Bill Clinton said former president George H.W. Bush will help fix damage done to America's reputation by his son, George W. Bush.

ORANGEBURG, South Carolina (CNN) – Former President Bill Clinton said Monday that the first thing his wife Hillary will do when she reaches the White House is dispatch him and his predecessor, President George H.W. Bush, on an around-the-world mission to repair the damage done to America's reputation by the current president — Bush's son, George W. Bush.

"Well, the first thing she intends to do, because you can do this without passing a bill, the first thing she intends to do is to send me and former President Bush and a number of other people around the world to tell them that America is open for business and cooperation again," Clinton said in response to a question from a supporter about what his wife's "number one priority" would be as president.

A spokesman for the George H. W. Bush said Tuesday afternoon the former president supports his son's foreign policy and has "never discussed an ‘around-the-world-mission’ with either former President Bill Clinton or Sen. Clinton." (Click here for the full statement)

Clinton and the elder Bush, rivals in the 1992 presidential election, have grown chummy in recent years, often traveling and appearing at public events together. In 2005, they started a charity to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.

UPDATE: The Republican National Committee issued this statement in response to Clinton's comments:

"In 2009, a Republican president will be working with our friends and allies abroad to continue to keep our nation safe," said RNC spokesman Danny Diaz. "The American people expect our leaders — both current and former — to present serious solutions to the very real challenges confronting our nation."

Clinton's ineptitude allowed radical Islamicfascism to rise under his watch. Bill should think twice when he accuses Bush of damaging the USA's reputation. Safety from Global Terrorism is far more important than a country's reputation.

Banko   December 17th, 2007 8:14 pm ET

That is why the people are tired of the Clintons and Bushes. We need something new.

Mrs. America   December 17th, 2007 8:16 pm ET

Excellent. Just keep son George out of it!

CensoredByCNN, Roxboro, NC   December 17th, 2007 8:23 pm ET

Yes, they started a charity for Katrina victims because they wanted to characterize those folks as needful of charity. And,,because the federal govt under G W Bush failed to do what was expected of the Govt to do in times of emergency.

Jesse, Burnsville, MN   December 17th, 2007 8:26 pm ET

To me, it makes me a bit nervous that the Bushes and Clintons are getting so comfortable.

Does this seem right?:

1988=BUSH
1992=CLINTON
1996=CLINTON
2000=BUSH
2004=BUSH
2008=CLINTON
2012=CLINTON

Come on people. This is rediculous. You can't have change if you keep trying to vote the same people in. BTW, Hillary is more like Bush than Bill (Pro-War, Pro-Corporation)

Obama/Edwards or Edwards/Obama '08

Paul, Ohio   December 17th, 2007 8:26 pm ET

I think the last thing we need is for a Bush to further be seen as the face of America.

Ca Native   December 17th, 2007 8:27 pm ET

I'm not a conspiracy theorists - but comments like this from Bill Clinton make me really wonder… Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton…

GH-Bush has been very protective of his son, our President. What makes Bill Clinton think Bush-41 won't come out publically to denounce his statement?

Bill Clinton has been doing some pretty odd things for being a "consumate" politician.

Marvene Bowles Florence, AL 35670   December 17th, 2007 8:28 pm ET

I leave our tv tuned to cnn all day. If the NEGATIVE remarks do not stop toward Hillary Clinton msnbc will need to be my choice. Why do ALL you select her as your choice to hurt. Are you opposed to females'in office???? do we females'have to unite & wage war against CNN??? Delve into Obama's negative back ground & report on his for a CHANGE of scenery & TOPIC

Nando, Florida   December 17th, 2007 8:32 pm ET

This Family has lost there Minds, This is whats happens kids when you sleep in seperate rooms, from your spouse

Walt, Belton, TX   December 17th, 2007 8:42 pm ET

She just wants to get Bill out of his favorite playground. He's still got a lot of viagra to use up.

Bringing the elder Bush along would be just a screen……….

TB, FL   December 17th, 2007 8:43 pm ET

Great…just what America needs!! Not one, but two buffons, and the father of a buffon! God help us all. You don't think George Sr. aided his son?? This is the kind of "old" stagnant politics we are talking about!!!

Anybody but Hillary 08

John Adkisson, Sacramento, California   December 17th, 2007 8:55 pm ET

That's what I call a "change agent." Let's go back not only to the 90's but also the 80's! Puhhlleeaase!

lynn, Vancouver, BC   December 17th, 2007 8:56 pm ET

As your neighbour, please no more divisive politics!! These two had their chance and are not as highly regarded by the rest of the world as Americans believe.

Everyone I know who is reading about your election with their fingers crossed that your election will result in someone who will unite your countrym and restore your credibilty as a world leader.

NoMoClintons   December 17th, 2007 8:59 pm ET

You just can't make this stuff up with this guy!

He not only slams "W" for " losin' " all credibility in the world (that's a real big yawn here …), but says that HE and HWB will fix that when Hillary is elected! He insults the son on his foreign policy, and expects the dad to pitch in and "fix it". Incredible. The chutzpah of this guy has no limits.

Ya know how you can get those other folks to "like us" (who really cares if they don't!) again, Slick … stop all Foreign Aid to them. They'll be on our doorstep in a heartbeat.

Rosie, NYC, NY   December 17th, 2007 9:00 pm ET

seriously.. Here is a guy who wants America to foot the bill because he cheated on his wife.

Folks, let's all cheat on our partners and promise them the Presidency as a consolation price when they threaten to leave us, and then make the American people pay for our lust by voting our partners in office.Ole Bill has figured the trick out….

It's all about money and power…

We can do better than Hillary   December 17th, 2007 9:03 pm ET

Sure. Sending someone out into the world whose name happens to be George Bush is such a good idea.

Bill Clinton has gone insane.

Hillary has run the nastiest campaign that I have ever seen.

I hope that America is paying close attention.

Chris San Francisco, CA   December 17th, 2007 9:03 pm ET

Clinton and Bush: partners in crime. Wake up America and keep both families out of the White House!

Gary, IN   December 17th, 2007 9:13 pm ET

Marvene -

Where do you see negative remarks about Hillary in this article? I don't see any misogyny here, so please save your outrage.

Danny Gonzalez, Boca Raton FL   December 17th, 2007 9:27 pm ET

First, I think the article clearly is trying to make much out of a simple comment, second I believe that it is good for former presidents to put forth to the world that they represent the face of the nation united with a sitting president. You mean to tell me that Obama wouldn't do something like this? some of your comments are borderline moronic. then again most of the hillary-haters have nothing else to offer. we need change that will unite this country, Obama is not talking about how to move forward with our system of government, he is talking about tearing it down, we had our founding fathers to thank for this great country and no 1 term senator is going to change it overnight. Sen. Obama is ignorant or chooses to ignore our way of government, the only reason why pres. Bush hasn't burned the country down is because checks and balances but when you listen to Obama you see the other side of the coin and it is not pretty either. I want to see a government that is serios about putting forth mechanisms that will ENABLE every day Americans pursue their own hapiness, I don't need a preacher in the white house, I see him every Sunday at Church already.

That's just beautiful…Daddy's going to go around the world and clean up the mess that Jr. made. A Disgrace.

Michelle D. - Atlanta, GA   December 17th, 2007 9:34 pm ET

Nice try Bill. You're a great diplomat and I admire that. But if you think "Senior" is going to piss of "Junior" by touring with Hillary, you're delusional. Maybe you've been inhaling?

John Bean, Orlando, Florida   December 17th, 2007 9:41 pm ET

AMEN! That's clever!

Chris Myers   December 17th, 2007 9:43 pm ET

Oh you have to love it. Hillary needs to show a softer side and parades out friends and tears up.

What's next Bill showing up, looking into the camera, making his chin quiver as he chokes up and says "I feel your pain".

Just what sort of fools for this lady?

Ky, Somerset NJ   December 17th, 2007 9:43 pm ET

The ugly truth is begining to gome out. We can clearly and truly see there are some elephants disguising as horses but their size gives them away!

I'm sure we Americans know better than to let the Bushes and Clintons blind fold us all and continue to take us for a ride. I told ya, the Clintons will roll on the floor, cry or weep (whichever seems appropriate) on demand to get votes.

What's bill demanding now? Is it for Bush Senior to endorse Hillary? It will be the greatest shame of all if we ever let a Bush or Clinton come close to residing in the White House again.

We have a population of more than 350 millions. I'll be the last person to think that we can't find smarter and more sincere people than the Bushes and the Clintons.

There is no 'sneakier' politician than the Clintons - especially Bill. This guy played us like a violin. Now the wife wants to play us like a fiddle.

Wake up America! Bring back the glorious days and vote Obama/Edwards '08.

Chris Myers, Buffalo NY   December 17th, 2007 9:45 pm ET

America is open for business Bill. Instead of illicit affairs this President is busy fighting a war on terror that you dropped the ball on.

All tis country would get from Clinton II in the white house is 4 more years of sleeze.

Gus T. Miami, FL   December 17th, 2007 9:50 pm ET

Can't wait to see George H.W. Bush slam him to the ground on this one. W has done an outstanding job in keeping us safe, kicking terrorist butt, lowering taxes, and maintaining a strong economy. I don't care what all you media influenced sheep think.

John Halverson DC   December 17th, 2007 10:05 pm ET

That is interesting. The first think Hillary wants to do when she gets to the White House is get rid of Bill? I wonder how long she will keep him out "campaigning" to the world? Maybe she is smarter then I thought.

64 Boomer, Va.   December 17th, 2007 10:17 pm ET

@ Jesse,

Obama/Edwards or Edwards/Obama '08

Yeah.., I'd go with that.

Tired of the good old boy elitist Democratic or Republican ideology. Time for a different approach to who we are as a great nation and how we interact with the rest of the world.

Seam, Philly, PA   December 17th, 2007 10:20 pm ET

Nice, we get an encore presidency of Bush-Clinton. So much for change.

Back to reality … nice try there Bill.

Josh, Kalamazoo Michigan   December 17th, 2007 10:30 pm ET

What a moron. He just attacked GHWB just so that Hillary would benefit, and then he claims GHWB and he will help undo what GWB did. You've got to be kidding me?!

Just say no to dynasty families. Its time they understand that isn't the way America is supposed to work.

Brian, Syracuse NY   December 17th, 2007 10:38 pm ET

Bill Clinton must've grown an extra chromosome, because there is no way George HW Bush will go out there and "undo the damage" caused by his son. He's already said in interviews how much it hurts him to hear people criticize G.W. I doubt he'd willingly expose himself to hear so much more of it around the world, even in the name of "saving face."

Bill Clinton might not realize this, but despite Bush 41s faults he actually values his family. I suppose emotions are foreign to political robots like Bill Clinton, who can't see love but only opportunity.

columbus, Olivette, MO   December 17th, 2007 10:54 pm ET

If Hillary is nominated, I will vote Republican in the General Election to save this Republic from dynastic rule! Is this the change that Hillary is talking about. If it is then it means real and fundamental change in this country. Dynasties will be the norm. Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, then Clinton, Clinton, followed by Jeb Bush, Jeb Bush, then Chelsea Clinton etc! I mean these people are joking!

Mike, Houston, TX   December 17th, 2007 10:58 pm ET

Message to the world. If Hillary is elected, Bill's coming for your wives and daughters.

WASHINGTON — Democratic voters increasingly are focused on nominating the most electable presidential candidate, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama fares better than New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton against prospective Republican rivals.

ohdave.net Dayton Ohio   December 17th, 2007 11:20 pm ET

Is she serious? Send a Bush out to repair America's reputation?

Seriously, Bill's messing with us, right?

Man, if they're serious, their judgement is more screwed up than I thought.

james   December 17th, 2007 11:30 pm ET

i get the feeling that the Bushs and Clintons are playing a giant game of good cop / bad cop with the american people. We know that America swings back and forth, the best way to keep control over a long time is to create an illusion that the Bushs and clintons are different so they can play the people against them….

as for the people who call us non clinton supporters "Hillary haters"

All I can say is: Look at her record…that is all I needed to not vote for her

Dave   December 17th, 2007 11:50 pm ET

Hey, TB from Florida-You might want to be able to spell buffoon, before you call someone that. Calling them a buffon really doesn't say much about your thought processes.

Jose Card   December 17th, 2007 11:52 pm ET

I think Bush Senior worked with Bill Clinton on good faith and good cause. He certainly did not expect Bill to insult him and his son the way he does in this statement. This just goes to tell you what kind of person Bill is. No shame!

Who is Bill to order Bush senior to work for his crying wife? The Clintons simply don't know shame. Perhaps Bill knows their days are numbered in politics and they want to drag down as many enemies as possible with them. He was using Bush senior for his return to the White House. Now he is throwing him out with the bath water. I bet you he cried a lot, too. Who is there to blame but themselves?

WS, Newport Beach, CA   December 18th, 2007 12:28 am ET

"You can't have a change if you vote the same people in." (in reference to bush-clinton-bush-clinton) … true. But the people doing that are the people who don't want a change. And it's their right to vote that way.

As far as everyone slandering Hillary, she's a huge target. 1) The front runner always takes the most heat. If you think it's bad now, just wait until next year. 2) She's a female. The first one to have a good shot at serving as our president. That worries a lot of people because it's a big change from what everyone is used to. Bad or good, refer to the above bush-clinton-bush-clinton series and people who may not want change. It applies to that concept as well.

All the candidates scare me.

Maha Calderon, San Diego, California   December 18th, 2007 12:54 am ET

If Obama were white, would he be getting all the attention?.. Would he even remotely qualify for anyone's vote? Would Oprah endorse him?..
If Hillary were a man, would there be ANY doubt she would be the next president? Why is it OK for Obama to speak at will against Hillary, yet Bill Clinton is crucified for pointing out the obvious, that Obama is NOT qualified, nor has the experience necessary to run this country.

Jim   December 18th, 2007 1:12 am ET

Ex-presidents should stay out of primary elections.

Kyle, Corvallis, OR   December 18th, 2007 1:12 am ET

Does not seem too outrageous but it goes to show how they actually work together. Clinton and Bush Sr. know darn well they are the worst and most power hungry presidents in US history next to the current.

Conservative guy, Sacramento, CA   December 18th, 2007 1:14 am ET

Yes, yes. We all need Bill Clinton to "repair our reputation abroad". It is doubtful that H.W. will participate in any such mission. Besides, Hillary will not have the chance to dispatch such a team when she is still a senator on January 20, 2009. Keep dreaming Dems!

Clinton looks more and more like WC Fields. He is a pathetic, self-absorbed crook. He and his hideous wife should go back to the hills of Arkansas. GHW Bush should immediately distance himself from this pig.

Stan, Old Bridge, NJ   December 18th, 2007 1:15 am ET

Myshkin   December 18th, 2007 1:15 am ET

Ever wonder why it's "Hillary '08″, not "Clinton '08″?
She will not be "President Hillary", you know. She will be (and who really wanted this exactly?) "President Clinton".
That so many people have fallen for this campaign ploy, forgetting that we'll have both "President Clinton and former President Clinton" in the White House, is a testament to the oblivion so many Americans inhabit.
Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton… But wait, no. It's Hillary, see? Sure. And look forward to headlines like, "President Hillary defends permanent American military bases in Iraq. Promises troop redeployment before re-election bid."

Common sense   December 18th, 2007 1:19 am ET

why don't they just do this. they don't need Hillary's help. If she isn't elected are they not going to go?

Jack Camp Verde AZ   December 18th, 2007 1:23 am ET

bill clinton is a lying perjurer and hillary won't be elected president because she is nothing but a crook. Thank God we have had George W Bush. the clintons can take their stolen money and move to china and the USA will be better off without them. WE THE People are taking back our country . Point your finger at me billy and it may go off stupid.

How is Hillary promising change if she is going to bring in George Bush Sr. as part of her team? Crazy logic.

That's the father of the worst president of all time — the father of the one we are trying to bring change from!

Enough Clinton, Enough Bush.

I am suddenly sooo for Obama.

Mark H Dayton OH   December 18th, 2007 1:27 am ET

All you libs on this site, its really sad. This is clearly just another BOOF from Bill. he will get slapped down tomorrow for it in the media and Mr HW Bush will expose this for the lie it is. Do you really think Mr. HW Bush would conspire with any Clinton on anything that would deface his own family?

Larry S.   December 18th, 2007 1:28 am ET

It appears that Bubba has finally inhaled! I think perhaps he's the reason for global warming, with all the hot air he's blowing.

sal lincoln nebraska   December 18th, 2007 1:34 am ET

George Sr spends all day talknig about the new world order and wishing he was back at bohemian grove…Clinton is in on the exact same things, its almost not worth typing out to express the stuff that people should have no excuse not to know atleast 3 years ago…George SR worked for the CIA what else do you need to know not to trust someone, the CIA is worse then the FBI and George was the head of it…Now Clinton is coming out and wanting to work with him, this is the kind of thing Bill gets off on…Should be a good indicator of what Hillary will bring, a corporate dictatorship…Bush's presidency is the traning ground, someone has to pick up where he left off

Jared Smith, Wilmington, DE   December 18th, 2007 1:37 am ET

What a disgraceful thing to say coming from a disgraced, impeached former president himself. It was George W. Bush who repaired America's reputation from 8 years of the US being a laughing stock because of the non-stop scandals and criminal empire emanating from the White House under Bill and Hillary Clinton. We are respected around the world - as evidenced by the fact there are growing free thinker countries out there like France, Germany and new europe. We are dissed by liberals around the world and that's all. Lets see how all those ungrateful guttersnipes act when we cut off their foreign aid. Then they'll change their tone. We feed and clothe the world and we are the leaders in green technology. The stuff they say about the US is slanderous!

Stash, Hoquiam, WA   December 18th, 2007 1:38 am ET

I think it is completely appropriate. Bill Clinton didn't hesitate when Bush the Younger called for his help after the tsunami and Katrina.

Bush the Elder would help if President Obama, or President Edwards, or President Kucinich, or President Hillary Clinton were to ask, as well.

Steve, Novato, Ca.   December 18th, 2007 1:47 am ET

Excuse me Jessie from Burnsville, but you do not think Bill Clinton was Pro-war or Pro-Corporation??

Let me remind you of the Kosovo war where today there is incredible unrest in the region with Muslims pouring into the country and establishing terrorist-camps. This war has solved less than the Iraq war, unless you believe that burning Serbian villages and destroying orthodox churches in the name of islam is a good thing.

Bill signed NAFTA, which was Corporate America's dream and labor America's nightmare.

I know we all want Bill to make us feel good but don't you think it is time we finally were honest about who he is?

Evan, Roseburg OR   December 18th, 2007 1:49 am ET

When will people realize that people criticizing Clinton are not doing it because of gender? I have a hard time believing anyone besides extreme fundamentalists would attack her because she's a woman. The only reason she's getting lots of negative attention is because she's a prominent figure and because she's doing things wrong. The only way people will leave her alone is if she stops doing things to attract peoples ire, such as lying.

Concerned Citizen   December 18th, 2007 1:53 am ET

BILL CLINTON is an American Criminal with a closet full of skeletons, corpses, drugs and diseases. Hillary is a closeted Lesbian or at least bisexual. Bill Clinton needs to go away and allow Americans to move this country forward without a Bush or a Clinton.

Willliam H Smith Malibu, CA   December 18th, 2007 1:58 am ET

marveyne its women like you who give democrats a bad name…cnn is a democrat run corp..if hilary was even a remotely decent candidate they would be backing her…its best you dont talk and let the other scamming dems with some knowledge of politics do the judging

Joe American Smith, Minneapolis, MN   December 18th, 2007 1:59 am ET

I agree totally with Jesse from Burnsville, MN. I'll take Edwards or Obama or even Ron Paul over the rest of these corporate schills. And especially no more Clintons or Bushes. It has nothing to do with gender. Let's PROGRESS out of this negative feedback loop we're caught in.

deroy WPB, FL   December 18th, 2007 2:03 am ET

'around the world to tell "THEM" that we are open for business and cooperation again'.

what does this mean?
it says nothing?

for saudis to attend flight schools.
to allow terrorists do set off explosives at the world trade center?
to allow massive number of more illegals to enter USA?
to have iraquis set off another okla city?
to allow iran and n. korea to do what they please.
to sell more defense secrets to chinese with bernard schwartz in charge.
to have more illegal funding of political campaigns which is against the law.

hey, charlie trie and john huang!

put madame albright in charge of bribery?

what does george "patrician" bush have to say?

Cathy, Groton, CT   December 18th, 2007 2:11 am ET

I am concerned that my teenagers will not know a president who is neither a Bush or a Clinton. Time for a change.
What does this say about our democracy?

Could Hillary , like G.W. really be the best choice out there? I am doubtful.

mike palmer, san francisco, ca   December 18th, 2007 2:15 am ET

More desperation to save that hag from poltical destruction. Has anyone noticed lately how France is cozing up. Germany mighty friendly as of late and England still there and African nation's never joined the choir because of Bush AID's help..who's still mad at us? ..The Balinese? Cuban's? or the frightful Somoans. I'll stick with the 50% that are still our friends. The other 505 ain't worth spit.

I knew BJ Clinton was sleazy but who knew this piece of white trash could go so low. How about this, Chief Rat, when the repubs keep the WH in 2009, we can send you to your donor friends in Saudi Arabia, where they can teach you what should be done with rapists and thieves.

We needed GW Bush to repair America after eight years of the Rapist Clinton, who bombed innocent people in Serbia and allowed al Qaeda to metastasize while he was busy raping America. No, we do not want him working to "restore" America - George W. Bush is doing that already. That is why the Dems are so frustrated - we are winning in Iraq!

Chris Illinois   December 18th, 2007 2:25 am ET

this guy is sick in the head. No decency.

Mark Billingsley   December 18th, 2007 2:29 am ET

Bill is losing touch with reality. Does he really think George H.W. will tour the world arm-in-arm with him telling the world what a f-up his on was and that "we're open for business again?" Of course not. Man, if I was Hillary I'd find a nice beach for my husband to sit on until after Feb. 5. He is hurting her. As an Obama supporter I'm loving it though. Actually, keep it up Bill…talk abut Obama's "madrassa" story a little bit more.

Lawrence - Lodi, NJ   December 18th, 2007 2:32 am ET

You read this story and begin to wonder why Obama is starting to hit his stride. Keep talking Bill, your doing your wife a "GREAT SERVICE".

lkm, twin falls, idaho   December 18th, 2007 2:34 am ET

Instead of reaching the easiest conclusions that people do not want a woman for president, I'd encourage you to look at what Hillary SAYS vs what Hillary DOES, because there is not enough congruency for me. Also I can't see how anyone can be comfortable with the big corporate bucks and believe that no favors will be expected–is that what we have seen in the past in politics? As far as this article: Are the Clintons TRYING to lose? You gotta be kidding me trotting this man around after the 8 years of hell we had. GHWB was elected only once for a reason. But please do this because Edwards and Obama will do better now, thank you.

John Smart, Los Angeles, California   December 18th, 2007 2:34 am ET

I look forward to the next President Clinton. Frankly being "sick of" the leaders we have does not change the leaders we have.
Obama is so unqualified it defies all sanity to consider him for the White House. As for the GOP - I see none that can take the reigns in this dangerous time. Clinton is the only person running who makes a lick of sense. And - hey - after centuries of men - it's time for a woman.

Danny Diaz, in 2009 you will be out of a job. The American people do not need another Republican president. You already did enough damage, we no longer wish to live in fear while our tax dollars go to feed your friends at businesses like Halliburton and Blackwater. Your war is coming to an end, your control of the American people by fear will end in 2009 with any one of the Democrats taking the lead in undoing your damage….just as Clinton describes. Wake up, because we the people are taking our country back!

Dude - this is wrong on SOOO many different levels. Open mouth and insert foot. She really needs him to stop speaking - now. Many posters have claimed that he wants her to loose and I can't say I disagree. If he cheats on her while she is in the White House, he is in more trouble than any guy in history. It looks more and more like the Bush / Clinton dynasty is finally over — to the benifit of We the People.

In what lifetime does this former disgraced president think he can restore our image? Isn't he still trying to rehabilitate his own tarnished image? President Bush's father is showing statesmanship by extending the courtesy to Bill Clinton. Mr. Clinton should not assume it will be extended to his wife particularly when she calls the president a liar and someone who misled the country. Mrs. Clinton won't win this election anyway, so Bill Clinton can fantasize all he wants. It's not going to happen.

David, Layton, Utah   December 18th, 2007 2:57 am ET

Translation: "Please like us, please, please, please! We will be appeasers! We'll give you hundreds of millions of dollars and look the other way when you undermine our country if you will just be our friends!"

Absolutely pathetic!

Any Democrat in the WH will open us up for terrorist attack, and weaken our sovranty!

Lindy, Houston Texas   December 18th, 2007 3:09 am ET

What an odd suggestion. Geo HW Bush working with a HRC presidency from the inception ? What will the DLC led democrats have to give in exchange? Triangulation at work here or just an effort to look bipartisan ?

I am reminded of the late, great, Molly Ivins' comment in 12/06 -

"I's like to make it clear to the people who run the Democatic Party that I will not support Hillary Clinton for president."

"Enough. Enough Triangulation, calculation and equivocation. Enough clever straddling. Enough not offending anyone."

I agree with Molly. It's time to support a democrat who is free from such "clever straddling".
Edwards 08

Matt, Phoenix AZ   December 18th, 2007 3:14 am ET

I never understood why people think Bill Clinton is some kind of political genius. He is very easy to read. He and Hillary are visibly dishonest people. People who support them must not have any street smarts.

bob   December 18th, 2007 3:15 am ET

So, this is Hillary's secret weapon in foreign diplomacy? I can't wait until Obama gets a chance to comment on this one.

Hillary, I have some advice for you. Send your hubby on some kind of mission to Africa or Bangladesh or where ever they need help for the next year. Have him do colorful photo ops with smiling faces and raise money for good causes.

And, if you can, find a way to shut him up. In case you haven't noticed, he's become your worst enemy.

S. Darby, Sand Springs, OK   December 18th, 2007 3:17 am ET

NO WAY! Enough of the bushes ~ all of them. The old man isn't much better than dubya. Skull & Bones and head of CIA and that's good? I had about decided I wouldn't vote for Hillary but now I pledge NOT to vote for her. I don't care if the democrats don't win if this is the best she can come up with. What crap.

Why would the first President Bush help the lying and corrupt Clintons?

Hillary is toast. She can't improve her already darkened image. She can't be elected and what kind of scandals of the day can we expect from her? More FBI files found? More firing of career employees who get in her way to help her financial supporters? More furniture stolen?

She is bad for America!

Bush has sold out to the Clintons and the left and we should be VERY afraid. George W has kept this country from being attacked again for almost 8 years,What is wrong with Bush senior? or is he just to old now, and Clinton is just to sick, these old guys should just shut up and play golf, (they don't even do THAT well. )

jane fallows, Ventura, CA   December 18th, 2007 3:50 am ET

I for one am sick and tired of all the Clinton bashing. It goes on, and on, and on. Give it up, people. Deal with the issues that confront the nation and who offers the best solutions. Stop personally defaming and demonizing those with whom you disagree politically.

If two former presidents can be drafted to help this country move forward, that's fine with me. More power to them.

And to CNN and other media - grow up. Stop fixating on haircuts and cleavage and how candidates laugh, or clap, or sigh. Examine and explain their proposals and policies, and how they would affect voters interests, if implemented.

Are there no adult journalists out there?

Larry Jay, Austin TX   December 18th, 2007 3:53 am ET

Susanne Philadelphia, PA   December 18th, 2007 3:56 am ET

Does President Clinton also plan to include/expand his "new" Diplomatic Club to include George W. Bush? What a shock it would be to have President George W Bush endorse Mrs. Clinton!

Johnbo   December 18th, 2007 4:06 am ET

Looks like one of the requirements for being a spokesman for the Republicans is to be able to spout nonesense with a straight face and to live in an eternal state of denial.

The sad fact is it's going to take years if not generations to repair the damage done by the most arrogant, incompetent, and criminal presidency in modern U.S. history. Clinton and Bush traveling together might be a small step but I wonder if ANYONE with the Bush name will be welcome in the world.

William, Chattanooga TN   December 18th, 2007 4:06 am ET

Wow! This has officially confirmed all my suspicions. The two political parties are one in the same. They are simply playing the people for fools. The political profession for them, is about the same as a pyramid scheme. It's almost like calling a psychic hotline. You pay them money to have them say what you want to hear through campaign contributions and support, but in all actuality they dont care one bit about what is important to Americans.
Lets not have America represented any longer by such horrible people. I say vote for ANYONE besides Hillary,Huckabee,Obama,Romney. Avoid these BIG NAME politicans. We need someone who is more like a normal person, and not a professional liar.

Mr. Alligator, San Francisco, CA   December 18th, 2007 4:12 am ET

Watching the Iowa meltdown of Hilary is more fun than Howdy Doody Time was in the 50's… Do they actually think telling us that a Bush will fix things if Hilary gets in will make us want to vote for her? Sometimes when you become desparate and panicky you become irrational. Billy's statement exhibits just how delusional the Hilary campaign has become.

rewhowes, KC, MO   December 18th, 2007 4:21 am ET

classic woman thing to say (marvene Bowles). This conversation is not even about "hurting females". Thats why all men should be opposed to women in office because it will be another power trip to show men that women are what??? Men too? Please… stop the victim mentality. Yes, women are the crown of God's creation, but still the weaker vessel. Get over it and learn to trust and not become bitter and independant

Mike in NY   December 18th, 2007 4:33 am ET

Dan Gardner, Henderson NV   December 18th, 2007 4:34 am ET

This guy needs to go away…….

The complete arroghance and nerve to make a comment like that….it's almost as bad as Hillary's entitlement to the Whitehouse because it's her turn. I really think I'm going to vomit….

I'm a Republican, don't know who I'm going to support, but atleast Obama isn't a robot with poll tested ideas and a sense of entitlement.

The Clinton's aren't public servants, they only exist to serve themselves and their grandiose self images. Their marriage is a fraud, Bill is a pathological liar and manipulator and so is his wife. How people like that haven't turned on one another yet is what amazes me…..

Ralph Bianco Scottsdale, Arizona   December 18th, 2007 4:37 am ET

It is apparent that Bill and Hillary are running out of straws and will say or do anything to further their interests (What else is new?). But to unilaterally invoke the participation of the senior George Bush to "repair the damage" done by his son, G.W. Bush, is grandstanding and utter nonsense. Comments like this are another glaring example of why no Clinton need occupy the White House ever again.

michael, woodland hills ca   December 18th, 2007 4:41 am ET

What a lame comment from the RNC. Besides the obvious (that the president in 2009 is NOT going to be a Republican), why is it that these knuckleheads seem to think that "keeping our nation safe" and "cooperating with the rest of the world" are mutually exclusive?

They're not. Quite the opposite, in fact: the only way to keep our country safe is to adopt a foreign policy which unites the world, as opposed to George Bush's policies, which have had the effect of uniting the world against us. I appears that only the Democrats understand this simple fact.

As for the story itself, I don't think that George, Sr. is the right man to try to mitigate his son's failed legacy. It is a great bit of politics for Bill Clinton to name-drop him, though. Junior is going to be enraged when he hears about this. It's like the story of Oedipus, only in reverse.

Steve, Laguna Beach, CA   December 18th, 2007 4:47 am ET

Anyone who votes for this witch must have some kind of mother complex. We need a warrior to run our armed forces not a two faced, lying, back stabbing boob like Bilary.

I really don't understand how anyone, regardless of political affiliation, could think another round of Clintonistas could pull this sinking ship from disaster. The back biting and in fighting to serve "us" is getting old. I can't say whom should be president, but I know who SHOULDN'T be the next president. God help this country if Hillary wins. We are doomed!

WB Hickok Deadwood, S.D.   December 18th, 2007 5:21 am ET

"Clinton is a pathological liar."…Those are not my words, but the words of a sitting DEMOCRAT Senator when Clinton was in the White House, Bob Kerrey. Bubba recently said he was initially against invading Iraq, when a check of his speeches proved otherwise. He, and his pantsuit wearing insignificant other, lie at the drop of a hat, so why believe this proclamation? Do not vote for "Elephant ankles, thunder thighs" Hillary.

Frederick, Los Angeles, California   December 18th, 2007 5:31 am ET

"In 2009, a Republican president will be working with our friends and allies abroad to continue to keep our nation safe," said RNC spokesman Danny Diaz. "The American people expect our leaders — both current and former — to present serious solutions to the very real challenges confronting our nation."

Wow, what a nonsense statement. Republicans in the last 7 years have done more to harm our reputation abroad than any administration in (American) history.

James West, Ringgold, GA   December 18th, 2007 5:32 am ET

Former President Bush could use his influence better by dropping his tainted relationship with Bill Clinton. Millions at home think Clinton is an ego-driver politician who uses every opportunity to boost his own tarnished legacy. We shouldn't be a part of helping him do so.

Bill Clinton is already running things for the wife. How arrogant of him. I'm not sure this article is correct. If it is, it's shameful.

Mary C. San Diego, CA   December 18th, 2007 5:36 am ET

What worries me is the idea that two former presidents intend to tell the world "America is open for business and cooperation again." What does that mean? Folks, it means more NAFTAesque treaties, open borders, more jobs moved overseas, more banks for sale. Watch out. I feel like Clinton is selling my soul as an American. Personally, I don't care what anyone else thinks. We have to do what's right for our country first, not bend over backwards to the rest of the world until there is nothing left of and for US.

Jack Robert Greenwood, VA   December 18th, 2007 5:38 am ET

With a bit of patience, you will see the other countries coming around to the USA. Libya did. France now realizes that its welfare state is doomed and that it cannot accommodate an immigrant population. Denmark is not far behind. Holland may be beyond the point of return. Bill Clinton's "blind eye" foreign policy was a major enabler of the 9/11 attacks.

Bill Clinton registers for the draft on September 08, 1964, accepting all contractual conditions of registering for the draft. Selective Service Number is 326 46 228.

Bill Clinton classified 2-S on November 17, 1964.

Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on March 20, 1968.

Bill Clinton ordered to report for induction on July 28, 1969.

Bill Clinton refuses to report and is not inducted into the military.

Bill Clinton reclassified 1-D after enlisting in the United States Army Reserves on August 07, 1969, under authority of COL. E. Holmes.

Clinton signs enlistment papers and takes oath of enlistment.

Bill Clinton fails to report to his duty station at the University of Arkansas ROTC, September 1969.

Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on October 30, 1969, as enlistment with Army Reserves is revoked by Colonel E. Holmes and Clinton now AWOL and subject to arrest under Public Law 90-40 (2) (a) regisrant who has failed to report…remain liable for induction.

Bill Clinton's birth date lottery number is 311, drawn December 1, 1969, but anyone who has already been ordered to report for induction is INELIGIBLE!

Bill Clinton runs for Congress (1974), while a fugitive from justice under Public Law 90-40.

Bill Clinton runs for Arkansas Attorney General (1976), while a
fugitive from justice.

Bill Clinton receives pardon on January 21, 1977, from President Carter.

Bill Clinton becomes the FIRST PARDONED FEDERAL FELON ever to serve as President of the United States.

All these facts come from Freedom of Information requests, public laws, and various books that have been published, and have not been refuted by Clinton.

After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, President Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S.
military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S. sailors, Clinton promised that those responsible be hunted down and punished.

Maybe if Clinton had kept those promises, an estimated 3,000 people in New York and Washington, DC. who are now dead would be alive today.

THINK ABOUT IT! It is a strange turn of events. Hillary gets $8
Million for her forthcoming memoir. Bill gets about $12 Million for his memoir yet to be written. This from two people who spent 8 years being unable to recall anything about past events while under oath.

Brent, Clemson South Carolina   December 18th, 2007 5:52 am ET

oh nice… Bill's already cozy with Bush (former CIA, war-mongering, oil stealing, war profiteer), and now he assures us that Hillary will be, too? It is time to stop this maddness. What will it take for Americans to wake up to this catastrphe in the making–another 9/11? Bush/cheney had no problem pulling it off. You think bush/clinton will have trouble doing another one?

but that's not how it worked out this time. I really do think she'll do a fine job as president. She is certainly a better choice than having another republican!!! I would really encourage people to set aside previous biases and give her another look. She is the candidate most ready to lead this nation.

It sounds like a great idea. Our country needs anyone who can help with damage control. Stop bashing Hillary. We all know she is the best choice. I am not tired of the Clintons. Bush I doesn't bother me - its Bush II that I totally dislike. Once again it doesn't matter how many times they have been elected it's who is the right candidate. Hillary is that candidate. The DesMoines Register couldn't have said it better. So again say what you will she is the one. Clinton 08. And, I will be honest it doesn't hurt that her husband is Bill Clinton. Cuz I don't care if he couldn't keep his zipper up (like most men do?) this man I admire and respect.

Why does CNN and most other cable networks, put so much negative attention on the front runner? It is as if the new media wants to see the races tighten in hopes that the tightened races bring in greater viewership / ratings.

Oh wait, that IS what CNN and the major cable networks do (MSNBC largely excluded).

This is a fine article about what BILL CLINTON said. It referenced Bush Sr — not the RNC. So, no quote from Bush Sr., duly noted. A reply from RNC — WHY? Clinton did not say Hillary would get the RNC out on the raod to repair the damage of Dumbya's presidency.

The important point here is Hillary's plan to repair, albeit inpart, America's shattered image over seas.

I like the basic idea and think most people in America feel it is required afetr 8 disasterous years of Dumbya.

That is the point — not what the RNC says in response to it. Hillary is running for the DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S NOMINATION right now.

CNN used to do better. Not anymore (but what can we expect with you just hiring talking heads — Anderson Cooper "Watch out that's a piece of flying tin"! and the rest!

Problem: Hillary want be president. The Clintons are traitors to the US. The Chinese and Arabs have the Clintons bought and paid for. Bushes want to promote the new world order.
All of our politians have sold the american people out for the all mighty dollar.
The people should not be afraid of the gov't; the gov't should be afraid of the people. Lets take our country back before it's to late!

It is a "royal" family affair.

Nobody has anything against a woman running the country. Just not THAT woman (Hillary). Do I even have to go into why?

Yea, the Clinton White House will once again be "Open for Business" nuclear secrets to china, pardons, overnights in the Lincoln bedroom, ect, ect

Note to Marvene:
Tuned to CNN all day…disappointed by Hillary critics, will tune to MSNBC…
Ignorance is truly the most expenseve commodity this country has.

Michael Sayers, Reading, PA   December 18th, 2007 7:33 am ET

Right. This is the same guy who said, "I did not have sex with that woman."
B. Clinton is a goof, has always been a goof and always will be a goof… who says stupid things like this latest stupid, goofy thing he's said.
Remember, when you vote for Hillary, you get Bill, too.

"I leave our tv tuned to cnn all day. If the NEGATIVE remarks do not stop toward Hillary Clinton msnbc will need to be my choice. Why do ALL you select her as your choice to hurt."

Probably because they see her as a Stalinist that will complete destroy this country and the principles it's founded upon.

I don't know why Bill Clinton thinks he's important, when he was a drag on Gore and is a drag on his wife. I guess that should be expected from a man who originally won the office with around 43% of the vote (thanks Ross Perot…).

Bill can blab all he wants, it doesn't matter, Hilary will be lucky to get the nomination, and even if she does, she's going to lose, just as Obama or Edwards will lose. All 3 top tier democrats are complete political lightweights compared to the Republican they'll face. They have no experience as leaders.

Another big whopper! He even says them under oath.

Minden, LA   December 18th, 2007 7:39 am ET

Clinton (Bill) must have started inhaling.

jj soteria   December 18th, 2007 7:39 am ET

Obama/Edwards or Edwards/Obama '08

We can only hope for a ticket like either of these…for a great Republican win!

IF A CLINTON LIPS ARE MOVING THEY ARE LYING

William W. Wexler, Chicago, Ill   December 18th, 2007 7:44 am ET

Oh good grief.

The first thing the new president should do is declare that they lead a co-equal branch of government and send a bill down that takes the
