Our Generation, Like The One Before Us,

In The Emerging Global Economy, Everything Is Mobile: Capital, Factories, Even Entire Industries. The Only Resource That's Really Rooted In A Nation--and The Ultimate Source Of All Its Wealth--is Its People.

One Of The Things That I Realized When I Left Office Was That In The 1990's Citizens Across The World Applied More Power Than They Had Ever Had, As Compared With The Government, Because Of More People Living Under Democracies Than Dictatorships For The First Time, The Power Of The Internet, Which The Young Chinese Used To Basically Change China's Policy On The Sars Epidemic, And Shut It Down, And Because Of The Rise In Non-governmental Organizations Like My Foundation.

The United States Is Too Big And We Are Too Involved With Too Many People For Any President To Be Able To Take Actions That Will Be Universally Agreed To All Day, Every Day And Everywhere In The World.

When I Was In Office I Expressed Admiration And Respect And Even Affection For Republicans That I Knew And Liked And Cared About, And I Tried To Find Ways To Work With Them. I Think The Democrats Should Do That, And Just Keep Trying To Lower The Temperature.

I Came Of Age Believing That, No Matter What Happened, I Would Always Be Able To Support Myself.
