He's been commander in chief, Time magazine's 1993 man of the year, had hopes of becoming "First Laddie" of the United States and now former U.S. President Bill Clinton is in line for a new title - Father of the Year.

The non-profit National Father's Day Council plans to award him that honor at a New York fundraiser for Save the Children on Tuesday.


Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, was just 12 years old when the family moved into the White House and Bill Clinton and wife former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton worked to keep her out of the limelight.


One of the most iconic images of the family to come out of that period was when the three were photographed, walking hand in hand across the White House lawn to a waiting helicopter shortly after the news broke of Bill Clinton's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. That scandal lead to Clinton's impeachment for perjury.


Chelsea Clinton, now 33 and a special correspondent for NBC News, said on Twitter "I completely agree!!!" when the award was first made public in January.

ROFL

Wonder why it took so long, former Sen. John Edwards won it in 2007. Will Monica be attending? Guess having various women accuse you of rape and sexual misconduct makes you a shoe in.

A good father gives his children roots and wings. Clearly, Bill was quite successful in that regard.

A good father is loyal to his wife and marriage vows, and NOT a lying perjurer, sexually abusing a young subordinate...

A man can be a good father without being a good husband. I know many wonderful single fathers.

A bad husband is an unfit father.
There are no bad wives or unfit mothers.
The spirit of UK divorce laws.
 
Clinton getting 'Father of the Year" award is as much a fraud as Obama getting the "Nobel Peace Prize", just to send the pinheads into their favorite fools paradise...

You describe a good husband. Sorry.

No, that's a good father.

The question isn't about Bill Clinton really being a good father. It's about him being Bill Clinton, and giving this so-called 'award' some gravitas.

Giving Clinton a good father award is like giving Obama the Nobel Prize for Peace.

It's not about deserving, it's about who is awarding it and why.

Now I get the point .. and having been a single father myself .. I should have gotten it earlier ..

.. although what I said about the silliness of the award still stands.

There are a lot better fathers in this country than Bill Clinton .. and many struggle against the odds to make a better life for their children.
 
After reading the article and looking at the some of the past winners of the award I'm still not certain what the criteria is. However considering the number of famous people who have won it it must have something to do with money or fund raising I would surmise.

BINGO
 
Judging an ex-president's (or current) capacity at fatherhood by morons on an internet forum who have no idea is stupid. Focus on your own kids.

Hell, even I'll admit Dubya raised a couple of good kids.
