Clinton’s 10!
The 42nd President of the United States of America Bill Clinton takes centre stage at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel tomorrow, Monday, October 25, for the ‘Embracing Our Common Humanity’ address.
The event brought to you by Whistle production and sponsored by Supreme Ventures Ltd, Scotiabank Group and Digicel, will open with cocktails at 7:00 pm followed by Clinton’s address at 9:00 pm. Ahead of that, though, SO is sharing with you 10 things we love about Bill!
1. A southerner from Little Rock Arkansas, Clinton’s childhood nickname was ‘Bubba’.
2. Clinton’s coolness continues: he’s the only president to play the saxophone. He learned to play the instrument in high school, as part of a jazz trio called Three Blind Mice.
3. He was elected governor of Arkansas when he was 32, making him the youngest governor in the United States at that time.
4. A gracious man, Clinton gave over 140 pardons on his last day as president.
5. As president, Bill Clinton and his family would often watch movies in the White House cinema… his favourite movie is High Noon.
6. His daughter and only child Chelsea Clinton recently wed Mark Mevinsky at the Astor Courts Estate in Rhinebeck, New York.
7. He’s married to the most powerful woman in international politics, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
8. His favourite foods are chicken enchiladas, bananas, apples and vegetable beef soup.
9. Interestingly, when the Clintons celebrated Thanksgiving, Bill would serve all the staff first before he and his family ate dinner.
10. Clinton’s Secret Service code name is Eagle.
