The interwebs, social media, and MSM have been abuzz for months about
Mme. Secretary and what might be her plans for the future. Prominent
Dems, even those close to her, speculate on another presidential run, but
no one, not even the Dem closest to her, will speak to that question
with any authority for the simple reason that it is her decision alone,
and she is still pretty busy on the world stage where she has amassed
considerable international capital. We may, however be catching a
glimpse of Act IV in the coming months.
The Clintons are pretty
solidly rooted in New York at this point. Chelsea, Marc, and future
grandchildren are and will be New Yorkers. The Clinton Foundationoperates out of New York because, as the Clinton Global Initiative congregates this weekend and coincides, as always, with the U.N. General Assembly (UNGA),
a good portion of it participants are big movers and shakers on the
world scene and come to New York for both events at once. It is
interesting in light of this, that the power couple apparently has two
international events planned for the state that gave them their start.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. —Two meetings of international leaders are coming to Arkansas this fall, courtesy of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Secretary
of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is to host a gathering of about 50
foreign ambassadors in October in Little Rock and northwest Arkansas.
Former President Bill Clinton is to bring about 40 former heads of state
to Little Rock in December for a gathering of the Club de Madrid.
Clearly, given the current economy,
these events serve as love notes to Arkansas in that the result may
well be a boost to tourism there. But they also may be providing us
with a glimpse of what Mme. Secretary's next act may consist of. No
matter what she finally decides to do, it appears very clear that as
she closes Act III, she and her other half step onto the stage for Act IV as THEInternational Couple of History!
