(Video) Marc Lendler - The Bill Clinton Years

5m · Published 07 Oct 11:49
Professor of Government Marc Lendler started teaching his colloquium The Clinton Years almost as soon as Bill Clinton left the presidency.  At first it was an experiment in assessing a presidency immediately after it ended, he says, "before mainstream interpretations got locked in." He did a similar examination with a course covering the eight years of the George W. Bush presidency.  He plans to teach The Clinton Years once more before he replaces it with a course in the Barack Obama years.
