Bill Clinton inspired Chappaqua poet

One day the two spoke about an upcoming trip to India she was taking in 2007 to visit family and he suggested she check out some health clinics aided by the Foundation. She took him up on the idea and was so inspired by the well-being of the patients that she assembled her photos with poems into a book. She has published a 27-page hardcover book “The Lucky Ones” poems and images of her visit two years ago to three health centers serving children with HIV/AIDs in India that are funded by the Clinton Foundation.

“Biotech can play a big role in how we produce and consume energy,” said President Clinton. He also stated that ‘there is no more urgent task’ than addressing climate change.

President Bush emphasized that we must have a vibrant economy to support biotech innovation. “We need to incent research and aggressively encourage investment [in biotech],” said President Bush.

Both Presidents Clinton and Bush acknowledged each others’ accomplishments while in office and kept a consistently collegial tone throughout the moderated discussion.

When President Clinton was asked what he missed most about being Commander-in-Chief he said that he loved ‘representing America around the world,’ and added that it’s the only job he’ll ever have in which they ‘play a song every time I walk into a room.’
