Clinton set such a great example for his daughter. He taught her women can be used as whores and as president he will do as he pleases because he can.

Top of the Pops: Bill Clinton named father of the year Mon, Jun 10 2013
By Francesca Trianni
NEW YORK, June 10 (Reuters) - He's been commander in chief, Time magazine's 1993 man of the year, had hopes of becoming "First Laddie" of the United States and now former U.S. President Bill Clinton is in line for a new title - Father of the Year.
The non-profit National Father's Day Council plans to award him that honor at a New York fundraiser for Save the Children on Tuesday.
Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, was just 12 years old when the family moved into the White House and Bill Clinton and wife former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton worked to keep her out of the limelight.
One of the most iconic images of the family to come out of that period was when the three were photographed, walking hand in hand across the White House lawn to a waiting helicopter shortly after the news broke of Bill Clinton's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. That scandal lead to Clinton's impeachment for perjury.
Chelsea Clinton, now 33 and a special correspondent for NBC News, said on Twitter "I completely agree!!!" when the award was first made public in January.
The National Father's Day Council cited Clinton's philanthropy work through the William J. Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative, both started after he left the White House in 2001.
In addition to his charity work, Bill Clinton appeared on the campaign trail in 2008 when Hillary Clinton ran for president, joking that if she was elected his honorific title could be "First Laddie."

Eyew...didn’t think of it that way, but I can see the articles already.
Yuck.
The question is:
How many chilluns does he have?...........
Clinton set such a great example for his daughter. He taught her women can be used as whores and as president he will do as he pleases because he can.
For which child?
I certainly would not give Bill Clinton the Father of the Year Award, but I live in the Mid South and have followed the Cliton’s antics for close to 35 years. Bill was the one that spent time with his daughter, taking her to school and birthday parties. He was actually a good father when he wasn’t cheating on her mom.
Most of those awards are just liberals rewarding other liberals for their great contributions to liberalism.
BJ Clinton the liar?
Why not Husband of the year ?
Did they poll Bernard Lewinsky?
Real fathers are faithful to a child’s mother...
Oh hog wash he was trolling for other kids Moms
Post of the day
Wasn’t there anyone more deserving? Like some guy who didn’t cheat on the mother of his child?
When is he going to get 'Baby-Daddy of the Year'?
You forgot the most obvious award for Clinton.
"Celibate of the Century"
(he just barely beat Wilt Chamberlain and Hugh Hefner)
Now THAT is evidence for corruption in the IRS Non-Profit Exemption section!
Excellent analysis!
Looking at their past awards winners, it appears they select several with high name recognition, plus a few ordinary Joes and an occasional, "Aw, he's a really great guy" serviceman, fireman, etc.
"The National Father’s Day Committee, an entity of the Father’s Day/Mother’s Day Council, each year confers Father of the Year Honors on contemporary lifestyle leaders of our culture whose lives are dedicated to family, citizenship, charity, civility, responsibility and reverence.
