What Is Bill Clinton doing?
I see Al Gore putting his name towards several works to save the environment.

I see Jimmy Carter doing hard work towards truth and justice in Iraq and the middle east.

Is Clinton also doing good things? I am sure he has done some, but I can't recall them at the moment. Doesn't he have a charity or something he has put some big efforts towards?

3. I think he did a lot of fundraising for Katrina victims and for
AIDS work and other devastating diseases (for the Global fund?) in Africa (and other parts of the world?)

Remember the Fox News ambush? Clinton was under the impression that Wallace was actually going to ask him about his Foundation and the Global Initiative:

11. It was an honest question
With Carter and Gore dominating the news lately, I had forgotten all about the Clinton's heart surgery and couldn't remember what he was doing.

12. And lots of stumping for Democrats
Along with his unprecedented work towards eradicating poverty in Africa and around the world. President Clinton criss-crossed the country in the fall in support of Democratic candidates. Hell, he even came to Georgia - when almost no other Democrats did.

13. Pimping for Papa Bush
Providing legitimacy for the tyranny that followed (and preceded) him in the form of "just friends working for a good cause" joint appearances. Collaborating when it really counts. A good business buddy.

He's also looking quite healthy. Hopefully, totally recovered from the heart trouble.
