¬ Since America’s inception in 1776, the United States has been led by some of the greatest men in the history of the world. After so many years of extraordinary leadership from our various presidents, I believe that in order to get into the Oval Office, one must hold themselves to a higher standard than they ever have before, a presidential standard. On January 20, 1993, Bill Clinton was inaugurated as the 42nd President of the United States, arguably the highest office not only in America, but all over the world. He served his nation honorably in his first four years in office, and was successfully reelected in 1996. His presidency brought about NAFTA, an agreement that has definitely affected us greatly.

As a result of that, I believe that the stress and demands of running a world super power, mixed with frequent interaction with Lewinski, influenced President Clinton to make the choice that affected him for the rest of his presidency, and wil affect him for the rest of his

This meant that he could command how he saw fit, and his ideas would not be shot down. This would mean that he would take the glory for each victory, but this also meant that he would take the blame for their defeats. Clinton had many campaigns that failed because of weather conditions causing reinforcements to not arrive when they were needed (Henry Clinton). He also didn’t get very much support from England.

Listening to McLarty, it became clear that although him and President Clinton were close friends, he still saw Bill as one to be respected as more than a friend. He shared that he always called him Mr. President, because doing otherwise seemed like a disrespect to Clinton and his accomplishment as president. So when he said that before telling him about Vince, he clarified that the country was safe, I really connected the pull between Clinton being a friend and the president. There were many other stories that McLarty shared that showed his loyalty to President Clinton and Bill Clinton. I actually really enjoyed this interview, going into it I fully expected to be bored out of my mind, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Bill Clinton is known as one of the most powerful speakers in the United States, and he impresses his audience by his speeches and the rhetorical devices that he includes in his speeches and addresses.

In his 1993 inaugural address, Clinton discussed the issues that America faced in the 20th century such as health care costs and low wages.
