Clinton to be America's "ambassador" if Hillary elected

I think no matter who wins the next election, Bill Clinton would be the right person for this job. Just two days ago in a business meeting here in Paris with an Italian businessman, the conversation went the way these conversations always seem to go and I was asked why Bush was "so stupid" and could America vote for Bill Clinton again? "In Italy, he's loved by everyone" I was told (again) but I hear the same basic conversation no matter where I am in Europe, Asia and a month ago in Egypt.

I only hope that this country survives until January '09, when we'll at least have a chance of returning to the country that we once were.
