What function should/will Bill Clinton Play in an Obama Presidency?

[polticalpout]

I really hope we see Bill Clinton playing some role in Obama's Presidency. Sure there has been some bad blood between them thus far but I think that will be looked at as just part of the campaign race. Do you think he will be utilized as Bush used him in unofficial roles (tsunami reconstruction) or could Bill be placed in a cabinet position? Imagine how much would that infuriate the hard right wingers.


Please, no attacks on the Clinton's in this thread.

1. Ambassador to Lichentenstein?

Or maybe African Relief Czar

[truebrit71]

2. None. He should stay on the speechifying circuit and continue to rack up the $$$

...to help pay off his missus' campaign debt...

[Lerkfish]

8. he got 24 million from china, and millions from Dubai and colombia

he'll be doing just fine on his own.

[truebrit71]

22. Well yeah, that too....

....:rofl:

[Lerkfish]

3. your last line prevents me from pointing out how flawed your thinking is.

[BlooInBloo]

4. UN ambassador sounds good to me - if he still has the fire after this humiliation.

[MonkeyFunk]

5. Any democrat

would use him as a special ambassador as needed.

[scheming daemons]

6. NONE WHATSOEVER

Time for new blood.

Fill the cabinet positions with NOBODY associated with the Clintons or the DLC.


Fresh start for America.

18. I wouldn't mind Wes Clark in the cabinet.

The others....no thanks.

[DevonRex]

7. Since Bill seems to have lost his mind, absolutely none. nt

[seabeyond]

9. go to fl and mi and state over and over that obama really did not have anything to do

with their loss of vote. that it was the people that decided to move the primaries up knowing the voter would be penalized.

over and over and over.

over and over and over.

[TwilightGardener]

11. Bill can help him. I hope he does.

[Ytzak]

12. Past Presidents tend to serve as ambassador's at large in times of crises...

I think that model will continue to work.

[Az_lefty]

13. None, both Clinton's have become a total embarrassment.

[DB1]

14. Ambassador to Harlem, already has office, can spend 8 years apologizing .....

for his recent behavior.

[progdog]

21. There you go.

Great idea.

[MannyGoldstein]

15. Ambassador To South Africa [nt]

[tularetom]

16. Defendant

[dysfunctional press]

17. private citizen and ex-husband of a u.s. senator.

bill's paid his dues- now it's time to get what's due him- party time!

[NeedleCast]

19. None?

Why should he? He was president for eight years! What else does he need? Take the same sort of role as Jimmy Carter has...as a bit of a good will ambasador for the US in an un-official capacity.

[Amy6627]

20. Changing the bed linens in the Lincoln bedroom. n/t.

[Obamanaut]

23. Spectator from afar. nt

[livetohike]

24. None. Let former Pres. Clinton do something worthwhile

on his own dime and let the sun shine in on a new era of politics.

[blm]

25. NONE - this country needs Open Government to fix all that is wrong. Closed government DOESN'T WORK

and we have ample proof of that.

Why do you want ANY closed government protectors influencing our chance at an open government White House?

[Justitia]

26. Golf caddy.

[oviedodem]

27. He has to find a way even though it is not a popular thought

[stillcool]

28. I think they should pay off their debt...

before taking an active part in government.

[Lucky 13]

29. None

Unless it is some sort of good-will ambassador type role

[AllentownJake]

30. He should do what Carter does

and stay as far away from the White House as possible except for cermonies.

[Dr Fate]

31. I'd love to see him working for the UN.

I hope there are not too many sour grapes for Bill to want to contiune to contribute...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

32. Horny roommate.

[Aloha Spirit]

33. Border patrol?

[ShortnFiery]

34. None. No attack but have mercy on our Party and go back to NY State ...

Bubba has trashed his reputation both within the party and with the Nation as a whole. I hope him and Hill stay "happily married" but chose to FADE INTO POLITICAL OBSCURITY save for NY State politics.

I'm SICK of the Clintons: I've reached FULL Clinton Burn-Out! :shrug:

[TragedyandHope]

35. Elder statesman, informal advisor and humanitarian

[BklynChick]

36. none.

[CindyKay]

37. NONE

[Jane Austin]

38. Ambassador to Tibet?

The Vatican? Estonia? Nepal?

[Abacus]

39. None, sincerely.

I think he has tarnished his image and would be a greater distraction and liability than asset.

[Cha]

40. None..get them to fuck back to

New York or whereever the fuck they came from.
