President Clinton's philanthropic summit got $2 billion in pledges
Posted: Sep 27, 2012
THAT for a worthwhile goal?
This is from the site "Global Good News," which I like to drop in on now and then. Where I also just learned the beautiful seaside park my daughter got married at in Cozumel is now a nature reserve and Rwanda's economy is growing robustly across all sectors. :)
"Healthcare for athletes with mental disabilities, organic know-how for Indian farmers, and solar technology for isolated communities were among the pledges made at former US President Bill Clinton's philanthropic summit, which ended on Tuesday. With its theme of 'Designing for Impact' and an emphasis on improving the lives of women and girls in the developing world, heads of states, business leaders, and humanitarians at the eighth annual Clinton Global Initiative made 150 new pledges valued at about $2 billion."

This is TWICE now the Feds have had Texas' back within the last mont ...

Right's Response To SummitFeb 26, 2010
The talking point distributed on Fox was that the summit was "boring." It is a major flaw, I guess, of this presidency that Obama does not make his meetings on crucial legislation interesting enough to entertain the opposition. Awwww. In other words - look away - the right came off badly and Obama's directness, honesty and tendency to point out political posturing triumphed again. ...
