Bill Clinton and Me

Saturday, September 17th, 2011

Only future history will reveal how President Bill Clinton’s administration is viewed and rated. The sex scandal that led to his becoming only the second President in American history to be impeached is just too fresh in our minds.

The plans were going to be to hit the Carter Library early and then catch a tour of the Georgia State Capitol at 11am, but even without the library, we didn’t make it to the capitol building until 11:20am, missing the guided tour.
