Bill Clinton: Hillary would be a better president than me
Posted by Toby Harnden on 06 May 2008 at 06:47
Standing in his cowboy boots on the back of a 1941 Ford pick-up truck in tiny Zebulon (population: 4,329), Bill Clinton bestowed on his wife Hillary what he perhaps considers the ultimate accolade. She would, he stated gallantly, be an even better president than he was.
Would Hillary make a better president than her husband?
The would-be First Gentleman’s compliment came at the end of an impassioned 37-minute afternoon speech delivered from the rusting truck, which was parked on waste ground opposite a Rite Aid pharmacy.
Zebulon was the sixth of his nine stops in North Carolina yesterday. He was regaling the crowd of some 250 with an anecdote about his daughter Chelsea, who has also been campaigning vigorously for the former First Lady.
He recounted: “My daughter said the other day in response to a question, ‘Do you think your mother would be a better president than your father?’ She said, ‘Of course I do’. When I called my daughter, I thought she would say, ‘Oh Dad, chill out. You can’t run for anything. She’s on the ballot. What do you expect me to say?’
“That’s not what she said. I called her, she said, ‘Dad, they asked me a direct question. I had to tell the truth.’” At this point, the former president departed from his standard telling of the anecdote and added: “Here’s what I want you to know. For this time in our history, I agree with my daughter. I love my wife but I love my country. I would never be here telling you something I didn’t believe.”
