You gotta hand it to Clinton, old habits die hard... guess he has a thing for receiving lines... Yahoo/AP offers this shot of Bill Clinton "greeting audience members" at a rally for John Kerry at Love Park, Philadelphia--of all places. The rally, by the way, drew over 100,000 people. link
No politician in modern times connected with the voters like Bill Clinton. If he were running against Dubya on November 2nd, the Dub would be conceding a week before the election.
A rumor that'll give Rush (and the right) nightmares! Bill Clinton to run U.N.? 'He definitely wants to do it,' say insiders Posted: October 21, 2004 WASHINGTON – Bill Clinton as secretary-general of the United Nations? It has been talked about in U.N. circles and among the former president's insiders for more than two years. And now, according to a United Press International report, Clinton "definitely wants to do it." The term of Kofi Annan, the current U.N. secretary-general, ends in 2006, and, according to the report, Clinton's candidacy would receive overwhelming support from U.N. member states, particularly in the Third World. "He definitely wants to do it," a Clinton insider is quoted as saying. But Clinton faces an unusual predicament – and potential obstacle – in his quest: Can he get the support of the U.S. government to take on the assignment? U.N. boosters think Clinton as secretary-general would bolster the prestige of the world body. No American has ever been U.N. secretary-general even though the United States serves as host country and the major contributor to its budget. "Critics of the U.N. complain that it's an organization without the muscle and will to put its decisions into effect," a U.N. source told UPI. "There's a good chance that Clinton could significantly change that situation, and then we'll see if the critics mean what they say." This is not the first time Clinton's interest in the job has been raised. Back in February of 2003 there were reports of a "major international move" to engineer Clinton into the post. Those reports suggested Clinton had already lined up support for his candidacy for the secretary-general position from Germany, France, England, Ireland, New Zealand, a handful of African states, Morocco and Egypt. There were also suggestions that Annan might resign before the end of his term in 2006. Annan took over as U.N. chief in 1997. On the record, he has said he intends to fill out his entire term. Clinton's fund-raising prowess is viewed in some quarters as a real incentive for the U.N. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41038
hahahha this is lame even for you most? so the city of Philly has 50-60,000 city workers and every one of them attended the rally?
I hereby commit to somehow, somewhere dropping that line in a conversation before the week's done Because...my boy, sure is.....wicked smaht!
Kerry will be running for re-election then (simple arithmetics). The junior senator from New York will probably run in 2012 at the earliest.
He shouldn't be kissing that old bag. We need a pic of when he got to the hottie in the upper right hand corner! Clinton as Sec Gen of the UN would be freakin awesome.
Could you at least back this up with something, anything? Also, just what are you trying to say about people who work for the city?
If Bush wins they might be especially receptive, since Clinton would be seen as a counterbalance with a power base within the US.
