Abstract
This paper explains that Princess Diana and President Clinton exuded considerable charm that helped developed their initial popularity with their public. The author points out that, in each case, sexual indiscretion on the part of one or both of the marital partners enjoyed a high public profile. The paper stresses that both Diana and Clinton devoted a significant amount of time to political or social causes close to their hearts.
From the Paper
"Still, no story has just one side, and Bill Clinton has done much to forward political and social causes close to his heart. One of these is the cause of disadvantaged black people. For his work, Clinton has earned the honor of being inducted into the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame. For his work promoting the interests of marginalized blacks not only in the United States, but around the world, Toni Morrison has referred to Clinton as ?our first Black president?. He was also the first White person to receive the honor of being inducted in the Black Hall of Fame. Rodney Slater, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation, introduced Clinton with the words: "Mr. President, you have given so many of us the opportunity to be the first Black this, the first Black that, and tonight we are going to give you the opportunity to become the first White inductee into the Black Hall of Fame.""

Abstract
The thesis is divided into eight sections that appear as follows. The first section investigates key concepts from Adlerian psychology that are pertinent to the analysis of Clinton's life. The second section explores major events from Clinton's early, formative years-events that an Adlerian analysis would indicate are critical for understanding how the former president developed his unique approach to life. The investigation also provides an exploration of Clinton's possible mistaken beliefs and their formation in his early childhood. In addition, the research examines Clinton's painful earliest recollections and how his interpretation of organ inferiority pushed him to over compensate in his life. Adlerian tools of birth order are used to examine how Clinton's position as an only child/firstborn within his family affected his unique approach to life. In addition, the research provides an exploration of how the painful experiences of childhood neglect, like those that are reflected in Clinton's experiences with his stepfather Roger Clinton, and his mothers leaving him at a young age to study nursing, might contribute to the development of what Adler characterized as neurotic tendencies. The writer also applies Adlerian insights to explain the role of Family Hero in Clinton's life and its later impact on his adult life and presidency. The seventh and eighth sections explore how such a brilliant leader and popular president could give his enemies the ammunition they wanted by continuous sexual infidelities. Finally, the thesis explores the accomplishments of Bill Clinton and the Adlerian principles ultimately helped him succeed.

From the Paper
"The examination of American Presidents has fascinated Americans for many years. In recent years, the life of William Jefferson Clinton has been a particular point of interest. The purpose of this thesis is to describe, analyze, and discuss the private and public lives of Bill Clinton in congruence with the psychology of Alfred Adler. Assorted characteristics of Clinton's unique approach to life will be discussed and analyzed, and the study will recognize some political processes and outcomes. The discussion will not take a political stance on Bill Clinton; instead, it aims to recognize that his style of leadership was a result of his lifestyle. In order to describe and analyze Clinton impartially through the lens of Adlerian psychology, the thesis will identify all facets of Bill Clinton's character. For this reason, the thesis will evaluate the difficult circumstances in which he was born, and both the good and negative aspects of his early family life. Additionally, the thesis will reveal that although the former president had major struggles to overcome he managed to more often than not embody the crucial Adlerian qualities of equality, balance of power, gender equality, cooperation and social interest."

Bill Clinton, 2006.
A paper analyzing Bill Clinton's attributes as a president.
3,709 words (approx. 14.8 pages), 25 sources, APA, $ 102.95
»

Abstract
This paper discusses former president William Jefferson Clinton, and describes how his character traits affected his presidency. The paper describes both Clinton's weaknesses and strengths as a leader and shows how Clinton's personal life was not relevant to his presidential successes. The paper enumerates many of Clinton's achievements and explains how Clinton's leadership skills helped him reach them. The author discusses the Monica Lewinsky affair and contends that it had no bearing on Clinton's ability to be president or his leadership abilities.
From the Paper
"For Bill Clinton, more than any other president in recent memory (possibly excepting the current President Bush), character not only helps establish a leadership style, but rather defines it. For Bill Clinton, his character weaknesses also defined, more clearly than perhaps had been done before, exactly what the American people thought might constitute leadership in their president, and what that leadership must accomplish and what it could do without."

Abstract
This paper reviews and summarizes Radcliffe's book about Hilary Clinton, her successes, failures, political career and personal life and the forces that shaped her early career.
From the Paper
"Hillary Rodham Clinton grew up in an era where women often felt like they had to make a choice-choose between children and a career, between love and pursuing a life's dream of professional success. But Hillary Clinton was determined to 'have it all.' She wanted both a fulfilling private and personal life, and a fulfilling life as a career woman and later, as a politician on the national and international stage. This conviction came not simply from her ambition and her desire to advance the career of her husband. Rather, it was also motivated by a desire to engage in social activism, particularly to advance the causes the First Lady felt passionate about, such as children's rights, as well as and including women's rights."

From the Paper
"During his first term as governor, Clinton made efforts to improve Arkansas's economy, which was among the poorest in the country. He focused on improving the state highways as they were in a bad shape but had to raise taxes for meeting the cost, which proved unpopular. Some of his other initiatives such restriction on tree-cutting in national forests were opposed by the lumber and paper-making companies, while bankers were annoyed with his proposal to withhold state funds from banks that did not lend enough money for small businesses. Most of all, his opponents exploited the government's settling of Cuban refugees in Arkansas, by evoking the fear that they would take away jobs from the local workers. All of these factors contributed to Clinton's defeat in his bid for re-election for the governorship in 1980 against the Republican Party candidate (Ibid.)"

Abstract
This paper reviews the strategy used by Hillary Clinton in getting elected to the United States senate. The writer studies this historic episode because Hillary Rodham Clinton is the only first lady ever to run for such a high office, and this fact alone draws considerable media and other attention. The paper explores women in politics and leadership before looking specifically the the case of Hillary Clinton. The writer includes a background into her politics, family life and values. The paper then explores the needs of the state of New York and the ability of Clinton to meet those needs.
From the Paper
"Hillary Rodham Clinton herself is a lightning rod for conservative and Republican political activists and for some voters, and this fact cannot be ignored. This is true not only because of a certain anger at the personal behavior of her husband but also because the Clintons have been demonized by the opposition since Bill Clinton was first elected President, and even before that in Arkansas. One might think that as the wronged wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton would gain more sympathy, but instead her status as victim is turned into a warped idea of how evil she and her husband are."

From the Paper
"Abstract
This psycho-historical analysis of Bill Clinton concentrates on the period of his adolescence from the vantage point of three types of developmental theory. The theoretical perspectives are those of Erik Erikson, whose psychosocial approach was psychoanalytic in origin but transcended basic psychoanalytic theory by expanding into the are of relations between human beings and their social settings; James Fowler, who drew on Erikson's developmental schemes and others but concerned himself with the individual's development of faith; and Jean Piaget, whose theory dealt primarily with cognitive development in children but extended into adolescence and adulthood as well. The three theoretical perspectives are applied to three themes: peer relations, parent-child relations, and academics. Each of these themes is developed on ..."

Abstract
This paper looks at the moral and ethical debate surrounding former President Clinton's affair with former intern, Monica Lewinsky. In doing so, the paper compares Clinton's propensity for extra-marital affairs with that of former President Kennedy, also known to have had several extra-marital relationships. The paper notes the difference in press coverage and societal standards that made it possible for Kennedy to avoid public scandal but impossible for Clinton to avoid it. The paper also looks at the moral and ethical responsibility of a leader to be not only a proper role model, but to accept responsibility for his actions. The paper concludes by arguing that, while Clinton's behavior was unacceptable on a personal level, his service to the country was genuine and highly successful.
From the Paper
"In today?s political world, leaders are looked up to for creating a healthy social environment that is a pre-requisite for a healthy governing environment. More over, a growing population of the working class Americans is taking greater interest in ethics and values these days. Most voters link bad ethics with a person?s character. Many are of the view that a few ?bad apples? can spoil the working environment for the rest of the nation. Speaking of ethics, an individual who is well groomed should be able to act ethically without special training."

Abstract
Through a reading of her memoir "Living History", this paper assesses Clinton?s rise to leadership and her various strengths and weaknesses as a leader. The first part of the paper studies the first leadership roles of the young Hillary. The next part then evaluates Clinton?s actions in light of the various theories discussed in Peter G. Northouse?s "Leadership" and Lee G. Bolman?s "Reframing Organizations". The next parts examine how she has gone on assuming new roles, from her political conversion to a Democrat and her early career as a lawyer in Arkansas. Much of the paper is necessarily devoted to her leadership role as the First Lady amid much scandal, public adulation, and public censure. In the last section, the paper summarizes how the theories on leadership help shed light on the processes and decisions made by Clinton through various points in her career.
From the Paper
"Unlike them, Clinton was clearly not interested in this delicate, secondary form of leadership. Rather, she became an active participant in several of her husband?s most important campaigns ? from health care to welfare reform. When her term as First Lady ended, she extended her leadership role further in her new position as New York?s junior senator."

This paper serves as an analysis of Hilary Clinton's speech claiming abortion to be a tragedy.

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at how Hillary Clinton's speech regarding abortion as a tragedy, is intended to be an emotional appeal to the people. The writer notes that she uses Roe v. Wade as a benchmark in time, perhaps to give the speech legitimacy by associating it with that successful court case. The writer further points out that in her opening paragraph, Clinton sets the tone for the rest of her speech. This paper identifies some of the areas in which Clinton seeks to influence the thinking of her audience through emotions rather than facts.
From the Paper
"From its very opening, Hillary Clinton's speech is intended to be an emotional appeal to the people. She uses Roe v. Wade as a benchmark in time, perhaps to give the speech legitimacy by associating it with that successful court case. In her opening paragraph, Clinton sets the tone for the rest of her speech. She refers to the Roe v. Wade decision as being a "landmark decision that struck a blow for freedom and equality for women". Clinton speaks of people on "the front line," of Roe v. Wade as being "in jeopardy." She also equates Roe v. Wade with "quality healthcare". All of these words and phrases are intended to elicit the listener's emotions. Many such words and phrases populate Hilary Clinton's speech."

Abstract
Prevailing political theories do not completely capture the opportunities and obstacles facing Hillary Rodham Clinton, for no woman in American politics has ever been a powerful and influential First Lady, a prominent senator from a major state, and an acknowledged front-runner for the Presidency. In addition to this unique combination of accomplishments, no woman in American politics has ever been demonized by political opponents like Mrs. Clinton has, for she has been relentlessly slandered by conservatives as a dangerous radical and has been accused of criminal conduct ranging from Whitewater fraud to the murder of Vince Foster. This paper presents a political profile of Hillary Rodham Clinton and examines what opportunities and obstacles lay ahead for her in her political life.

Background
Policy Positions
This Campaign and Beyond
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Even as early as former president Bill Clinton's inauguration in 1993, Hillary Clinton was a force to contend with. Early on, Mrs. Clinton received serious criticism for expanding the First Lady's role in the White House. Despite this criticism, as well as criticism on personal issues, Mrs. Clinton's strength of will and determination to succeed have contributed to the achievements that have led to her current position. These factors also contribute to the possible Democratic nomination of Hillary Clinton for presidential candidate."

Hillary Rodham Clinton, 2007.
A biography on the life and political career of Hillary Rodham Clinton.

»

Abstract
The paper discusses how the news of a possible candidacy from Hillary Clinton in the presidential elections has created a media frenzy, polarizing the public opinion into supporters and opponents. The paper further discusses Clinton's possible opponent, Condaleeza Rice. The paper concludes that, while Dr. Rice could boast coordinating the American foreign policy in the 2004-2008 period, Hillary Clinton will encourage people to vote for her with slogans emphasizing her care for the American public. The writer proposes that her status as New York senator will help her in this sense.
From the Paper
"Hillary Clinton is following in the great procession of female politicians who have made history, like Indira Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher or Angela Merkel more recently. Starting as a successful lawyer and passing through the First Lady of the Untied States, she is now a political figure on her own and with significant chances of being taken into consideration for the highest position in US."
