President Bill Clinton will be speaking at the 2012 Energy Innovation Summit

Feb 27-29 in Washington DC

Clinton’s Vision: Aligning Business and Philanthropy

As positive examples, Clinton cites his experiences in Haiti with the Digicel Group, which employs 70,000 people, and a fund for entrepreneurs established by billionaires Carlos Slim and Frank Giustra. He lauds companies such as Walmart, Google, and Procter & Gamble for having “shifted their corporate culture from promoting social responsibility to increasing shared value.” He references the shift in the pharmaceutical industry from a “low-volume, high-margin business to a low-margin, high-volume one with guaranteed payments” that is helping millions of people with HIV/AIDS “at much lower costs while also improving the profitability of the companies involved.” http://www.nonprofitquarterly.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19306:clintons-vision-aligning-business-and-philanthropy&catid=155:nonprofit-newswire&Itemid=986

Bill Clinton charms at golf tournament: Politics and golf get along quite well

Clinton intertwined his message with his memories of Hope, who died at age 100 in 2003.

"I remember seeing him play when he was, maybe, 93," Clinton said. "He could still swing the golf club. He didn't live as long as he did by accident. I remember we had dinner one night, it was late, and he talked about how, http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-dwyre-bill-clinton-20120121,0,1821260.column?page=2

Norman Finds Comfort Zone With Clinton

Greg Norman did not expect to like President Bill Clinton, whose politics he opposed.“I actually was very reluctant to do it because I’m a bit more pro-Republican than I am a Democrat,” he said Wednesday. Norman added: “And I didn’t really like the way the first two years of his presidency was going. I just didn’t feel comfortable with it from my own personal beliefs. So I actually came to a judgment decision saying I don’t want to play because of his political position.”

VIDEO Bill Clinton tackles childhood obesity

This is definitely an important cause. Now if I can bring to Clinton's attention this: Learning how to read food labels is very important BUT I am finding many have errors. For example, how can a Thomas English muffin with enriched wheat flour as the #1 ingredient have 8grams of fiber per serving size listed but another Thomas English muffin of the same weight in grams state whole wheat flour as the #1 ingredient but only has 5 grams of fiber in equal serving size? This example is not due to one company trying to outdo the other. When 2 companies are compared I have observed even more errors. How can this be? Aren't these food labels required to be accurate? http://video.msnbc.msn.com/nightly-news/46032064/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter#46032064

"I was a student at Georgetown University. When we arrived as heady freshmen in 1964, because of the alphabet, I was assigned a room next to Bill Clinton," Caplan tells Morning Edition host Linda Wertheimer. "And we've remained friends ever since."

Such good friends, in fact, that Clinton not only helped edit an earlier draft of Caplan's novel but also wrote an introduction for it.

Bill Clinton’s Vision

In his Dec. 11 review of Bill Clinton’s “Back to Work: Why We Need Smart Government for a Strong Economy,” Jeff Madrick trots out the three fallacies that have prevented conventional liberals from understanding the importance of the Clinton administration’s approach and achievements.

Guest Columnist

I had two chance encounters with former President Bill Clinton the other day and was able to ask him about the 2012 election. He said — as I expected — that President Barack Obama would win. More on that later.
