Bill Clinton: ‘I Just Kinda Like Jon Huntsman’

“[Jon] Huntsman hasn’t said what he’s for yet, but I just kinda like him. He looks authentic. He looks like a real guy. I mean, a real human being. [Saved.] I like his family, I like his kind of … iconoclastic way. And he was a pretty good governor, he wasn’t a right-wing ideologue. But Bachmann’s been a better candidate than I thought she’d be, and I don’t agree with her on nearly anything! She’s got a very compelling personal story, and she’s gotta lot of juice, and she turns [on] a lot of the anti-government crowd.” —After a resounding endorsement for Barack Obama, who he said he “has always thought” will be reelected, former president Bill Clinton tells the crowd at the Aspen Ideas Festival exactly what he thinks of the GOP’s 2012 contenders.
