| Clinton Library -- Little Rock, Arkansas |

The Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock
is chock-full of informative displays and videos
about Clinton's presidency (1992-2000). Just
inside the lobby is his Presidential limousine.
The real highlight of the library, though, is a
full-scale replica of the Oval Office exactly as
it appeared during his presidency. Clinton is
said to visit the library from time to time and
walk through the “Oval Office” just to make
sure everything looks as it should. There’s
also a recreation of the Cabinet Room.
We enjoyed a video made during Clinton's final
year in office poking fun at his lame-duck
status. It showed him with way too much time
on his hands – reduced to doing the laundry,
washing the Presidential limo, and mowing the
lawn. One Clinton quote we particularly liked:
“There is nothing wrong with America that
cannot be cured by what is right with America.”
