Review of William J. Clinton Presidentia...

I have been to most of the presidential libraries ...

I have been to most of the presidential libraries (only two more to go). The staff and facilities at the Clinton library are top notch. The exhibits of his presidency are organized and well done. I especially liked the daily schedules located in the metal binders that showed the day to day activities he was engaged in while in office.
That being said, almost every other presidential library talks about the person, rather than just the oval office time. Noticeable absent from the exhibit are his childhood, education, his two times as governor or Arkansas, or other significant life events including his philanthropic involvements since leaving office.
There are things I admire about president Clinton s presidency, and things I disagree with, but as a whole I found the library to be plain with little in comparative historical caliber as the other presidential libraries.
I also must mention what My wife also observed, that the gift store offered little of Clinton, and was better stocked with junk that could have been purchased at the local Walgreens for much cheaper.
