When it opened two months ago, Bill Clinton's presidential library was supposed to draw so many visitors that the city of Little Rock would become a tourist mecca.
However early reports claiming that over 100,000 had visited in just the first six weeks have turned out to be bogus.
The National Archives and Records Administration, which operates the facility, tells U.S. News & World Report that only 42,054 paid to enter. The rest were guests of the former president and freebies to VIPs. Despite wall-to-wall television coverage of its opening, and a deluge of favorable press, attendance figures for the $162 million compound are even less than the attendance at the Reagan and Bush 41 libraries immediately after they opened.
"I thought it would be better," a disappointed Clinton told the magazine.

Harder to get to?! LOL. I'd like to hear her explanation for that. The Little Rock Chamber of Commerce just excreted a brick.
I have been by this site hundred of times and a navigator of the roadways I am not, but would have no trouble getting down in the riverbed if I had an ATV.
PS It is very close to the airport and right under the flight path.
That is what she said...can you believe it?
Honestly, I want to like ED and then she comes out with something idiotic (I can just tell she thinks she's being so "fair") like that.
I have been by this site hundreds of times and I think that it would be very easy to get to if you had an ATV to down in the riverbed with.

LOL. Maybe the Chamber of Commerce should call E.D. But then they might be opening up a new can of worms, because if Little Rock and the liebrary are so easy to get to, why is the attendance so lousy?
Just now saw this on FOXNEWS! LMAO!
This means they won't get to retire to France like they wanted to.....
Could it be that Clinton is not the great president that he thinks that he was?
Well, maybe she meant that Arkansas isn't as big a tourist destination as CA or TX. I guess a better determiner of popularity might be how many folks who visit Little Rock also visit the liebrary. I can't see too many going to Arkansas just to visit Toon's shrine.

If they add the blue dress, the attendance will rival Graceland.
The shine has definitely worn off the apple, methinks.
The Toons, unlike fine wine, do not improve with age.
The peep shows suck. They need new material.
I'd heard about what was torn down. That's what really frosted me.
It's only $7.00 admission for adults. And its only closed three days per year (Christmas, New Years, and Thanksgiving) so you don't have to worry about getting there on the 4th of July and finding it closed.

I'm positive that is what she meant, but really, how stupid. How come, when the clintonistas were trilling about the expected avalanche of touristas nobody said "but Arkansas won't be a draw". As usual, the slavish media slobbered over the clinton press releases and didn't doubt for a minute.
I was very pleased to hear about this far far below projected attendance, especially since that is what I predicted. And not due to Arkansas. Due to HIM. If people liked him, they'd go. They don't, so they won't. Simple as that. (I know you know)
Having lived within walking distance from Graceland,I can tell you this attraction will be just as tacky.
Yeah and with his servile press telling us how great he was at every turn.
They need to build and open up the CounterClinton Lie-brary
http://www.counterclintonlibrary.com/. Then we will have something to see.
