Bill Clinton, After a Year of Restraint, Unleashes an Impassioned Self-Defense
Keywords:
Tags:
Bill Clinton, says about his foundation, in talking to voters in Detroit- " all we have done is save lives. If creating jobs and saving lives is bad, I guess you can zing me with it." He told another crowd in Durham, N.C, that he was tickled by Trump's comment that the Clinton Foundation was a "criminal enterprise." The criticism of the foundation hurts Mr. Clinton because of the lifesaving work it has done for AIDS, malaria and saving lives. The Clinton Foundation made the error of taking donations from overseas in the zeal for donations, which gave some critics an opportunity to smear the foundation. Another error was not to strictly separate the work of Bill Clinton from Hillary's work at the State Department. Even though in its activities it has been exceptional in its work. In poor countries like Haiti it has helped people overcome poverty. On one achievement alone the Foundation's work is exceptional- bringing HIV/AIDS medication at affordable prices to 11.5 million people in 70 countries. It has also worked to reduce obesity among American school children, and improved lives through its health initiative, including lives of farmers in African countries. George W. Bush did exceptional work in Africa for AIDS/HIV. Clinton's activities continue an American tradition of helping people in Africa's poorest regions. In this case the funds raised aggressively by Bill Clinton during speeches, were used to save lives or improve lives. This has been lost in the criticism of the Clinton foundation, as if the good work done by George W. Bush for AIDS in Africa can ever be fairly diminished in the slightest way by criticism of the Bush family.

Questions about the narrative about Hillary Clinton's honesty- not a natural politician like Bill Clinton, some gaffes, but no less honest than Bill
04/23/2016
The gaffes Benghazi, using a personal email server as Secretary of State, being labeled by Sanders as a shifty "progressive," speeches at Wall Street firm Goldman Sachs. Benghazi and Libya described by Obama as his biggest mistake, Clinton struggling to push back with Panetta, and Gen. Keane and Jones against Obama's policy error. The personal email server an error that did not compromise national security. An old progressive in the style of Bill Clinton, but focussed on getting things done and reaching accomodation to do this. Wall Street connections now rightly seen as letting lobbyists influence policy, yet unlikely to influence policy just as Heidi Cruz's work as a director of Goldman is less likely to influence Ted Cruz's policies. The campaign financing are part of politics that determines U.S. elections, and the U.S. campaign financing needs to learn from the British system that extends from the parliamentary elections to the referendum on membership in the European Union. The gap with young women voters more a result of young women having less experience with the discrimination issues of an older generation of women, according to Pew Trust surveys.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
