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."

That's the red herring.
I can just see them blowing around the globe
I think at this point Hillary really doesn’t care anymore who Bill does, all she cares about is power.
Oh, he'll be roaming alright. No doubt about that.
My Husband??????? How come you two are never together. Your marriage is a joke and a sham and a disgrace to couples who truly love each other like Dubya and Laura. You are just trying to get votes from those who like your HUSBAND. What a selfless person you are hilllereeee. Anyway, who cares about you and your old man willie. There are more important things in this world that deserve our attention and right now they are the families and victims of VT and the Navy Angel that just went down. Go away hilleree...you are irrelevant.
But he is the only one who can win the war on terror!! Oh, wait, that is Rudy! I always get those two mixed up!!:)
Party time for Bill all around the world and best of all it will all be on the taxpayers dime.
No Thanks!
A rapist with diplomatic immunity. Cool....
A beer?
Take more then that to cool ol sarge down.
OMG! Must....control....self....head...about...to....explode!
I was betting on the UN.
“Roaming Ambassador”?
He is already roaming! But I can’t imagine Bubba would take a pay cut from his current speaking fee to be an “ambassador”. Unless maybe Hillary gave him Air Force Two and a bevy of blonde flight attendants.
People remember plenty about what your husband did, witch.
"We're going to need that. Right now they're rooting against us and they need to root for us."
She sounds like she's talking to a first grade class and in her mind the entire country is no brighter than that.
Barfer ping
he’ll get around
Anything to get him out of the house.
Not a bad idea. Keep him out of trouble and out of her hair while turning loose a gifted politician with a lot of friends around the world to be our cheerleader.
L0L yup! he’s hoppin mad!
Bingo gator. You have a winner.
Mrs. Clinton is much scarier then is Bill, he wants adulation, she wants power.
He wants to have females toot his winkie,
She wants to rule the world.
Or this one:
Travelin’ Man
I’m a travelin’ man and I’ve made a lotta stops all over the world
And in every port I own the heart of at least one lovely girl
I’ve a pretty senorita waitin’ for me down in old Mexico
And if you’re ever in Alaska stop and see my cute little Eskimo
Oh my sweet fraulien down in Berlin town makes my heart start to yearn
And my China doll down in old Hong Kong waits for my return
Pretty Polynesian baby over the sea I remember the night
When we walked in the sands of Waikiki and I held you oh so tight
Oh, I’m a travelin’ man
Yes, I’m a travelin’ man
Yes, I’m a travelin’ man
Woe, I’m a travelin’ man
