Elmo rubs it in that he got a Common Sense Media Award before President Clinton

Secretary of State Clinton: To me, his most impressive service has always been his role as a dad.

Chelsea: even when we weren't consuming media together, my dad always asked me about what I was watching, listening to.

Bill Clinton quotes: looked for a teachable moment out of tough coverage he got in a reelection campaign, I love the idea of a digital driver's license, Just as we worry what kids are exposed to, we should worry that our mistakes are keeping them from learning & knowing, Our children can be trusted to make the right decisions if they KNOW. And that is part of Common Sense

"We here of a certain age were raised to see everyone. My grandfather taught me to see people without regard for the color of their skin," Clinton said.
