Bill clinton and the clinton foundation in defending his role and his contribution. some of it seemed odd to me. for example him boasting that he got speaking engagements for president clinton. i dont know any president of the u.s. united states who has problems getting speaking engagements for fairly eye-popping amounts of money and bill clinton is not any mean speaker. hes someone who is in demand, so it seems like the rooster taking credit for the sun coming up. >> theres been this drift or o...
