Clinton

There's a poll on AOL that asks how would you rate President Clinton's second act?

How would you rate Clinton's work since he left office?
Excellent 67%
Good 14%
Poor 11%
Fair 8%
Total Votes: 81,067

The next poll is about when he was President.

How would you rate Clinton's work as president?
Excellent 53%
Good 20%
Poor 19%
Fair 8%

That's 81% approval since and 73% approval during his presidency.

Those are numbers Mr. Bush dreams of having. Granted, falling gas prices mean higher approval ratings but he's still well under 50%.

I love what President Clinton is doing now with his Global Initiative. I think we all want to be called to do something great. We all want to do nice things for other people. Sometimes we just need direction or opportunity. It really is selfish this business of doing good things. You are the one who benefits because it makes you feel good. God love President Clinton for tapping into that.

I was painting my friend's bedroom today - she's having some health issues - and I thought wouldn't it be great to set up a company to do this kind of thing for other people with cancer or AIDS or just elderly people. Turns out there already is an organization called Paint Your Heart Out but that doesn't mean it wasn't a good idea.

In these polarized times it's important to find things that bind us together.

Obviously our approval of Bill Clinton is one but the call to service is another.

To quote J.D. Salanger, "Let's just be courteous and kind to one another."
