Bill Clinton was fabulous on the Oprah Show
He spent the entire hour talking about how one person can make a difference
in the world. This is the subject of his new book.

He visited a school to congratulate the students. They had raised money
to help children with AIDS. He brought the girl who started the fund raising
to The Oprah Show. The little girl had been quite ill, but made it through 2 liver transplants.

She told Oprah that her next goal was to raise 1 million dollars to further her
Kids Helping Kids cause. During the commercial break, a man traveling with President
Clinton said he would donate $500,000 anonymously to her foundation

Oprah and Bill also talked about KIVA.org which is an organization of people helping people with small loans

I just tried to log on and they are overwhelmed.

3. Clinton knows the anti war anti bush/gop movement need a leader
yeah, Big Dawg's a player but the criminals truly gonna cost the human race, whether they indeed 'punish' Iran with nukes or not, or whether they hand over controls to a democrat in jan/09, or not- they MUST continue to cover up what they've done, and, well to put it bluntly, because they MUST continue to muck up truth etc a revolutionary restoration of legal gov with restrictions on the role of wealth in politics etc might be easiest way to do it, and Bill Clinton might be only one (except for President Gore) to do it! I know it's alot to ask, but fukk I hated the nazipoohs for trying to humiliate Pres. Clinton (and successfully rubbing Clinton's supporters faces in the 'blue dress, stain, bj' etc, 24/7 for years) and there's no reason on earth for Bill to give a fukk about them assholes...

12. Awww, that's not really fair. Bill fawned all over the girl on the show
and gave her full credit for doing what she did. If you don't like Bill that's ok, but be fair.
