From everything I have read about Bill Clinton he is a terrifically interesting guy. He is best buds with Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, which is not bad company. They have done some unbelievable fund raising together. Billions. He may have lousy taste in women (not meaning Hillary) but he has done a lot of good in this world. And continues to.

>I think Clinton would be terrifically interesting guy to hang out with. Either Bush is probably a better person, but I don't think W and I would have a lot to say to each other, while I think I could spend days talking with Clinton, Gore or Obama. I would love to have known either JFK or RFK for the same reason. Teddy ... not so much.

>>Ironically, Reagan was a bit smarter than people gave him credit for - the man could quote intelligently from the von Mises classic, "Human Action". No easy task. I wasn't a Reagan-lover, but he was smarter than people assumed.
