NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Bill Clinton is "The Most Influential Man in the World," according to Esquire magazine.
The magazine has designated him as "the most powerful agent of change in the world" despite his lack of electoral standing and the fact he was laid low by a heart attack ahead of last year's presidential election.
The magazine highlights Clinton's accomplishments in its December issue, which goes on newsstands on Thursday, profiling the world's "Best and Brightest" men and women.
Since leaving office, Clinton has been so active that his post-presidency amounts to "a third term" for the Democrat who held the White House from 1992 to 2000, the magazine said. He has tackled global issues from AIDS, poverty and global warming to the recovery from last December's Indian Ocean tsunami.
Esquire editor David Granger argued that Clinton was poised to become "something like a president of the world or at least a president of the world's non-governmental organizations."
But it will mean giving up a leadership role in the Democratic party or pushing the political career of his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, seen as a 2008 White House contender.
In the article, Clinton said that he remained loyal to his party, adding: "I'm not the leader of the opposition anymore."
This is an early little pro Clinton puddish bomb. The Clinton/Commie media will soon ratchet up the stakes and wage an all out war to win over the White House & Congress.
You are so right. This influential man garbage will be repeated over and over until it becomes a fact to the electorate.
I have gotten them for the past two nights. I really dont know what they mean.

this is a link to the cover. Looks like his tanning gel didnt make it to his hairline. I was trying to imagine how he would look without the tanning gel and I must say that he looks awful.
72 is relative to me

Completely consistent with known facts.
And as you probably know, it's pure stupidity to use such phrases in reference to a Secret Service protectee. Put such a phrase in a letter and send it to Clinton, then tell me if you get a visit from any interesting people.
Do you joke about bombs at the airport, too?
