Ed posted Bill Clinton to the rescue?  It goes into detail about Obama schlepping Clinton out, now that the chips are down. Obama said, “We’re putting him to work.”  Maybe Clinton should be trying to fix the ongoing problems with The Families of Freedom Fund.

Fox News has :Scholarship Fund Falls Short of Its Promise, Families of Sept. 11 Victims Say

The Families of Freedom Fund, which was established in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, has raised more than $128 million, but only $27.3 million has been distributed to only 1,000 students.

Clinton and former Sen. Bob Dole campaigned to get funding from several top U.S. corporations, including Ralph Lauren, DuPont and NIKE. But the fund, managed by Scholarship America, has been criticized for using unfairly stringent standards to determine who receives scholarships.

On the eve of Thursday’s seventh anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, Clinton met with family members in New York to hear their concerns about the handling of the fund. Afterwards, he met with Scholarship America president, Dr. Clifford L. Stanley.

“There are a lot of real problems here,” Clinton said. “From my point of view, this is your money. This money was given for your benefit, for your children.”

He sounds sincere doesn’t he?  Well guess what, he sounded that way last year when confronted on the exact same problem:

I did kinda chuckle at this:

“Bill Clinton is trying to fix this and I appreciate his and everyone else’s help,” she said.

“Honestly, I do think it’ll get sorted out. I think it will get addressed and sorted out and if it doesn’t, then shame on them,” she said.

“God forbid, if there’s another tragedy in this country, people will be hesitant to help. That’s what terrifies me.”

Really?  You are the same person that was highlighted last year.  It has been a year and nothing has changed, so what makes you so sure, I won’t be reporting on the exact same problem next year?
