Bill Clinton Book Out Sept. 4 ["Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World," ......]
BREITBART ^

Posted on 07/10/2007 10:34:31 AM PDT by Sub-Driver

Bill Clinton Book Out Sept. 4 Jul 10 12:38 PM US/Eastern By HILLEL ITALIE AP National Writer NEW YORK (AP) - Former President Clinton's planned book on citizen activism, "Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World," will come out Sept. 4 with a first printing of 750,000, publisher Alfred A. Knopf announced Tuesday.

Clinton, whose memoir "My Life" was a million seller, will tour nationwide to promote the book and will narrate the audio version.

"I've done my best in this book to demonstrate what I've seen firsthand through my (William J. Clinton) Foundation's work in Africa and around the world: that all kinds of giving can make a profoundly positive difference," Clinton said in a statement released by Knopf.

"The amount of good that so many individuals and NGOs (nongovernmental organizations) have been able to do has proven to me that almost everyone—regardless of income, available time, age, and skills—can do something useful for others and, in the process, strengthen the fabric of our shared humanity."

According to Knopf, the book was written by Clinton himself and features "a number of extraordinary people and organizations—some famous, as well as many private citizens whom readers will be hearing about for the first time—all of whom represent a global floodtide of nongovernmental nonprofit activity."

What a choice of titles... especially with the kind of “giving” Billy-boy is infamous for...

Let’s see... one of his biggest contributions would be changing the definition of sex for generations. What a wonderful contribution.

How much has he given of the millions he’s made from speaking and writing books? Why is it that Kerry, Clinton, celebrities, et al. are always talking about giving, but that translates into more taxes for people barely getting by and hardly a drop in the bucket from those who have the most and talk incessantly about giving? Hey Bill, lead by example, give all your profits from the book to those in need.

Well, we know Monica got a dress full of Presidue, so yeah, I guess he did give something.

In Bills case, I believe a murder suicide would be a great for the planet.

That's Clintonspeak for "Big Al is cashing in big time and I want me a piece of that action."

Plus he can mention the little woman at every opportunity on the book curcuit.Nice.

Most of us give without any fanfare or recognition. Who among us needs to write a book about their giving? Only the man who has a compulsion to tell everyone about all the good he does, going around the world being paid millions to tell people how great he is.

Maybe he’ll explain all the Acts of Terror on The United States that he covered up on his eight years in office! Osama Bin Laden said in 1998 he didn’t know what he could do further to teach the American President that they were at war. Bet thats not in his corrupt book.

A brazen plea to the non-elites to give generously to the elites. There have been several articles posted on FR documenting how our giving has made matters far worse in many cases.

How to go from the sticks to the richest President ever and never do anything to earn it on the backs of taxpayers and the Saudi’s. Maybe the title is to long.

So, at 60 Clinton purports to have discovered what all good Christians have known and practiced since they were 10 years old. And then has the gall to try and preach to us about it.

"Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven. So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

Mat 6:1-2
