March 2 Little Rock. The William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library

We stopped to visit the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock. From the outside the building does not seem to be especially visually appealing, but it features a lot of green construction innovations and inside it is quite beautiful. It has full size replicas of the oval office and the cabinet room plus the millions of documents from his presidency.


The most moving area was a review of the accomplishments and events of the Clinton presidency on a year by year basis. What is evident is that we were so much better off during those years, of strong economy, balanced budgets, world standing and social equity than we are today. While Clinton definitely had his shortcomings all in all his presidency was extraordinary in its accomplishments. We left the library feeling depressed, feeling at a loss, where our country is now so divided that it seems we will never regain the stature that we enjoyed in the late 90s.


The Clinton was hosting Dr Seuss
