and In the new role of Jimmy Carter....

Bill Clinton hat tip to polipundit

The Clinton Global Initiative is an effort to meld the Davros World economic forum, which doesn't do anything

Clinton has said he got the idea for the meeting from Davos, where the
World Economic Forum meets each year in Switzerland. That meeting has come under fire by critics who complain it is all talk and no action.

"If you come to my meeting, at the end I want you to make a commitment," Clinton said. "If we did one of these every year at the opening of the UN ... and these commitments were made and kept for a decade, I think it would change the world."


Now if the projects they set about are as simple as this article lays out (Say building schools in Keyna) It could be like the carter center only with less coddling of marxist dictators.

I'm going to reserve judgement here because it looks like Bill is trying to meld American-candoism and private charitable giving, with his megastar power.

It might be a good thing.... so we bloggers should be watching.

But *IF* Clinton starts this project it may make his role as The first dude more difficult... so lets also keep an eye out to see if Bill builds this with tools to have an easy out from this organization which bares his name
