George H.W. Bush Says He Did Not Agree to Diplomatic Mission With Bill Clinton
Nope, wouldn’t be prudent.
Former President George H.W. Bush is taking issue with statements made by Bill Clinton Monday that the duo would embark on a mission of diplomacy around the world if his wife is elected president.
Clinton reportedly made the statements in South Carolina, saying he and Bush would spread the message that “America is open for business and cooperation again,” implying that the former president would need to swoop in to repair diplomatic damage wrought by his son.

But George H.W. Bush’s Chief of Staff Jean Becker released a statement Tuesday saying he and Clinton have made no such plans - even though the two have grown close through charity work since their 1992 presidential election match up.
“Former President Bush wholeheartedly supports the president of the United States, including his foreign policy. He has never discussed an ‘around -the-world mission’ with either former President Bill Clinton or Sen. Clinton, nor does he think such a mission is warranted since he is proud of the role America continues to play around the world as the beacon of home for freedom and democracy,” Becker said. “President Bush is excited about several of the excellent Republican candidates running for President, and looks forward to supporting their candidacy once the Republican nominee is determined.”
Clinton’s comments were just his latest candid assessment of Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
In an interview with Charlie Rose on PBS Friday, Clinton played down expectations for his wife’s performance in the Iowa caucuses, saying it is a “miracle” she even has a chance in that state.
He also criticized rival Barack Obama as being too inexperienced to run for president and said voters would be taking a risk with him in the White House.
50% of the country says that they will NEVER vote for Hillary Clinton, under any circumstances. How does America work with a person like that? Perhaps it is time for change. JT D., Fargo, ND
FORMER PRESIDENT CLINTON NEEDS TO KEEP HIS BIG NOSE OUT OF EVERYBODYS BUSINESS.
THATS WHY WE DO NOT NEED MRS. CLINTON IN OFFICE, WE WILL JUST HAVE 4 MORE YEARS OF BILL INSTEAD.
Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham, or it Rodham-Clinton, or is it just Clinton this week, need to go back to Arkansas, or is it New York this week. They will both say whatever they feel they need to say to get whatever they want. So is anyone so surprised Bill got caught lying agin?
Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham, or is it Rodham-Clinton, or is it just Clinton this week, need to go back to Arkansas, or is it New York this week! They will say whatever they want to get what they want. Another lie from Bill, why is anyone surprised.
I love how the Dems point to the “GOP smear machine.”
Just look at how the Clintons “leak” about Obama’s early drug use, his Muslim parents & how it would be a “roll of the dice” to nominate him.
The Clintoons are the undisputed kings of smear.
I agree with slick willy on one thing–obama does lack the necessary experience to be president. in fact, the only candidate i can think of with less experience is slick hilly.
Senator Clinton Has experience? What is it?

The Clintons are so caught up in lies and deceit that they no longer know what is real. As for Mrs. Clinton’s alleged experience, I have begun referring to her as the Potemkin Candidate.
Shut up Bill!!
