"You'll have me thinking I'm president again." Clinton said he sees five basic tasks for the United States: security, making friends instead of enemies, increasing international cooperation, strengthening the United States economically and developing a belief that what nations have in common is greater than their differences.

Aston, my dear young boy, Bill Clinton was just ignoring you because you had nothing to say to him and he had nothing to say to you.

I love it that the Huffsters are now pissed at Ashton for saying this, not at Clinton for supposedly hitting on a married woman.
