NEW YORK -- An initiative led by former President Clinton to tackle poverty, climate change and other worldwide issues is launching with a gathering of political leaders and activists who are promising to pitch in _ and must put those pledges in writing.

Participants who fall short can't come back next year, said Jay Carson, spokesman for the Clinton Global Initiative.

Among the 800 expected at a Manhattan hotel for the three-day event beginning Thursday are British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, and Clinton himself.

"This conference is not about talk, it's about action," Carson said. Clinton has been "very clear that if people aren't here to make a difference, then they're at the wrong conference."

Some commitments have already been lined up, including establishment of a $100 million foundation to fight poverty, and others will come out at the meeting, Carson said.

Clinton's wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, is speaking on a panel. Other notables include financier George Soros and media chiefs Rupert Murdoch and Richard Parsons. Many participants are already in the city for a summit marking the 60th anniversary of the United Nations.

Things are just lining up, i've been saying for years Bill Clinton will have something to do with the end times... you got to think... I have a feeling he will bring the antichrist into power, but i might be wrong...

Psst... i aint saying he is the anti christ, by no means i don't think he is going to be... just saying i think he has something to do with the end times...

More ways for Stupidistan, Tunisia, Threenisia, Fournisia, Corruptistan, and Moronistine to pick productive Americans' pockets!!!

Unfortunaely, the best people to fight poverty are the big corporations, the very wealthy, and all them - not the government.

President Clinton to tackle poverty, climate change and other worldwide issues ....

Participants who fall short can't come back next year, said Jay Carson, spokesman for the Clinton Global Initiative.

Such blatant hypocrisy!

Clinton & Hillary assuming such a high moral ground is about as credible as Madonna talking about the importance of virginity !!!

Those two together comprise a destructive dynamic that reminds me of the Bonnie & Clyde effect - but with more far reaching impacts

Christopher Hitchens wrote an incisive book on them , I think its called

"Nobody left to Lie to"

Apparently, there still are a lot of believers out there . .
