Bill Clinton Defends Reconstruction Commission Efforts

HeadlineJan 13, 2011

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton, now the U.N. special envoy to Haiti, addressed recent criticism of the recovery commission, which he co-chairs.

Bill Clinton: “I don’t blame people for being mad and frustrated. If I were still living in a camp like that after a year, I would go crazy, I think. And our objective is not to have any particular person in office, but to see the people of Haiti believe in their constitution, believe in their democracy, and accept the results, whatever the are, of this process in a way that is peaceful and positive, so we can continue to do our work.”
