The Clinton Library

Arkansas Traveler(s?)


Did you know that there are people in Little Rock who won't take Interstate 30 across the Arkansas River because they don't want to see the Clinton Library?  And it's not because it looks like a double-wide on stilts! 

  A Big Deal in Little Rock   BY KANE WEBB

What perfect timing for a reprise of the Clinton Follies. (As a parlor game, see who can come up with the most obscure Clinton figure who used to be a headliner. Lani Guinier? David Kendall? Greg Craig? Once the stuff of hot type and smoking op-eds, now you have to run a Google search to remember why they were considered important.) After the election, we could all use a vacation from reality. And what better place to spend it than in Bill Clinton's go-go '90s--a decade when everybody had a lot of lawyers--and a little foolish fun. (189)

    education is key for a brighter future for tomorrows children, only time will tell how people vote...
    I like Hillary's stance on education.
    Well I am a daycare owner of 20 years. I like to get my clients help when I see they need it. I'm talking babies up to 7 yr. olds
    I work with many agencies. D.S.S./ parent classes for behavior, red cross  parent training, luck- for anger issues, police for domestic issues. Drug counseling help if they need it.
    -early intervention, food programs for our poor clients. screening  to be sure development is ok.
    like Hillary Clinton's book which I love, it take a village. it the old day we all had so many relatives all watching out for our kids, now families are far away in most cases or too busy to help.
    if we all do our part as teachers to see and know that times have changed and we all have to do our part to be of the village that raises its children. The children that fall through the cracks, the children we don't help. we pay for in prison cost down the line.

    Just my take,
    Cheryl

    Hi Jen -  That is funny!  Perhaps the Clinton library will start a new trend in mobile home design; stilts instead of a concrete foundation.  That would be very practical in the low lying areas along the coast that flood.  I am certain that all those who live in double wides were able to get their's for a lot less money than Clinton paid!

    Next time you post, please give your blog address, as I would like to visit, but I cannot find it. ~~Neddy

    No offense to those living in trailer parks, but that library DOES look like a mobile home.  As a matter of fact, when my husband had it up on his computer and I glanced over, I thought he was looking at a mobile home page!  lol
