American Experience Clinton Documentary

If you get a chance, be sure to watch the awesome job American Experience did with its documentary about Bill Clinton, simply titled "Clinton".

As someone that was 19-years old in 1992, Bill Clinton was the first person I ever voted for, and I even got to shake his hand during his re-election campaign in early 1996. The Clinton presidency was an important period in my life as it started while I was a college sophomore contemplating my future and ended while I was shopping for an engagement ring to give to the woman to whom I am married today. Watching all 3 hours and 35 minutes really brought back some great memories about my 20's and also how great the 1990's were compared to today.

Here is part 1 of 27. Please take the time to watch this documentary. You will be glad you did.

Watch Clinton on PBS. See more from American Experience.

For further reference, this is how it's done:

What is the "Henry G. Freeman Jr. Pin Money Fund"?

If you saw the President's financial disclosure form, you may have noticed page 9, which reads:

"Mr. Henry G. Freeman Jr. died in 1917. His estate is administered by Wells Fargo Bank, San Francisco, CA as trustee. Mr. Freeman's will provided that upon the death of the last to die of certain named relatives, certain charitable income interests would be created and an annuity would be paid to each First Lady during her husband's term as President. In 2010, the First Lady received $10,000 from the Henry G. Freemen Jr. Pin Money Fund."

It turns out this is actually a very cool story that is worth reading.
