Clintonista: A White House Memoir

Clintonista, A White House Memoir, is a behind-the-scenes look at life and work in the world's most powerful house. Melinda Bates is the only person in history to run the White House Visitors Office for all eight years of an administration. From her perch in the East Wing she organized Easter Egg Rolls, fireworks viewings, and ceremonies for visiting heads of state. Breakfast with Tom Hanks, lunch with Michael Douglas, gifts from the King of Morocco, and dinner seated next to President Bill Clinton were all in a day's work. The author is uniquely qualified to take the reader backstage as celebrities, dignitaries and political power brokers visit President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. How does the White House work? What happens when it doesn’t work so well? How does someone get a job there? Everybody loves the White House, and Clintonista is a zany, heart-breaking, and compelling first- hand account of eight amazing years of American history.

Melinda is an enthusiastic writer who shares her experience... a fun read with lots of personal photos of her experience. A fast and enjoyable read.

For me, it was one of those books that I couldn't put down. I throughly enjoyed a behind the scene view of the Clinton years in the White House. Humorous, and a good light reading.

I enjoyed the book but found it aa little too much about the author and not the President. But what a great career!

Melinda Bates is as honest and open in recounting her eight years at the White house as anyone has a right to expect. The author is rather blunt in places but that only adds to the authenticity of the stories she tells.

5A BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOOK DURING THE CLINTON YEARS  Jan 01, 2009
I have just finished Clintonista, a book by Melinda Bates. It took me less than two days to read it, as I couldn't put it down.

It was humorous, touching, interesting and full of stories that were both eye-opening and informative. It took me into the White House as I've never seen it before, watching Melinda maneuver herself from one famous person after another. I now also realize how significant being the director of the White House Visitor's Office is.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the behind-the-scenes look at the White House, during the Clinton years.
