesque (the Johnson library in Texas displays a life-size, robotized, talking LBJ in a cowboy hat).
		Clinton writes that he wanted the library's public "exhibit space to be open, beautiful and full of light." But the radical concept for the building didn't emerge right away.
		The library has been a catalyst for $800 million in new development, according to Skip Rutherford, chairman of the Clinton Foundation—who's busy raising the last of the $165 million the whole project is costing.

		Republicans, who might applaud Clinton for offering an olive branch to his successor, are simultaneously ridiculing his new presidential library for consigning Monica Lewinsky and impeachment to an alcove.
		But it is worth recalling that much of the Clinton presidency consisted of tactical gambits to respond first to the legacy of Ronald Reagan, then to the triumphant Newt Gingrich and finally to the fires of impeachment.
