BILL CLINTON IS STILL A ROCK STAR!

Bubba has still got it! Former President Bill Clinton made a secret trip this week to North Korea to meet with Kim Jong Il in one of the communist leader's few meetings since it was revealed that he is in declining health. Bill, with a little help from the State Department and the White House, was able to negotiate the release of the 2 jailed American journalists- Laura Ling and Euna Lee, who had been sentenced to 12 years of hard labor for entering the country illegally. Bill flew back home safely with the journalists who have since been reunited with their families after their 4 1/2 month ordeal. Ling and Lee work for Al Gore's Current TV, so there is a Clinton/Gore connection there. I thought it was unusual that a former President would be sent on such a mission instead of the current President, but it did happen once before in 1994 when former President Jimmy Carter was sent during a nuclear standoff with North Korea during the Clinton presidency. When the former President arrived in Pyongyang, he was greeted with smiles and flowers. He's still got it. Seriously the guy is a rock star! Time will tell if President Obama can make the same impact at home and abroad!
