With a Vengeance
President Bill Clinton is making the rounds to discuss his Global Initiative, which focuses on 4 subjects: global warming, alleviation of poverty, global health and religious and racial reconciliation. His interview on the Daily Show (above) is delightful. See also this NPR interview Clinton Weighs In on Detainees, Iraq and Iran.
However, his interview with Chris Wallace of Fox got sidetracked from the topic, when Wallace instead asked Clinton why he didn’t do more to capture or kill Osama bin Laden while he was in office. Clinton clearly thought that he had been set up and he did not hold back in telling Wallace just how he felt. See the Fox interview at OneGoodMove: Part I and Part II.
The Clinton /Fox News interview (including transcript) is also available at Crooks & Liars.
In a number of these interviews, Clinton has been asked about the difference between what can be done as President vs. being a former President. One big difference that he doesn't mention is that he feels free to speak his mind. You go, Bill!
