1. Maybe our next Dem prez could get Clinton to agree to be

Secretary of State.

[Seneca]

2. my fantasy

He one day gets appointed to the Supreme Court as Chief Justice, provided the Democrats can get control of the Congress again.

Could you imagine??? Hey, Taft did it. :-)

Note: I did say this was fantasy. :-)

19. Nice fantasy

But I don't think that will happen. The perjury thing will haunt him if he tries for the Supreme Court. But I think there are other opportunities for him. Imagine if he succeeded Kofi Annan! I know, just another fantasy that won't happen, since Clinton isn't really part of the beauracy at the UN.

3. That's about right, swinney...

And I can't think of a better man for the job of Secratary of State than Bill Clinton. IMHO, the best diplomatic POTUS ever.

17. He cannot be sec of state..

I think that once a person has served two terms they cannot hold any office or position that "could" lead back to the white house :shrug:

[mlawson]

14. Oh, yeah. He is NOT done yet!!!!! n/t

4. What were his poll ratings like in the Middle East ???

which I believe is the problem area at the moment.

5. Why we non-Americans love President Clinton!

Do you want to know why I believe President Clinton was so loved and admired by other countries? Here's my observations as a non-American. He came to my country (Canada) on several occasions and ALWAYS showed genuine respect for our government and our people. He talks proudly of his own country while abroad, but he does NOT insinuate that the United States is a model every other country should aspire to. He does not hesitate to unstintingly praise something in a foreign country that he admires, which is different from his own country. (Health care, for instance.) Besides, he has a great sense of humour and fun. When he spoke before our parliament, Prime Minister Chretien introduced him as "Bill Clinton, president of the United States...our best friend whether we like it or not!"....Clinton laughed harder than anyone....By the way...Clinton and Chretien are still good friends and occasionally golf together.....I think what is obvious to me and probably to Europeans and others is that he has a GOOD HEART...
EDIT-- His wise and intelligent handling of delicate negotiations between adversary countries was well appreciated also...so superior to the cowboy "bring em on" attitude of Bush.

6. the world knows Clinton was trying to make the world a better place

Clinton tried to make the world a better place - for everyone.

You may not have always agreed with Clinton's policies, BUT
he was not in it for the money, nor his donors.
The world's people trusted Clinton.


Bush is the complete opposite.
The world does NOT trust Bush at all.
The world FEARS Bush.
The world sees Bush as one who is for the wealthy ONLY,
at the expense of everyone else in the world.

Bush will historically be one of the most hated US Presidents worldwide EVER.

Bush currently is one of the world's most feared US President's
EVER. The world currently sees Bush as the biggest THREAT
to world peace, and that belief even includes our allies citizens.

8. I agree with everything you've said!

15. Thank you, Glarius, for your Canadian perspective, and

thank you for modelling some good government practices that we need here in the U.S.

Clinton said more nice things about us in a single page than Bush has in the past 10 years!

7. I couldn't agree more!

I love William Jefferson Clinton!

9. Clinton walked among the massive crowds that greeted him around the globe

There will NEVER be another William Jefferson Clinton.

10. Clinton in Kosovo

[Tatiana]

12. Wow.

He's definitely getting that wise "elder statesman" look. He's such a charismatic individual.

[mlawson]

13. Imagine Dumbo doing that???

Hell, he couldn't find Kosovo on a map!! The pics are great, but they are making me sad as hell!

What we have lost......
