Clinton says husband would be ambassador
By MIKE GLOVER, Associated Press Writer1 hour, 8 minutes ago
Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday that if she is elected president, she would make her husband a roaming ambassador to the world, using his skills to repair the nation's tattered image abroad.
"I can't think of a better cheerleader for America than Bill Clinton, can you?" the Democratic senator from New York asked a crowd jammed into a junior high school gymnasium. "He has said he would do anything I asked him to do. I would put him to work."
Clinton spoke at a town hall-style meeting Saturday where she took questions from about 200 people. When asked what role the former president would play in her administration, she left no doubt it would be an important one.
"I'm very lucky that my husband has been so experienced in all of these areas," said Clinton, who pointed to the diplomatic assignments her husband has carried out since leaving office, such as raising money for tsunami victims.
Although former president Clinton was impeached after an affair with a White House intern, he remains a very popular figure in much of the world and is considered an effective diplomat.
That's precisely what America needs in the wake of a war in Iraq that's left America isolated and hated throughout much of the world, Hillary Clinton said.
"I believe in using former presidents, particularly what my husband has done, to really get people around the world feeling better about our country," she said. "We're going to need that. Right now they're rooting against us and they need to root for us."

Oh pleeeezzzzz. She is just lying through her teeth.
A desperation move on her part. She knows that she’s not liked (negatives very high), so her move is to position herself as a proxy for hubby Bill, who is liked (but not by me).
Your comment is priceless and just about all that needs to be said. Thanks for the smile.
lock up your daughters
Sure. Every leftist in the World already kisses his ass.
No. U.S. Consul General at Tijuana. Trust me. Plenty of booze, plenty of cigars, and a multicultural multitude of young women. The biggest problem will be keeping him safe in the Zona Norte “nightclubs”.
Oh yeah, right. More like just to keep him out of the White House. Wouldn't want him getting the idea that HE's gonna run the place again, now would she?
From your keyboard to God’s ears. I’d love to see a Thompson(Fred, NOT Tommy)-Hunter ticket. Duncan’s military connection would be a definite advantage, as well as the geographic balance.
Heaven help us!
Wasn't it a perjury trap?
What underlying crime was Ken Starr questioning Clinton about when he lied?
Yeah, she'll use former presidents, but only those with a D behind their names. As for THEM rooting for us, and assuming that x42 could make that happen, how many attacks were there against us by Islamic militants when he was President? I remember at least 5; the Khobar towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, the 2 embassies in Africa, the attack on the USS Cole, and the 1993 WTC attack. Doesn't sound like they were very enamored of him, does it?
LOL! Keep him out of the country.....please!
“He would do anything I asked him to do” Hillary said.
——yes but would YOU do anything HE asked you to do?, Hillary, even for , uh....”old time’s sake?”.
And as they would say in the Thirty Years’ War when troops appeared, “Hide your daughters!”
But don’t ever allow him to sit in on a Cabinet meeting.
I really don't care what the rest of the world thinks about America. We're the United States of America... let all the whiners eat cake.
Mrs. Hildabeast wants to go back to the "feel good" days of eatin' pizza in the Oval Office, sex-action in the side-room, pretending to care about all the little peoples (ie, when she used that fake Southern accent while representin' in Selma), etc.
I hope she loses the Electoral College vote by 50%+1... it will be fun to watch, see, and hear the dims squealing like a bunch of stuck pigs... again.
passing you the duct tape...
She’s still trying to ride on Billy Blythe’s coattails. What a forceful female!
