Life of William Jefferson Clinton, the legend president of America Full Documentary

During the administration of William Jefferson Clinton, the U.S. enjoyed more peace and economic well being than at any time in its history. He was the first Democratic president since Franklin D. Roosevelt to win a second term. He could point to the lowest unemployment rate in modern times, the lowest inflation in 30 years, the highest home ownership in the country's history, dropping crime rates in many places, and reduced welfare rolls. He proposed the first balanced budget in decades and achieved a budget surplus. As part of a plan to celebrate the millennium in 2000, Clinton called for a great national initiative to end racial discrimination.

After the failure in his second year of a huge program of health care reform, Clinton shifted emphasis, declaring the era of big government is over. He sought legislation to upgrade education, to protect jobs of parents who must care for sick children, to restrict handgun sales, and to strengthen environmental rules.

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. When he was four years old, his mother wed Roger Clinton, of Hot Springs, Arkansas. In high school, he took the family name.

He excelled as a student and as a saxophone player and once considered becoming a professional musician. As a delegate to Boys Nation while in high school, he met President John Kennedy in the White House Rose Garden. The encounter led him to enter a life of public service.

Clinton was graduated from Georgetown University and in 1968 won a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University. He received a law degree from Yale University in 1973, and entered politics in Arkansas.

He was defeated in his campaign for Congress in Arkansas's Third District in 1974. The next year he married Hillary Rodham, a graduate of Wellesley College and Yale Law School. In 1980, Chelsea, their only child, was born.

Clinton was elected Arkansas Attorney General in 1976, and won the governorship in 1978. After losing a bid for a second term, he regained the office four years later, and served until he defeated incumbent George Bush and third party candidate Ross Perot in the 1992 presidential race.

Clinton and his running mate, Tennessee's Senator Albert Gore Jr., then 44, represented a new generation in American political leadership. For the first time in 12 years both the White House and Congress were held by the same party. But that political edge was brief; the Republicans won both houses of Congress in 1994.

In 1998, as a result of issues surrounding personal indiscretions with a young woman White House intern, Clinton was the second U.S. president to be impeached by the House of Representatives. He was tried in the Senate and found not guilty of the charges brought against him. He apologized to the nation for his actions and continued to have unprecedented popular approval ratings for his job as president.

In the world, he successfully dispatched peace keeping forces to war-torn Bosnia and bombed Iraq when Saddam Hussein stopped United Nations inspections for evidence of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. He became a global proponent for an expanded NATO, more open international trade, and a worldwide campaign against drug trafficking. He drew huge crowds when he traveled through South America, Europe, Russia, Africa, and China, advocating U.S. style freedom.

‘If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.’ This quote by Bill Clinton aptly describes his life and his motive for living. The 42nd President of the United States of America, Clinton is one of the most remarkable politicians who ventured to take the country through the depressive economic condition towards a progressive and prosperous future. A strong supporter of futuristic vision, he brought about progressive policies in the educational and health care sectors and aimed at providing the citizens with better living conditions. Before taking up the office of the President, Clinton served as the Governor of Arkansas for two terms and the Attorney General of Arkansas from 1977 to 1979. From a tender age, Clinton was blessed with leadership qualities and served as the student union leader in his school and college days. However, very few know that he was blessed with music abilities as well. In fact, Clinton during his high school days was the best saxophonist in the city and even considered taking up music as a career. However, his profound interest in public service had a somewhat overpowering effect as he made his way to the most important office of the country.
---------------------
Childhood & Early Life
Bill Clinton was born as William Jefferson Clinton to William Jefferson Blythe and Virginia Cassidy Blythe. His father died several months before his birth.
Under the care of his maternal grandparents, while his mother was attaining a degree in nursing school, young Clinton learned to count and read. Interestingly, he was deeply inclined towards Baptism and regularly attended gospel music at the church since a young age.
He was a stellar student at the Hot Springs High School. An avid reader with leadership qualities, he developed an affinity for music and mastered playing saxophone. However, his real interest was in public service.
In 1963, he attended the Arkansas Boys State, where he was elected as the representative of the Boys Nation, which was scheduled to meet the then president, John F Kennedy. While this meeting turned to be influential for him, it was Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech that tempted him to become a public figure.
In 1968, he attained a B.S. degree in Foreign Science. During his college years, he found himself a significant place at the university politics. Post-graduation, he interned for Senator J. William Fulbright.
In 1968, he won Rhodes scholarship to gain admission at the Oxford University. However, a call for military services disrupted his studies. He later attained a Junior Doctor degree from Yale Law School in 1973.
-------------------
Career
Upon graduating from Yale, he moved to Arkansas where he took up the position of a teacher at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville Law School.
In 1974, though he lost the challenge to John Paul Hammerschmidt for a seat in the US House of Representative, his name was established in the political circles and he soon became a star of the Arkansas Democratic Party.
In 1976, he was elected as the attorney general and two years later, became one of the youngest governors in American history, defeating Republican Lynn Lowe
As Governor of Arkansas, he set out idealistic goals for state education and health care system. But his limited knowledge and inexperience led him to handle important issues abruptly, which brought him down from the position in 1980.
Unnerved by this, he worked at the Little Rock law firm for two years before bagging the Governor office back again. He admitted his past mistake and pleaded voters for a second chance, one that he retained for four consecutive terms.
During his second league as a Governor, he took a centralist approach and was not driven by extremism. He was both traditional and liberal in his approach. He stressed on educational reforms and established competence test for teachers.
Furthermore, as governor, he appointed blacks to key government positions, designed welfare programs for people, favoured death penalty, initiated public opinion polls and brought out new policies through careful planning and advertisement.
