Bill Clinton

Performer Artisan

A legend in his own mind, Bill Clinton's autobiography is a clear example of a Performer Artisan's candid but partial view of himself and his important role in American politics. Performers are great at putting a fine gloss on everything, because of their optimistic view of themselves and the world. A Performer like Bill Clinton should give you an entertaining view, if rather concretely minute detailed, of what an extremely bright Performer thinks about, and ignores -- since those who were watching him know what he gives short shrift. It is important to understand this uniquely brilliant and articulate Performer Artisan.

To quote amazon.com "President Clinton's book is also the fullest, most concretely detailed, most nuanced account of a presidency ever written--encompassing not only the high points and crises but the way the presidency actually works: the day-to-day bombardment of problems, personalities, conflicts, setbacks, achievements." (My emphasis).
