With the upcoming Presidential election starting to dominate Stateside headlines, Bill Clinton was selected to cover the February 2012 issue of Esquire magazine. The former U. S. Commander-In-Chief adorns the publication’s front page with a tagline reading “An Issue Four Our Divided Times” while talking about topics including the potential Republican candidates, the CLinton Global Initiative and who he thinks will be the next President. Highlights from Clinton’s interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Esquire!On Newt Gingrich:”With someone like Newt Gingrich, it’s a different kettle of fish. Because as a private citizen he was for certain important health-care reforms and believed in climate change and believed there had to be a strong reaction to it. And now he’s just like Romney.

That’s what led to CGI America. And the commitments we’ve gotten will create or fill existing vacancies that haven’t been filled in months for more than 150,000 jobs and give more than twice that many people more-relevant job training. We also got another $265 million in direct commitments for investments of low-interest loans to small entrepreneurs, which is a big deal because the small-business loan rate in many areas has been going down even as the demand for the loans has recovered and, according to Pepperdine University, about 40 percent of American small businesses surveyed said they would hire more people if they could get the financing to do it. ”
