Interview With Hillary Clinton: Bill's Role If She's President
From the Hotline's interview with Sen. Hillary Clinton
Hotline: Do you think you have to tell voters what role the former president will play in your administration?
Clinton: Well, I've said that he will certainly be called upon for the kind of tasks that former presidents have performed. I've been very proud of the work he's done with former president Bush. In fact, I think that in many ways, the work they did on the tsunami is one of the few bright spots in American foreign policy in the last several years. Respect and gratitude for America in places like Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim nation, increased dramatically because former President Bush and Bill presented America at its best. I believe, that, just as presidents call upon former presidents I intend to do that.
So -- America's roving ambassador?
I don't have any specific assignments in mind right now, but as a matter of historical precedence, there's a lot of ample examples of how former presidents have been called into service for their country.
