(15,502 posts)18. Not sure why you would conflate Clinton with
Raygun. At all. Ever.
And the Clintons' initiatives are helping to improve lives around the world, just as Jimmy Carter's initiatives are doing. That is just one of the MANY reasons that the GOPers loathe them and keep trying to find something that they can use against them.
The Clinton Foundation https://www.clintonfoundation.org/
We believe that the best way to unlock human potential is through the power of creative collaboration. That's why we build partnerships between businesses, NGOs, governments, and individuals everywhere to work faster, better, and leaner; to find solutions that last; and to transform lives and communities from what they are today to what they can be, tomorrow.
Everywhere we go, we're trying to work ourselves out of a job. Whether it's improving global health, increasing opportunity for women and girls, reducing childhood obesity and preventable diseases, creating economic opportunity and growth, or helping communities address the effects of climate change, we keep score by the lives that are saved or improved.

Examples: The Clinton Health Access Initiative https://www.clintonfoundation.org/our-work/clinton-health-access-initiative
Working closely with governments and other partners, we aim to strengthen in-country health systems and improve global markets for medicines and diagnostics ensuring lifesaving treatments and care can reach the people who need them the most. Our goal is to transform these systems and ensure they develop into self-sustaining methods of providing low-cost, high-quality care.
The Clinton Global Initiative https://www.clintonfoundation.org/clinton-global-initiative/about-us/cgi-mission
The mission of the Clinton Global Initiative is to turn ideas into action.
Established in 2005 by President Bill Clinton, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), an initiative of the Clinton Foundation, convenes global leaders to create and implement innovative solutions to the world's most pressing challenges. CGI Annual Meetings have brought together 190 sitting and former heads of state, more than 20 Nobel Prize laureates, and hundreds of leading CEOs, heads of foundations and NGOs, major philanthropists, and members of the media. To date, members of the CGI community have made nearly 3,200 commitments which have improved the lives of over 430 million people in more than 180 countries.

But Rethugs simply want to focus on Foundation donors in other to create another "scandal" based on no more than hot air and projection of their own base motives on everyone else.
Prez Obama could do a LOT worse than follow the Clintons' example. I for one am sure that he'll do even better, whatever his choice may be.
