3. Well, he just started
Now with his book of Giving he is moving ahead, and without poppy Bush.

Aiming to, say, 2015, or so?

10. If it's just philanthropy,
he'll have to get behind Bill and Melinda Gates. If he has any chance, it will be from efforts to broker peace agreements. In reality, Al Gore is more deserving. His efforts have brought real attention to climate change.
