JERUSALEM (AP) - Former President Clinton said in an interview Friday that he believes his wife would do a better job than he did in the nation's highest office.
New York Sen. Hillary Clinton has not said whether she plans to run in 2008. Nonetheless, her husband told Israel's Channel Two television that her experience as first lady would help make her a strong president.
"In some ways she would be (better) because of what we did together," he said from New York. "First, she has the Senate experience I didn't have. Second, she would have had the eight years in the White House."
"I think she wouldn't make as many mistakes because, you know, we're older and more mature, and she is far more experienced now in all the relevant ways than I was when I took office," he added. "So I think in a way she has the best of both worlds."
Bill Clinton was interviewed on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. He is expected in Israel later this week for the Rabin memorials.
Hillary Clinton, who is running for re-election to the Senate next year, has refused to rule out a run for the next presidency, saying she is concentrating on her current office. Polls indicate that if she runs for president, she would be the favorite for the Democratic nomination.
HURL......
Well, there goes my lunch.
Than what, a wildebeest?
From the sound of it, she has already had 8 years running the WH and now wants 8 more.
Atleast she wont be doing the hired help (unless she's really cute)
This should be a BARF alert!
my cat would do a better job in office than he did cause he knows how to "clean up"
Doogle
WOW! The Beast even has FBI files on Bubba!
Hell, doing a better job than Clinton, the biggest do-nothing president in US history, wouldn't be hard and certainly isn't a statement of great praise since my 9 year old nephew could have done a better job than this utter credit stealing fraud.
Bill, I don't know how to break it to ya, but a trained squirrel could be a better President than you were. Stop believing your press!
What? A better treasonist? A better liar? A better impeachable reprobate? A better crook? A better adulterer? A better socialist?
Better?
Given that, for all intents and purposes, from 1993 to 2001 she WAS President I think we know the job she'd do.
"...his wife would do a better job..."
Depends on what he means by "job". Maybe he was thinking of Monica...
Wouldn't you give anything to see what Hillary has in her FBI files on Bubba?
Well that's not setting the yardstick very high. My aunt's parakeet would make a better president than Klintoon.
"Clinton Says His Wife Would Make a Better President..."
...of a leachate filled pit secluded away in the middle of a festering landfill.
