the annual clinton global initiative meeting is taking place in new york this week. the initiative was established in 2005 by bill clinton in an effort to unite the world's deepest pocketed philanthropists and world leaders in finding and funding solutions to the world's most pressing concerns and causes.
i've watched a few of the live webcasts on livestream and facebook and have to say, they are all interesting, if not inspiring.
since leaving office, bill clinton has become an international rock star, sometimes a bit too much of a celebrity - but he continues to shine his light, influence and street cred onto the world most neediest causes, which in my book is more than what our current crop of elected politicians and candidates are offering and capable of these days.
