He accomplished a numerous amount of things such as setting educational standards, lowering the unemployment rates, and lowering crime rates. His foreign policy was outstanding as well. Towards the end of his presidency he was stained with the Lewinsky Scandal that molded the way America saw Bill Clinton presidency, inadequate.

Clinton was key in the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. The agreement was between Britain and Northern Ireland about the ways Northern Ireland should be governed. Bill Clinton sealed the deal of the Cold War. He helped convince the Soviet Union to give up their nuclear weapons and control nuclear materials. He also collaborated with NATO to bomb Serbia because Slobodan Milosevic were killing people from certain ethnic groups (On Jobs). He knew about the growing threat of Al Qaeda. As a result, he immediately sent a group of CIA’s to track down Osama Bin Laden (pros cons).
Bill Clinton is a president to remember. People see Bill Clinton's presidency as a failure, but what they fail to acknowledge is the achievements. His presidency was a series of ups and downs. Clinton is mostly remembered by the notorious Lewinsky Scandal, but he is more than just one mistake. Through his drive and determination, Bill Clinton manage to accomplish great things. He set standards for education by creating Goal 2000. He created jobs which lowered the unemployment rate. During his presidency, the unemployment rates were one of the lowest in history. He also had foreign
The biggest thing that he did was probably ending World War II, which was a huge deal for the United States. The second thing that left a pretty good legacy for Truman was the decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japan, which killed many people but saved many lives too. Another thing that Truman left behind when he was in office was the NATO which is a National Atlantic Treaty Organization. The reason Truman created this was to help strengthen Western Allies. Also the state of Israel became a state and was immediately
Yes, he made mistakes, but his victories severely out balanced those mistakes. He became one of the arguably best US Presidents in history, and one does not get that title easily. He believed in many things. He had his faith, he had Peace through Strength, and most of all, he was extremely persuasive. One of his speeches, “A Time for Change”, also called “The Speech”, was from before he became President and was during the election year.
Most came to believe that he did not care for the economy or the people only what they carried in their pockets causing him to lose support for re-election. After his two successful foreign affairs, Noriega and the Gulf War Americans were definitely happy and showed their support for George. One event that weakened the American people and George’s relationship is when George lied about not having new taxes. WHen he clearly passed acts that established new taxes, this angered many
The Oklahoma City bombing was a domestic terrorist truck bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in the United States on April 19, 1995. To comfort the American people and show the families of the people who died that the American people are mourning with them, former President Bill Clinton issued a memorial address. I believe this was necessary and his speech was effective on the grounds that President Clinton was able to create an emotional connection with his audience by ensuring a sense of comfort and giving advice to the many Americans who were astonished by this act of terrorism. Creating an emotional connection with a certain group of people after a traumatic experience is important.
He went on to shut down a corrupt bank, be the first and last president to rid the U.S. of all debt, and make many other accomplishments. However, there were some poor choices along the way. The Trail of Tears being an example of this; the mass killing of multiple Indians. Every president has made mistakes. This being on of the worst.
George W. Bush was an amazing president and helped the world very much. He was president for eight years. He also helped people get through the heartbreak of 9/11. He was an amazing president who helped very many people. George W. Bush was an amazing president but he did have many stressful times that made it that much harder.
Bill Clinton was also an American politician who had served as the 42nd President of the United States. He had served his time from 1993 to 2001 and throughout his time in office, he had both aided yet negatively impacted the United States, which can be seen through many acts and bills he had signed, both domestic and foreign. Domestic accomplishments of President Clinton firstly included cutting the tax, similar to what Reagan had done. Clinton had signed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, cutting taxes for millions of low-income families. He had also cut tax for almost 100% of small businesses and raised the tax on the wealthiest taxpayers.
The greatest president that has ever served the United States is George Washington. He was not only the first president of the United States but also the commander in chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. He was victorious over the British and quickly became a hero doing so. He helped draft the constitution and with his leadership and courage. As first president, he become a role model for every other present succeeding him and helped create our countries values that we cherish so much today.
Overall, his way of presidency and amount of bills he had vetoed, really helps support the fact that he was a
He was one of the better presidents in my opinion through his accomplishments. Some of the domestic things that Jefferson changes where through the states. Thomas Jefferson proudly succeeded in limiting the size of government by reducing taxes and the national debt in 1801. He also established a military academy to produce more soldiers to help out the military. Jefferson also repealed or took away the Alien and Sedition in 1801.
The President I have have chosen is Andrew Johnson. He was the 17th President of the United States serving from 1865-1869. He started out as a vice president when president Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. After that someone had to be elected the new president. Andrew Johnson was chosen.
Unlike Harding, Coolidge rarely spoke and was honest to the public. Citizens liked how honest he was after having Harding as president; this led them to believe in the government. They even continued to engage in post-war activities suck as drink, smoke, and dance while Coolidge was president (Calvin Coolidge). He tried to keep the United States at peace by refusing to enter the League of Nations and placing high taxes on imported goods. Inside the United States, he cut taxes and took a step back from leading the country.
By the end of his Presidency, Clinton was able to make education a priority, which to me was his greatest success. But, just like anyone, Clinton had his high times and low times. Other than his huge sex scandal that lost his popularity with
After the 9/11 attacks, America was devastated and distraught. America was in need of a leader. We needed someone to take us in and protect us, to make us feel safe again. George W. Bush (our president at this time) acted as our protector. He comforted America with his sympathetic words, but also managed to bring forth fear to the terrorist.
“Your goal can be something simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending time each day reading a book,” says the President. As a student, he wants them to commit to it and work at it despise the failures they may experience. Obama wants the failures to teach the students rather than define them. As the President of the United States, Barack Obama has also failed many times in his life in which he sees that led to his success. As a student myself, I set goals for myself such as sustaining a 3.5 GPA and staying focused as much as I can in the classroom.
