Reunited: Clinton And Bush To Make Second Joint Appearance

Jillian Rayfield

TD Ameritrade announced today that former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush will appear together at the TD Ameritrade Institutional 2010 National Conference in Orlando, FL next year.

The conference, which will take place from February 3-6, will bring together investment advisers and other industry professionals to discuss the future of the financial services industry.

Bush and Clinton will appear for the hour-long keynote discussion on February 4, moderated by TD Ameritrade Institutional President Tom Bradley. Bradley said of the appearance: "We are thrilled to be able to bring such distinguished leaders to our national conference and offer advisers a balanced discussion on global issues impacting their business and their clients." This year is expected to attract the largest-ever crowd to the 14-year old conference, which drew more than 1,000 investment advisers last year.

The conference will mark the second time former Presidents Clinton and Bush will appear together at an event, the first being a Toronto forum back in May. That event, which drew 6,000 attendees, was surprisingly amiable, with President Bush even referring to Clinton as his "brother." Bush also joked about ticket prices for the event, which ranged from $200-$2,500, saying "President Clinton and I used to believe in free speech, so thanks very much for coming."

On edit: There is irony in there somewhere.

1. You would have to pay me $2,500 to get within a mile of Bush.

And even then I don't know if I would go.

I was a fool to ever leave your side
Me minus you is such a lonely ride
The breakup we had has made me
Lonesome and sad
I realize I love you
'Cause I want you bad, hey, hey

I spent the ev'ning with the radio
Regret the moment that I let you go
Our quarrel was such a way
Of learnin' so much
I know now that I love you
'Cause I need your touch, hey, hey

Reunited and it feels so good
Reunited 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit
And, sugar, this one is it
We both are so excited
'Cause we're reunited, hey, hey

I sat here starin' at the same old wall
Came back to life
Just when I got your call
I wished I could climb
Right through the telephone line
And give you what you want
So you will still be mine, hey,
Hey

I can't go cheatin', honey, I can't play
I found it very hard to stay away
As we reminisce on precious moments like this
I'm glad we're back together
'Cause I missed your kiss,

Lover, lover, this is solid love
And you're exactly what I'm dreamin' of
All through the day
And all through the night
I'll give you all the love
I have with all my might, hey, hey

6. How much are they charging for their appearance?

I am sure they are not doing this for free.

21. Check down thread beachmom has a good link.

I'll post the link again.
http://www.pointsoflight.org/press-releases/president-barack-obama-joins-former-president-george-hw-bush-celebrate-20th-anniversa

�This is a significant moment in history as these two leaders come together to celebrate their shared vision of service and volunteerism in America,� said Michelle Nunn, chief executive officer, Points of Light Institute. �In 1989, President Bush called the nation to service with the signing of the National and Community Service Act of 1990, the first piece of federal national service legislation that sparked a movement of service, leading to the creation of what is now Points of Light Institute. This call was rooted in our nation�s greatest tradition -- the compassionate and innovative power of citizen action. President Obama has lifted up this call to the nation and has said that he wants to make it a central cause of his Presidency.�

20. I think Poppy will be dead then, and frankly don't see Obama palling around with Junior

since he is very critical of the mess he inherited from him.

Count on it.

These sort of events happen with former presidents.

14. I understand that this is standard procedure with former presidents.

But what bothers me is how chummy Clinton has always been with the Bushes. He has also defended Bush, Jr's. policies. I don't think Obama has done this, even though in some ways he's been a disappointment.

22. How come Carter never pals around with either Bush? Granted he did

become close to Jerry Ford.

24. Yep. It's odd, but then again, Jimmy is a principled guy who, despite vilification

coming from the right and many Democrats as well, has much bigger balls than Clinton or Obama. And Carter has turned out to be right on so many issues, particularly energy and the Middle East crisis.

10. Presidents do this, and if you are offended, then you are not

being realistic at all--you're being too partisan.

15. Oh yeah, it's absolutely horrible when two former presidents get together

to raise funds for a natural disaster. Did you read the sign on the podium?

19. Yeah, but Obama is going to meeting with Bush Sr. soon as well:

http://www.pointsoflight.org/press-releases/president-barack-obama-joins-former-president-george-hw-bush-celebrate-20th-anniversa

On Friday, Oct. 16, 2009, President Barack Obama will join former President George H. W. Bush to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the vision of a thousand �Points of Light,� which catalyzed the modern volunteer service movement by hosting a presidential forum on community service at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum at Texas A&M University. The event will honor the enormous advances of the service movement that started 20 years ago under the leadership of President George H.W. Bush and that has been sustained and grown through the leadership of Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush. President Obama has dramatically expanded this movement with his leadership of the bi-partisan Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act. The event will also celebrate the contributions of more than 4,500 Daily Point of Light Award winners.
