U.N. names Bill Clinton envoy to Haiti
CNN ^ | June 15, 2009 | Meghan Dunn

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday officially named former U.S. President Bill Clinton as special envoy to Haiti.

The position calls for Clinton to work to create jobs and access to basic services for the people of Haiti.

“All I want to do is help the Haitians take over control of their own destiny,” Clinton said.

The U.N. Office for the Special Envoy for Haiti said unemployment reaches 70 percent nationally and 78 percent of Haitians live on less than $2 a day. Even though Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, Ban said he believes that it “is at a turning point. It has a real chance for stability and potential prosperity.”

So, who is he dating there? Based on the numbers, they cannot pay for anything. I am guessing American tax dollars for their corrupt government via Bill.

“All I want to do is help the Haitians take over control of their own destiny,”

So all he wants for Haitians is precisely what his party wants to take away from Americans.

Maybe the Slickster will command one of the UN’s rape squads; he has the experience for the job.

Wonder if old Pres. Clinton will use the Pres. Obama line: I’m going to save or create 3 Million Jobs?
