Bill Clinton on Meet the Press: Hillary, Being 'In Touch,' and, of course, Benghazi

The former president came to the defense of his lovely and hardworking wife in a pre-recorded segment on Meet the Press Sunday morning.  Interviewed last Tuesday by David Gregory during CGI America, President Clinton had a few items to straighten out regarding media spins on recent comments by Hillary and the endless right wing emphasis on her handling of the terrorist attacks on the U.S. outposts in Benghazi in September 2012.

Remarkably, Gregory's interrogation failed to address any of the outstanding initiatives announced at CGI America 2014.  (Or were they redacted?)  Some were monumental and difficult to ignore beneath the CGI America logo flapping in the breeze. Here are a few that Hillary announced. Clearly her record speaks for itself on the topic of being "in touch."   Mr. Gregory could do with being a bit better in touch himself!

 While this segment was airing, Bill Clinton was in Haiti launching a new enterprise to benefit peanut farmers there.  Hillary was home in Chappaqua preparing for her final book tour stop at the local library.  Monday she will be participating in the Aspen Ideas Festival to be carried live on Facebook.  (Join her there.  I  encourage you to.)

Such a life of privilege and leisure!

(Just a reminder:  The Clintons were doing this work on a Sunday.  You know, the supposed "day of rest?")
