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.

"So I think in a way she has the best of both worlds."

Yep- enjoys Jewish support while advocating Jerusalem as the Palistine capitol.

Well, she could accomplish that and still be one of the worst presidents of all time, Bill.

...a better bridge abutment.

he MSM are like sharks out for blood

That is precisely why the administration should have a better PR team and spokespeople. Playing nicey hasn't worked for 6 years; and it isn't going to work for the remainder. The public persona of the administration is no better than the spokesperson who represents that administration's persona.

Wouldn't take much effort, Sparky.

[Theresawithanh]

But would it actually do any good with the current mood and actions of most of the MSM? Picture this...

"President Bush defends his failed policies..."

"President Bush defines his vision of the war on terror, echoing his election campaign where he used fear to garner votes..."

Whatever this administration does, it will get turned around. Count on it.

Dear BJ:

A sentence fragment does not a statement make.

Better than what?

Better than who?

President of what?

Maybe he was misquoted. What he really said was "You better make my wife President."

[jimwe]

He doesn't believe it. He just wants to interview the interns again.

[Fitzcarraldo]

Move to the back of the bus, Bill...

[RightWhale]

Sounds like some backhanded compliments going on here.

Not saying much at all. Multiply ZERO by any number, you still get zero! No matter how big a number it is.

[rollo tomasi]

My last bowl movement would make a better President than both Clintons or any other democrat collectivist.

[rollo tomasi]

Make that "my last bowel movement"...

Crap is more honorable than Bill and Hillary.

[ridesthemiles]

I would have done a better job as President, and I only have a HS education, plus Accounting classes in the local college.
Most of the Freepers here would and could do a better job that the "Philanderer In Chief", who never seemed to know what constituted SEX.

I haven't read anything but the headline and I say he's right! But then my wife's striped terrior would make a better president than he was.

From the Hillary 2008 campaign, the theme song:

Six, six, six!
The Number of the Beast!
Six, six, six!
The one for you and me!

I must check the El Al fares again.

I would have expected him to recommend Monica would make a better "head" of State than Hillary.

Man, I just ate and now my stomach is churning. Got to blame myself for looking. Title did give it away.

No one ever listened or...cared what the peanut said.
