Bill Clinton Informative Speech
“Being a president is like running a cemetery, you have a lot of people under you but no one is listening.” This is one of numerous quotes from Bill Clinton. Many people would think Clinton was a great president. Bill had more of a rough childhood, but still found ways to be like a normal child. He seemed to get his life more together by high school, and was doing well by the time he got to college. His life after college also turned out pretty well. Bill was born August 19, 1946, in Hope, Arkansas. His father, William Blythe, died in a fatal car accident before Bill was born, where he was thrown into a drainage ditch and drowned in 1946. Bill had an early commitment to learning and was reading by the age of three. Bill stayed with his grandparents

    For eight single professional women gathered in Dallas, it is holy Wednesday — the night each week that they gather in one of their homes for the Traveling Bachelorette Party. Munching snacks and passing a bottle of wine, they cheer, cry and cackle as their spiritual leader, Trista Rehn, braves heartache, indecision and the occasional recitation of bad poetry to choose from among her 25 swains. Yet something is unsettling Leah Hudson's stomach, and it's not just the wine. "I hate that we've been sucked into the Hoover vac of reality TV," says Hudson, 30. "Do we not have anything better to do than to live vicariously through a bunch of 15-minute-fame…

    On January 20, 1993, the endless chant of “Clinton, Clinton, Clinton!” was the single word heard as the American people watched on TV while “the first Democrat to be elected President since 1976” (Savage), Bill Clinton stepped to the podium to give the anticipated Oath of Office and Inaugural Address. The Inaugural Address of 1993 provided a sufficient amount of evidence that if looked back on, would show that Clinton had kept the promise of “change” that the speech and campaign had been built around. Clinton worked to get the Family and Medical Leave Act, “Don’t ask, don’t tell”, and to raise overall economic growth. In the Inaugural Address Clinton said, “When our founders boldly declared America 's independence to the…

    On September 5th 2012, former president Bill Clinton stepped on stage to address citizens at the Democratic National Convention and countless other Americans watching from home. Clinton’s speech took place prior to the Republican National Convention, and responds to many of the misleading claims that were made there. Clinton’s clear goal and objective is to inform and educate the American voters as to why he believes Barak Obama should be re-elected as opposed to Governor Romney. In doing this he not only gives the facts, but cements his ethos by referencing his own presidency and letting his record speak for itself on issues such as; jobs, the economy, healthcare, and even the constant bickering between parties.…

    William Edward Burghardt Du Bois was born on February 23, 1868, in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, to Alfred and Mary Silvina (née Burghardt) Du Bois. Mary Silvina Burghardt's family was part of the very small free black population of Great Barrington, having long owned land in the state; she was descended from Dutch, African and English ancestors. William Du Bois's maternal great-grandfather was Tom Burghardt, a slave (born in West Africa around 1730) who was held by the Dutch colonist Conraed Burghardt. Tom briefly served in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, which may have been how he gained his freedom. Tom's son Jack Burghardt was the father of Othello Burghardt, who was the father of Mary Silvina Burghardt.…

    Good morning everyone today I will talk about why Donald Trump should not be elected president of the United States.

He also always thinks he is correct and has a hard time admitting that he is wrong. He plans to ban all Muslims until he knows what is going on and better security precautions are made.…
