Always willing to be fair and balanced !I wouldn't call Bill Clinton's family dirt poor. His Mom was a nurse anesthesist and his grandparents were small business owners. But He did live the American dream didn't he! What a country! He met President Kennedy when he was a teenager through a youth group. He was educated in a public school and got scholarships to great private schools! The land of opportunity indeed. Thanks for pointing that out :) I think he was unsuccessful as a president but he may be like Jimmy Carter and be more successful as an ex-president.
