Wait this is that racist Bill Clinton who made that awfull derogatory comment about Obama in SC? He hates black people, I guess thats why he has been collecting so much money to help out the poor in Africa.

Regrettably, the most far reaching decision he made as President seems to be his removal of the insecticides that controlled bedbugs

Yeah right, make Bill Clinton emperor.

Remember the old tale of the emperor who had no clothes? With Bill it would be the emperor has no pants. And where's his secretary.

Look, I voted for the guy. He did some good stuff when he was in office. But the bad negated a lot of the good.

Right?

Who cares about that stuff. America needs to get over its peevishness about sex.

Clinton has the best economic record of any President in History. He would have fixed this mess in the last two years instead of watching it destroy his credibility like Obummer has.

No doubt.

Bill should try to save America first. I'm still waiting for his "Dialogue on Race". Remember?

If he were really serious about doing something important to redeem himself, he should try to solve the biggest problem of the nation in which he lives.

Then, if he's still alive, he can save the world.

Right?

The biggest problem facing America is the unemployment and economic competition from overseas.

We are sick and tired of hearing about the global inituative. I am sure people in the USA do not wish to live in huts-without running water to help someone else overseas.
Let the elite who want to do this crape give up their mansions if they are for this.

Ads on this page such as the one at the bottom "Grayson Betrayed Seniors" by the so called 60plus.org - are organized by, paid for by the seniors "best friend" big pharma and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America. Nothing like politics in America.

In this picture Clinton looks old, like death warmed over.

what a useless report - i am no more informed after watching it than when i read the headline.
what companies are involved?
what are the objective of clintons organization?
if there were less clinton-compliments, and more relevant questions asked by this 'reporter' we might all know a bit more about whats happening here. rubbish.

Great way to meet young idealistic chicks and it's all paid for by donations!
Bill is as clever as ever!

Bill Clinton is my political hero. He may not be able to save the world, but he sure is working as hard as ever to try and do good things, at the same time he is trying his best to save his beloved Democratic Party from a pasting at the polls. Long may he live and continue his good work!

He may not be able to save the world, but I'm sure the world appreciates his effort to improve things where he can.

I wounder why Clinton didn't do anything major to stop Osama bin laden from growing stronger in the 90's, he launched multiple attack on american instrest over seas and nothing happened.

I like Bill and Hillary but many here are giving them way too much credit.

At least "save the world" is tongue-in-cheek in this case, unlike when the Radical Right refers to Bush and Cheney.

Considering what NAFTA did to America's mfg base, I'm sure he can unleash something even MORE destructive on the world.

How bout we put him out to stud at an intern ranch and call it good.

Most informed people know that NAFTA was proposed, initiated and implemented by the GOP's beloved Reagan.

Here is Mr. Clinton in his own words looking to NAFTA to change the world.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3ooMrgXido&feature=player_embedded#!

Here is President Obama saying he never liked NAFTA and how Hillary's claim that she was not in favor of NAFTA are false

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhh7SvDIWGk&feature=player_embedded

And here are President Obama's supporters saying how all the folks he brought into his administration are pro-NATFA

Can Bill Clinton Save the World?

As long as he doesn't INTERN-alize the process.
