BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair.

His charm and personality were such that you couldn't say no so whether he was down charming Bill Clinton or John Rowland he had a way of just endearing himself to politicians on both sides of the aisle. You wanted to see him be successful. You wanted to work with him. There's a great old quote. Its amazing what one can accomplish if one is willing to share the credit 
Things aren't looking good for Hillary. Like a lot of women in Washington, I think she's just starting to realize she may have slept with Bill Clinton for nothing.

the new [Obama] administration will have to be tough [on Israel] ... much tougher than either Bill Clinton or George W. Bush, if it is serious about Arab-Israeli peacemaking.
The friction, if there is any, is between Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, who are known to not like each other at all
Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not.
Unfortunately, George Bush, though a good man who did restore personal decency to the Oval Office after the squalor of Bill Clinton, never learned Truman’s maxim.
Democratic officials said Mr. Obama had selected Mr. Panetta for his managerial skills, his bipartisan standing, and the foreign policy and budget experience he gained under President Bill Clinton. Mr. Panetta has himself been a sharp critic of the agency’s interrogation practices.
Yet Panetta, who also served as director of President Bill Clinton's Office of Management and Budget, has no institutional memory of the intelligence agency and no hands-on experience with its thorniest challenges, including the collection of human intelligence overseas ... His lack of experience drew immediate questions, most notably from Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the incoming chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, who said she was not briefed on his selection and learned about it from news accounts.
They use this word 'tainted' like it has a legal definition. There's nothing there ... When Bill Clinton was impeached, he was still President of the United States. No matter how awful Blagojevich's reputation and his popularity, he's still the governor.
