Bill Clinton: White House
built 139 days ago
An acclaimed orator, Bill Clinton is widely regarded as one of the best campaigners of modern times. Late night coffee shop visits and near around-the-clock campaigning garnered him a second-place finish in the 1993 New Hampshire primary, which earned him the nickname “the Comeback Kid” and created the momentum that took him to the White House.

As president, Clinton was characterized as being a much more "hands on" president than some of his Republican predecessors. While Bush and Reagan had operated under what some critics dubbed an Imperial Presidency of bureaucratic "courtiers," Clinton had much more fickle relationships with his aides, and did not delegate them significant powers. He went through four White House Chiefs of Staff — a record number of men in a position that had once been the epicenter of the Imperial Presidency. This is not to say that Clinton was without political confidants in the White House. The First Lady played an active role in helping the President form policy, and Clinton's two best friends and most loyal supporters, Paul Begala and James Carville, could often be seen defending the President's policies in Washington and the media.
