The fourth annual Clinton Global Initiative University -- the youth-focused offshoot of the Clinton Global Initiative -- kicks off Friday at the University of California San Diego. Former President Bill Clinton will speak at the opening plenary session Friday night, alongside serial entrepreneurs including YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley and Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs. The session, which will be streamed live, will focus on how universities can best harness innovation on campus and provide resources for aspiring student entrepreneurs. The panel will also talk about their own paths from idea to implementation.This year, 1,200 students and youth organizations from across the country will take part in CGI U, which runs from April 1-3 and is intended to engage the next generation of leaders on college campuses. As a prerequisite of attending the CGI U meeting, students make a Commitment to Action -- a specific plan of action that addresses a pressing challenge on their campus, in their community or in a different part of the world. The weekend will include large plenary sessions where CGI U participants can learn about innovative approaches to solving global issues, as well as smaller working sessions focused on skills such as fundraising and marketing, and a large-scale service project at the San Diego Food Bank.
"I am looking forward to convening the next generation of global leaders once again, so they can learn from each other and gain practical skills that will help them turn their ideas into real change," President Clinton said in a statement.

So a gigantic organization has been formed to perpetuate the kind of "leadership" that has brought the world to its current state? I'm not so sure that's a good thing. There are already too many stuffed shirts who have learned the mannerisms and tools of "leadership" but lack the vision or judgement to fulfill any mission other than their own personal goals or that of their sponsors or campaign contributors, all the while espousing humanitarian goals.
The only vision that Clinton appears to be embracing is that of raising funds with little to show for it. Didn't he start out with Bush Sr. with the psunamai fund? Bush seems to have bowed out, but their organiation has jumped on the bandwagon with several disasters since the first psunamai, with very signs of any remedies for the situations for which they are collecting money.
First; who's Frankling? Why should we remotely consider his republican laced put-downs of anyone; at least trying to create some awareness to some obviously important issues that need help. What has Frankling done for anyone, anywhere? Attempt to something; or shut the F--- up.
It appears as though one half of a pair of uninformed/ignorant political smear-jocks, has pounced on one of their auto-pilot; keyword smear-list names, and as usual; made their best attempt to communicate with their political, mental amebas in an obvious effort to indirectly smear the democratic party - Like the aformentioned were directly responsible for our country's current financial woes. You're either part of the problem, or part of the solution - get off your ass and do something constructive - putting others down is not considered affirmative action toward a solution.
