Best Guess- Will Bill Clinton Have A Formal/Semi-Formal Role In Obama Administration?
he might make a good envoy to ME.

Bill deserves a lot of credit for his efforts in the ME while in office.

1. Ambassador at large would be my guess
someone who could go and talk with folks when the need arises.

2. I think not.
New faces and no baggage will be the rule, although Rahm is neither.

5. Official Reminder to Keep Your Dick in Your Pants?

7. Agreed, he should have been special envoy to the middle east all along.. fucking shrub walked away
from the gains Clinton made and we are now in two "traditional" wars as well as under constant threat of attack by terrorists.

In my perfect world Bill would be envoy to ME and Hill would be head of foreign relations (I know it won't happen, but a guy can dream)

9. Neither
I think Bill is best at working with his foundation and serving as an unofficial medium to heads of state, etc.

10. Bill should travel around the world as a US ambassador
And occasionally be pictured having cocktails on the beach and generally having having a good time wherever he goes. You know, typical Bill stuff.
