The Final Days

This was a cute video. I saw a little snippet of it on the news so I went searching for it and found it on the web. It gave me a good laugh. It showed a comical view to the office of the President in it's final days. There is'nt much to do and he's bored and takes over some of the household chores to pass the time. For those who have not seen it but want to just do a quick internet search and I'm sure you'll find it. It shows Clinton's sense of humor and it looked like the staff had fun doing it as well. There are about 3 cameos from people I'm sure you'll recognize as well. It was fun to watch. It's only a few minutes long and worth watching.

...is that he has a sense of humor, and isn't above poking a little fun about himself. This little gem of a short film was made for a White House press dinner, and really does star President Clinton--not a celebrity impersonator. Not to be missed!

This is a very funny little film about the last days of Bill Clinton being the president of the USA. He is very bored and down and is looking for some things to fill his time and cheer him up. Even Kevin Spacey turns up for a funny cameo. Very funny, 9/10.

Ah, a simpler time. When there's a president now who's skipping the White House Correspondents' Dinner, resurrecting a sinister phrase in history, "enemy of the people", to disparage the free press, the dinner from 17 years ago left us with an artifact delightful from start to finish. Bill Clinton stars as himself in The Final Days, satirizing the "lame duck" issue.

It's hard to stop laughing throughout the short, seeing the President of the United States washing his own car, trimming his own garden after Al Gore speaks of his legacy in green spaces. What kind of President would submit himself to the indignity of a short like this? A President with a sense of humour about himself and life in general, a jovial personality who wants to put people at ease at an event like a media dinner.Makes up for Clinton not actually acting in Contact (1997)!

This snippet of hilarity, directed by Phil Rosenthal (who directs the TV series "Everybody Loves Raymond"), wryly details the lame-duck final days of Bill Clinton's presidency. There's the President reading "Entertainment Weekly" while the laundry is on spin-cycle. There's the President dealing with environmental issues by clipping the White House hedges. There's the President running after a limousine carrying Hillary, who's forgotten the brown-bag lunch he's prepared. An SNL-type skit produced with wit and style, it showcases the Clinton charm that both his friends and foes readily acknowledge.

I caught PRESIDENT CLINTON: FINAL DAYS on C-SPAN, which was running the White House Correspondents' Dinner where the film premiered. I have since suggested to the Democratic National Committee that it should sell the video as a fund-raiser; I would certainly buy a copy!
