Bill responds to the phony BS about the Clinton foundation

[videohead5]

A belated Happy New Year,

2017 was a busy year for the Clinton Foundation. Besides our life-changing work around the world many of you know us for—helping farmers in East Africa, fighting climate change by promoting renewable energy, and opening opportunities for girls and women around the world—we also devoted more resources to our U.S. efforts—combating the opioid epidemic, helping more communities and schools improve health and wellness, increasing early learning, and mobilizing relief efforts in the wake of the Caribbean hurricanes.
Last fall, I traveled to Baltimore, Jacksonville, and St. Louis to visit sites where our work on the opioid epidemic is helping prevent overdose deaths, where children are leading healthier lives thanks to new food and exercise options at school, where communities have better tools to manage their health, and where parents have new resources to ensure the healthy development of their young children. I saw the continued work of the Clinton Global Initiative—from a STEM education commitment helping girls in St. Louis, to our tenth annual CGI University meeting at Northeastern University in Boston. In the last few weeks, I’ve visited Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, where we’ve been working to bring medical supplies and solar equipment, and Dominica, where we’ve been asked to help build a completely independent, clean energy-powered electrical system.

This is the real news about the Foundation.

1. Which is why conservatives hate every fiber of both Bill and Hillary Clinton.

They do good, something that few conservatives have or even desire to accomplish.

Thank you Mr. President and Hillary Clinton for your continued positive work and all that you do!

2. Yes

Conservatives tend to do things for their own welfare and as such, assume everyone else does too. If someone is genuinely trying to help, they figure there must be an ulterior motive.

It is rather like a liar believes everyone else is lying.

3. My friend who has a talk show for truckers said they hate that they help in Africa-

They don’t realize the global benefit from keeping Africa healthy and independent of relying on China who’d like to take over and make it a satellite for all their manufacturing. Supporting their farming helps them with be self sustaining as well as optimize their eco-tourism business. They’ve created beautiful farm / hotels as rest stops between national parks and also more medical centers.

4. The conservatives can go shove their bullshit up their you know what.

6. Shove it up their . . .

. . . Trumphole?

5. Republicans hate all of Clinton's charity work. It makes them ill

What they hate is the contrast in ex-presidents. Look what Bill Clinton has been doing. Look what G.W. Bush has been doing.

One travels the world doing good deeds. The other sits in front of an easel and paints.

As an old friend of mine once famously commented, "'nuff said!"

7. As long as I have to be on FB, this was a good reminder to follow the Clinton Foundation

Thanks!
