Bill Clinton’s autobiography met with enormous anticipation and success. Rivaling his wife’s book LIVING HISTORY, the former President whose clout seems to grow and grow more each day.
“Bubba” as he is affectionately called in some circles was the first President of the Democratic party to be voted for a second term. The last time that happened was when FDR was president in the 40s. Similar to FDR in his helping the nation bid farewell to the Great Depression, Clinton’s administration was witness to what many feel was the most important economic expansion in terms of monetary and social repercussions particularly with the advent of the worldwide communication highway known as the Internet. Of course, the stock market crash, the military conflicts in the Balkans, controversy with Castro and Elian Gonzalez, Monica Lewinsky sex scandal, the FBI file scandal, gays and homosexuals in the military, Whitewater, Travelgate, Yasser Arafat and Rabin’s attempts at peace in the Middle East, his penchant for the United Kingdom associated with his Oxford studies, attempt to assuage Bin Laden, dealing with a bellicose Saddam Hussein of Iraq, impeachment trials, environment and the exciting yet short-lived health care plan that the nation so desperately needed. What may be most telling is not so much what he accomplished but what he will accomplish post-presidency. Similar to Jimmy Carter, William Jefferson Clinton’s legacy is still evolving as his wife is the Junior Senator from New York and all political pundits and observers of history know that there is a strong chance that Mr. Clinton may indeed become the United States’ first gentleman as Larry King affectionately called him in a recent interview where he shone with optimism about his wife’s prospects without undermining the attributes of his wife’s political adversaries in what is going to turn out to be an election of historical implications regardless of the outcome Newt Gingrich commented that Bill Clinton is the best political adviser money can not buy so it is a toss up to be sure. From his involvement to AIDS via his noble foundation and his penchant to defend his position recently with Mike Wallace on a FOX News interview, Clinton is always colorful and impeccable in his timing when interviewed. His answers are paused and the silences say as much as the social commentary that is drawn from a variety of historical and sociological sources.
Clinton lost his father at an incredibly young age and his story is one similar to those authored by Horatio Alger. Indeed, his mother was an inspiration in many ways and her tenacity speaks volumes of the devotion of single mothers and the children they serve. However, Clinton has vision that would not allow him to forget the challenges that single fathers also face throughout the world.
This book is signed by President Clinton and the signature will pass any PSA DNA test. These signatures are among some of the most beautiful I have seen and this particular item is a coveted collector's item as the ending credits/ acknowledgements feature the now famous "failure of my life" errata that speaks to its rare status in book collecting circles. #2998 signed in beautiful form with blue sharpie. Gorgeous and wider autograph that is feartured in the limited edition. FIRST EDITION FIRST PRINTING
Clinton’s charisma and ability to consistently make the best of his personal and political struggles is a story that merits respect whether or not one agrees with his political aspirations. In my case, I will never forget he and the first wife now New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton attempted to make us not be the only first world nation without universal health care. Clinton’s signature will go up in value as his legacy remains pivotal but more importantly he may even become the first ever United States American first husband if Hillary chooses to run in 2008. Further, reminiscent of his Democratic counterpart Jimmy Carter, Bubba has definitely made the most of his post Presidential life with his institutes geared towards targeting poverty and the amelioration of the AIDS crisis as well as an invaluable mediator and advisor. His diplomatic skills are of textbook quality and only surpassed by his timing when he pauses to reflect before answering a quality question with a thought provoking answer.
All signals indicate that history-making possibility just may happen.
