at the house of bill

On Tuesday Bill Clinton hosted both presidential candidates at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York. It's testament to Clinton's extraordinary cross-party appeal these days that he's able to pull this kind of thing off just a couple of weeks after giving a deeply political speech at the Democrat convention.

Now, I dare you not to warm to Mitt Romney just a little for a) Turning up, and b) Making a sweet and slightly sad joke about Clinton's speech (from which he's not really recovered).

That is sweet. But it's odd to hear him calling Clinton "Mr. President".
