Amen, Bill.

Bill Clinton at Madeleine Albright’s funeral:

“Today we see in Ukraine all too tragically what Madeleine always knew – that the advance of freedom is neither inevitable or permanent. And that in politics, where the lure of power is strong and the temptation to abuse it is often irresistible, there are no permanent victories or defeats,” Clinton said.

I wonder who he was talking about?


PS...Clinton - Obama - Biden -> Intelligent Presidents all that have barely kept this country together with no help from Republicans...for 30 years.

Clipped this comment for future use.

Of all of the Presidents in my lifetime, Bill can speak better than any of them. Obama is a close second, but Big Dawg just nails it every time.

But if he did speak too long, that's our Bill. The man with a lot to say.
