Clinton. I never knew what to think of him while he was in office. I didn't bother. I was too good for politics and had barely started to care about anything beyond my world. As we got closer to the end of his eight years in office, I read many many reports about what he had done, or had helped get done. I was impressed. This guy seemed like he cared about someone besides himself, and that's rare. My whole outlook on politics changed, and I have no time to document that. Salon.com just posted an excellent speech Clinton made in England yesterday, to the Labor Party conference. They miss him more than we do. It's an impressive speech. Nothing seems easy anymore, and I think he is someone who recognizes that because the world is difficult, and multidimensional. One approach may not always work and you should be willing to look at other solutions, find the compromise and combination of ideas which will work. Amazing. Of course, looking at so many solutions can lead you to inertia. They all look so tempting . . . But I'm glad he's still talking. I'd like to hear more from him. not to mention his wife's future.
