The 42nd President of the United States of America: William Jefferson "Bill" Clinton

Are there any Presidents of the United States of America lacking in political controversy at any point in their career?

Yes, of course there are…
They’re the ones you can’t remember!


In our most recent years however, two Presidents stand out more that others, for their charismatic personality traits…President John F. Kennedy and of course, President Bill Clinton. Both gentlemen possess(ed) alluring and magnetic qualities that at times worked for them and then at other times worked against them.

In this photo you see a young and rather enthusiastic Bill Clinton shaking the hand of then President John F. Kennedy in the Rose Garden of the White House on July 24, 1963. At the time, Bill Clinton was then a delegate from Arkansas to the Boys Nation Convention. If the young Mr. Clinton was looking up to John F. Kennedy as the ideal President, then it would just go to figure that, later on in life, he would then follow suit. The only problem here is that, as our world has developed, so has media coverage to capture every little tidbit of anyone’s life that might prove to be interesting enough to sell copies. Though it is known that Kennedy was a womanizer, at the time… he was not scrutinized nearly as much as Clinton was later.

Unfortunately, from the onset of his Presidency, Bill Clinton was riddled with attacks from the American Party, preventing him from clearly focusing on the job at hand. And unfortunately for the American public, Bill Clinton’s private life (what ever privacy is afforded to a President of the United States of America), was often a less than desirable.

Monica Lewinsky at 22 years old was made famous for her sexual escapades in the oval office with President Bill Clinton in the mid to late 1990's, while she was an intern at the White House. Both she and President Clinton made their apologies publicly (more than once), but which ones were accepted? Or were they?
Stay tooned for further developments on the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal that rocked the nation!
