"According to data gathered from the U.S. State Department, Bill Clinton was the best traveled of all presidents. During his two terms in office, he visited 75 different countries. All told, President Clinton was abroad more than 130 days, or nearly 5% of his presidency." http://www.gvsu.edu/hauenstein/?id=A9B2BD9E-F5E1-1992-E8AFBEA9FF2AAB09&CFID=9282716&CFTOKEN=68294622 Nov 07 08, 6:09 AM

This from the Republican Policy Committee: Clinton's Presidency: More Postcards than Proposals If Bill Clinton needed a passport to handle the agricultural crisis, had to pack a bag to address Social Security, needed a plane ticket to cut taxes, or had to cross time zones to deal with managed care reform, maybe he would have tackled these tasks. If foreign trips were home runs, Bill Clinton would be Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa rolled into one . . . and perhaps Ruth and Mantle as well. When the year is done, but the important business of America isn't, it should be no wonder that President Clinton could not work on all the important issues at home: He was hardly here. http://rpc.senate.gov/~rpc/releases/1998/travel3.htm US State Department list of ALL presidential trips: http://www.state.gov/www/about_state/history/prestravels2.html#tenure Nov 07 08, 10:23 AM
