8 Reasons Bill Clinton is the Coolest President of All Time

Bill Clinton is enjoying his highest approval ratings ever. Earlier this month, he hit a home run at the Democratic National Convention, successfully energizing Democrats, and has, as a result, been deemed President Obama's "Secretary of Explaining Stuff."

6. He established one of the leading non-profits in the world — the Clinton Foundation — which tackles everything from childhood obesity in America to climate change around the world.
