Bill Clinton Persuasive Speech

Bill Clinton

If I were to talk to Bill Clinton I would ask him what his thoughts are now, in retrospect, on lying to the American people about his relationship with the young aid Monica Lewinski, what advice he could give to President Donald Trump, and what his thoughts are on his wife losing the election. I think these are all really raw and juicy topics to talk to Bill about especially at a time when the nation is in such mental despair.

The long term effects look quite different from those of the Watergate, the scandal crisis of 25 years ago which enhanced the reputation of the press and shifted the power balance between Congress and the president. What president Clinton did was inexcusable and lowered the expectations that American people had of their president and Congress. In simple terms, Clinton degraded the office of the president and damaged his moral

Bill Clinton’s advice towards President Trump would have prevented the mess he has created in less than two weeks in office. President Trump’s recent dispute with Middle Eastern Countries and the separation of the nation could have been avoided if President Trump had great advisors with more than enough experience. What type of advice? Bill Clinton had his fair share of knowledge when it comes to these issues. He could share his own strategies that his used during his own term. He could also tell President Trump that the way he is dealing with the nation’s problems is the wrong way to go at it. President Trump’s presidency has become viral in the wrong way, yet Clinton would tell him to be neutral and try not to fire the public up more. He would double check that President Trump speeches don’t contain words that would anger the public more. Bill Clinton would be of great help to make sure that President Trump’s presidency can be remembered by the young and

    Clinton's presidency was a seemingly long hard road. During his second term as President, He was impeached due to charges of lying under oath to a grand jury and obstruction of justice. However, the real underlying reason for the impeachment was Clinton’s denial of the Lewinsky Affair. The public opinion of the Lewinsky Affair allowed the Republican party to create a political strategy to use against Clinton. “Contending that Clinton had committed perjury, Republican leaders made the affair the centerpiece of their quest to defeat Democrats in the 1998 congressional elections” (Jansson, 2012,p.398).…

    George Herbert Walker Bush came into the presidency as one of the most qualified candidates to assume the office. He had a long career in both domestic politics and foreign affairs, knew the government bureaucracy, and had eight years of hands-on training as vice president. Still, if presidential success is determined by winning reelection, Bush was unsuccessful because he failed to convince the American public to give him another four years in office. Generally the Bush presidency is viewed as successful in foreign affairs but a disappointment in domestic affairs. In the minds of voters, his achievements in foreign policy were not enough to overshadow the economic recession, and in 1992, the American public voted for change.…

    The 37th president of the United States, Richard Nixon, was involved criminally in a case during his presidency. He took many steps to try to cover the crime, steps that were crucial to his presidency, in which he was involved in a “Saturday Night Massacre” and allowed others to take the blame for his actions. Nixon may not have planned the scandal, nor was he even a part of the burglary, but he did many things to make it seem like he had no idea that any of the scandal had occurred. Nixon was eventually caught, and the scandal itself and Nixon’s end of presidency impacted him and the government immensely.…

The Watergate scandal did have an overall cleansing effect on the nation’s political process. The Senate and House both passed separate versions of election-reform plans. The outline set rules on raising and spending political money along with a ceiling on what presidential candidates, once nominated, can spend in the election campaign itself ("Effects of Watergate:…

    If the Newseum is torn down, the first amendment will not have a place to be celebrated just for itself, so there will be no place to celebrate the first American Constitutional freedom. President Trump is pressuring Congress into passing a bill that will start a project to make room for new monuments. The project will consist of tearing down monuments that the government feels are unnecessary. The project will ruin DC and the American spirit. If the bill does pass, the Newseum should definitely not be torn down since it is a reminder of what America is, it will have horrible economic effects on the country, and tearing it down will diminish the American spirit.…

    The Watergate Scandal was a situation in which Richard Nixon intercepted information in which he was not allowed to obtain. The speech that Richard Nixon gave about the Watergate Matter, as well as the speech that Vice President Gerald Ford gave, both serve the same purposes. These purposes were to appease the public, to announce the President’s resignation of office, and to allow President Nixon apologize to the public. This subject greatly displeased the public and caused many people to dislike and feel dissatisfaction with President Richard Nixon.…

    As stated by Wendy McElroy, “Having shrewdly used his [President Clinton] personal life to further his political career, Clinton cannot object when others question whether the carefully scripted images are accurate.” (Source B). Clinton leaked staged instances to the public which are false and should be framed for lying. Being a public figure and lying to the public is unjust on himself and society. He shouldn’t go unpunished if he has lied to the public.…

    Although as President, Clinton was a role model and leader, his main job was to run a country, and he was successfully doing that. Clinton’s actions were unpresidential, but as long as he was doing his job, his personal affairs shouldn’t be the reason he had to leave office. Lying under oath is bad, but it was not about something very important and was just a bid to cover up his affair. Moshe was impeached by God for hitting the rock and refusing to listen to Hashem. I believe Moshe was rightfully impeached because he had Hashem right by his side and still chose to ignore him.…

    For this reason he was rejected from the American public thus preventing him from succeeding as President! The Clintons had entered into a real estate venture, arguably a sweetheart deal in which their potential for loss was minimized (although the proposition was so goofy that they did eventually lose some money) with some shady characters who were simultaneously looting a local savings and loan institution (Klein, 2003). Between January 3, 1994 and August 3, 1994, President Clinton addressed the “Whitewater” matter in the course of seven press/media appearances (Blaney & Benoit, 2002). Kenneth Starr was originally appointed to investigate a failed Arkansas real estate deal involving the Clintons almost 20 years after the fact, Starr 's scope expanded over time to include a bewildering range of accusations of fraud, obstruction of justice and abuse of power allegedly involving President Clinton and the first lady, as well as some of their closest friends and advisers (Washington Post, 1998). A fraudulent $300,000 federally backed loan to Susan McDougal, some of which went into…

    There has always been a shroud of fog around the personal matters of the Clinton’s, but underneath that shroud there is a hidden evil that is incomparable to any other American politician. The Clinton’s have been involved in many conspicuous affairs including White Water and the Ives/Henry case. They also have been involved in around 100 deaths of people close to them or people who worked for them. They have used witness intimidation and other scare tactics to harass witnesses into not testifying, and if they don’t agree, they are normally dead within days. Because of the amount of Clinton body guards that have been killed, the Ives Henry case, Whitewater, and the amount of the Clinton’s fellow party members that have died around them, it is…
