Bill Clinton is the embodiment and epitome of American politics in the postmodern mediated
age. Clinton's able marshaling of images which allowed him to retain popularity and position
when faced with compelling obstacles marks him as the preeminent figure in a fluid and
fluctuating era of image-politics. Constructing Clinton: Hyperreality & Presidential
Image-Making in Postmodern Politics pays particular attention to the collection of disparate
sometimes connected often random images that create a site of political meaning we know as
Bill Clinton former president of the United States. Through analyses of unique image texts -
including The Man from Hope The War Room Primary Colors MTV's Biorhythms and PBS' The
American President - Constructing Clinton focuses on the image of Bill Clinton as it was
defined by and trapped in the hyperreality so characteristic of contemporary presidential
politics.
