LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Free admission is bringing thousands of visitors to the new Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock.
Skip Rutherford, the president of the foundation that built the library, said more than 9,000 people showed up Friday -- far exceeding the 3,000 that had been expected.
Rutherford said lines were steady despite an Arkansas Razorbacks football game.
He said the crowd included many locals, as well as people from all over the world.
The presidential library is waiving its normal $7 entry fee over the holiday weekend.
The $165 million glass-and-steel building, home to artifacts and documents gathered during Clinton's eight years in the White House, was dedicated Nov. 18.
Visitors to the Clinton library are greeted at an oval reception area and sent on their way after a visit to a replica of the Oval Office.
Library director David Alsobrook said two hours ought to let tourists cover everything.
Alsobrook said visitors with only an hour to spare should make it a point to see the gifts from foreign leaders.

Oh come on - be honest. Don't you want to get a look at the mock up of the "finishing sink" off the oval office?

And, ladies, never mind that shadowy looking figure you think you see through the mirror in the restroom.

Why would anyone pay money to see Clinton's dung heap of lies and distortions? You can get the same experience for free, by sticking your head into an outhouse.

For FREE anyone would go for a laugh BUT when they start charging it may become a ghost town. Who'd want to waste $7.00 seeing ole Bill's LIEbrary?

It has been open for only a week and they already have to waive the admission fee?
Is this customary?

We can safely say that his Liebury is one big sink.

I lived in a mobile home that was similar to the Clinton Library. Amazing.
