(6,819 posts)In the early days of cellphones, he was holding a meeting of our mayor and three other folks at a spontaneous coffee shop stop 2 blocks from our house. Word got around and by the end of the hour meeting, there were 150-200 people out front. He shook every single hand, greeted each child with a handshake and a cheerful smile. I've never forgotten it. It took him another hour at least. We commented that the Secret Service is used to that with Bill!

(3,859 posts)I may be 59 years old, and I have no doubt that Hillary will acquit herself well...
And I have the utmost respect for former President s Carter and Bill Clinton...
But I have to say...this guy is just a class act all the way around.

(14,853 posts)... I think I'll be happier with Hillary's more introverted and studious personality, as far as results. (Assuming that she's not completely stonewalled by a GOP Congress too.)

(81,240 posts)The comments are HORRID! And there's a lot of them. They kinda prove why Trump has the appeal that he does. It is jaw-dropping to see what some of them are posting. One can hope they're joking, but I doubt it.
HORRIFYING.

Of all the foreign dignitaries who were there, the only ones invited to speak were Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, and they spoke last. It was very moving -- they both spoke of the depth and wisdom of the man, how very much the relationship meant to them over many years, and you could see that saying they loved him would not be an exaggeration.
And Bill, yeah, I can just envision him taking lots of extra time to talk to each and every person.
