[shawn703]

Former President Bill Clinton has visited Southern India, one region devastated by the tsunami that hit Indian Ocean countries in December. The visit is intended to focus world attention on rehabilitation for millions of survivors.

A moved Mr. Clinton praised the once thriving fishing community picking up their lives, and finding alternate livelihoods. He said he wanted to help people build better facilities and a more diversified economy.

He also met women entrepreneurs who have begun making handicrafts such as candles and incense sticks after the waves destroyed the fishing boats from which their families earned a living. The former U.S. president promised to try to create a better demand for their products.

3. Well, we did pretty well with him at the helm.....

I wonder, if you asked a conservative if they could be guaranteed a healthy economy and a budget surplus (which we had under Clinton, remind them of that), would you give up control of even one branch of government, what they would say?
