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."

If she keeps using him in her speeches like that....she is going to KEEP reminding people of his nasty, pervert past.
The countries that Bubba is the most popular in, are not necessarily countries that are friends of America.
She’ll make him a ROAMING ambassador. At least she’s sticking with his experience.
Reminds me of a phrase about roman (roamin’) hands and rushin’ (russian) fingers.
Would he be visiting those countries that paid him huge fees for speeches, interviews, and business intercessions, etc. (such as the UAE)? And how would he relate to the interests of those countries, vis-a-vis the US? Hasn’t there been enough scandal with regard to campaign contributions from the Chinese government to the Democrat National Committee during his tenure?
Clintonistas in the White House would be a violation of the spirit of Amendment XXII
Bill Clinton Ambassador ? Ambassador to what ?
Victoria’s Secret ?
I honestly don’t think that either of your points (both valid) are in Her Heinous’s mindset.
Is the woman that darned tone-deaf? Actually, it seems so.
Lookout Bangkok, here comes Bill!
the clinton doctrine:
Bill and Hill first
the rest of the world second
america last
It would keep him out of the house, and for the most part, out of the country...
Much like FDR sent Eleanor everywhere to get HER out of the house and to some extent, out of the country.
And face it, the “Shan” (previously known as the “Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001”) would be probably as much of an embarrassment to America as Jimmy Carter has been for some twenty years, a character trait that would find favor with MANY of the Dem’crat sympathies.
Some people would see this as a win-win. I am just not one of them.
Yeah, sure...Ambassador to the Cat House.....how uniquely qualified.
Mr Bill would make a wonderful Anti-ChristHe has been indwelled by the Evil One for Years.
He can certainly tell the Lie of the Evil One.
People will believe him.
She had it almost right. Bill wants to roam the world chasing cheerleaders.
She really means Bill will be ‘a Bastard’ not Ambassador.
A rapist with diplomatic immunity.
isn’t that the u.n. code of ethics?
