FORMER DIRECTOR OF WHITE HOUSE VISITORS OFFICE MELINDA BATES PUBLISHES HER BOOK CLINTONISTA IN MEXICO After experiencing the glamour, pressure and surprises of working for the president of the United States, Washington D.C. native and Clinton White House insider, Melinda Bates, chose the peaceful Baja California Pacific coast to write her book Clintonista – a White House Memoir. “As President Obama begins his own journey, I can look back and appreciate the tremendous fun and excitement he’ll have entertaining in the White House,” she said. “But I can honestly say, I don’t miss the cold winters or the intense pressure. Living in Baja California has given me a wonderful perspective, and appreciation, of my years in Washington. It speaks volumes about Mexico’s gracious hospitality that Calafia celebrates a quintessentially American story.” Bates is the only person in history to be a special assistant to the president and director of the White House Visitors Office for all eight years of an administration. From brilliant Easter Egg Rolls with Robert de Niro to tours for the Grateful Dead and the former Queen of Greece (on the same day), Bates’ days were filled with excitement, fun, and stress. Her book is painfully honest – the good times, the surprises, the disappointments and little-known secrets about social life inside the White House. As a long-time friend of the former president, Melinda Bates reveals in Clintonista an unvarnished look at what President Clinton himself called, “a hell of a ride.” For Clintonista prologue and book reviews visit www.Clintonista.net. “The White House is an iconic structure. But with the Clintons, it was really a fantastic place that embraced tradition, the arts and the history being made,” she recalled. “More tranquil and serene, Calafia, where I live now, gives me that same sense of warmth and welcome. It will be wonderful to welcome my own guests and share with them what it was really like working eight years for the president.” Calafia Condos, Resort and Villas is a beach community immediately south of the historic city of Rosarito Beach, 30 minutes from the international border and 15 minutes north of Baja’s famed wine country.
