Right from the start President Clinton’s subliminal messages took action. “This afternoon in this room, from this chair, I testified before the Office of Independent Council and the grand jury” (Clinton 133). The phrase “…in this room, from this chair…” is removing the public out of their perceived belief of a distant White House scandal, and bringing them closer to him as an individual.

lever in his choice and phrasing of the words he chose. A few paragraphs into his address, he says “I know that my public comments and my silence about this matter gave a false impression. I misled people” (Clinton 133). By using the phrase false impression so closely followed by “I misled people” the impression that is left by the subconscious is that there is a false impression that he misled people. There is no doubt that there are subliminal forces at work in this address that are beyond the simple statements that he articulated.

He starts off by saying “This has gone on too long, costs too much, and hurt too many innocent people” (Clinton 133). Which would hopefully place an image that would help to make the public understand what is more important, gossip and scandal or political and national security. What better way to turn attention away from his affairs than to bring in the thought of his family. He tries to use the respect of privacy regarding family by saying, “Now, this matter is between, the two people I love most
