Q: Would ANOTHER Clinton Presidency be "2 for the price of 1"?

From a December 2007 Washington Post article

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/21/AR2007122102588.html

Both Clintons are making the case that theirs was a co-presidency -- an echo of Bill Clinton's controversial statement during the 1992 campaign that voters would get "two for the price of one" if they elected him. At times, the former president has seemed to cast the current race as a referendum on his administration.


So, is it going to a co-presidency?

No. Hillary will be in charge. Bill will putter and keep busy elsewhere - maybe golf?

Dumb question - they were never "co-presidents" - he just said that to make her happy!

Which I call the Disney Profits Protection Act which once again extended copyright limits keeping Disney properties out of the public domain and granting greater power infringe on "fair use".

Really?

There is always only one President of the United States. That President often seeks advice and ideas from others, including a spouse. Thus has it always been.

Unrec.

Bill also had Hillary involved in POLICY work at an unprecedented level (remember the Health Care Initiative she was in charge of?) and NEVER walked back the "co-president" concept.

So, yeah, I am comfortable asking because I really want to know - two for one or NOT?
