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."

Hmmmm. I could get into that, too...
(Bein' the ambassador to VS, that is. Not the clothes themselves. Though they do have some nice silk boxers...)

“the clinton doctrine:
the rest of the world first
america second”
One little correction:
The Clinton Doctrine:
The Clintons first
the rest of the world second
america third
ANOTHER reason NOT to elect this vapid woman
Beat me to it. Should read to the end of the thread first.
After she’s elected, she won’t need him anymore. Arkancide is too risky, so her best bet is to get him out of the country.
A roaming ambassador? What is he called now? He’s been roaming since Arkansas. A fair number of women will attest to this.
I'm telling you, people who will not vote to keep this woman out of office are a danger to this country.
Whatever floats your boat.
And if you do get a chance to fondle, let me know. Might be worth a try... though I'm told they're "Lovely to look at, delightful to hold, but you'll get more intelligent conversation from a box of hammers".
What? Ambassador to the International Porn industry? Ambassador to Bangkok, Thailand? What?
Hil reportedly said “I can’t think of a better ambassador, can you?” Bil’s actually perfect for the hate-America-first crowd, but not for the rest of us.
She forgot to mention the cash he’d haul in for the secrets he could sell to our enemies.
Ill bet he is Ambassador to England..
Beginning at puberty!
Beginning at puberty!
At this point? Hillary has only EVER cared about power, or else she would have left him long ago.
two of em bought traps to catch the chicken of the sea.
Sheesh - did it again! Today has been my day for double posts; sorry about that :-(
The country may be ready for a woman or a black as president or VP, but I don't think the country is ready for a woman AND a black.
In the meantime, Fred is playing his cards exactly right - can't wait until he announces. Hillary's head is going to explode.
Oh..yeah, he and Tony Blair can go out and drink together.
Tony won’t be employed then either.
