I think Bill Clinton could be described as having a "hyperthymic" temperament, meaning he naturally has a lot of energy, charisma, and drive. This isn't pathological, it's completely normal for him (and a lot of other people). There is no corresponding depression, thus he couldn't be called bipolar.
