I'm no math wizard, so take this with a grain of salt.

If there are a billion people go to bed hungry every night; a billion people have no access to clean water; 130 million don’t go to school at all;

Does that mean that of those billion people that go to bed hungry and have no access to clean water 870,000,000 still get up and go to school in the morning?

Sounds a bit far fetched to me but then everything that clintoon says is far fetched and idiotic.

If all those children aren't drinking water, what are they drinking. They are obviously still alive so they have to be drinking something.

If this and the bit about children never drinking water were true, wouldn't entire continents be completely devoid of human life? I haven't seen any shortage of people in Africa, Asia, the Middle East or, for that matter, anywhere in the world. Of course, Clinton's words are dutifully reported by the sycophants, and never questioned.

I understand what he is saying, but typical for him, in his efforts to be a drama queen, he takes away from what's important.

I'm sure there are that many that go hungry and go thirsty. All you have to do is look and how successful post-colonial Africa has been to understand hunger and extreme poverty. What Clinton won't admit is that nearly all of that suffering is due to communist, marxist, socialist regimes that have starved their people while they live high on the hog.
