As a young man, Clinton joined the Boy's Nation, a kind of Democratic Party Hitler Youth. On a trip to the White House he met the celebrity philanderer John F Kennedy, who was the President of the time.
Clinton soon became Arkansas Attorney General, which was the runners-up prize in the 1978 election to the House of Representatives. He went on to become Governor, which afforded him many opportunities to sign death warrants on mentally impaired prisoners. From here it was only a matter of time before he fulfilled his destiny and ran for President. He defeated Paul Tsongas, the best Democratic President America never had, and Ross Perot, the shortest, maddest, angriest President America never had.
Clinton was known as one of the most accommodating American Presidents, often offering female visitors the chance to see his White House staff or to help him conduct some private polling. Apart from that he did as little as possible, failed to bring peace to the Middle East or Bosnia and so appalled Republican voters that they thought that George W Bush looked like a good bet. All in all, he was one of America's greatest leaders.
