This has to be good for my haitian people. The media exposure of a bill clinton could be the much needed attention a country too often left to wallow in poverty and constantly on the wrong side of luck.

Foreign Policy reports that former President Bill Clinton is set to be named as the United Nations’ special envoy to Haiti, and the announcement could be made as soon as tomorrow.

It’s worth remembering that during Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, she said she would put Bill’s global reputation to use by naming him as a roving goodwill ambassador. Hillary ended up at the State Department rather than the White House in the end, but Bill still clearly has the desire and opportunities to serve.
