Anderson, on behalf of the haitian people, I would like to thank you for everything you're doing in Haiti.
No words can express our gratitude. You and all the crews of Cnn are amazing people.
I heard that it rained this morning in Haiti. Please let us know how the people cope with the situation they're in.
Thanks
God bless you all.
@ Anderson,
I have to say that You look so cute holding that baby!! :o)
It's so wild to hear AC and Sanjay talking about sophisticated heart treatments while in Haiti, where even the most basic services are still scarce!
@Jo Ann, "One Thing you can't change is genetics."
So true...I think that Clintons father passed away from heart disease 2 months before he was born.
Good evening all,
Wishing President Clinton a speedy recovery!
Those statistics are rather frightening....the number of ppl who die each day from heart disease, etc., etc.
Hello everybody!
I am so glad to hear Pres. Clinton is doing well.
Keep up the good work, Anderson and the crew! BTW, you look so natural holding that baby:-)
Good evening Anderson, Isabel, Emily, Starr, everyone. Wishing President Clinton a stong recovery. But a double stent is a serious procedure and he should take it easy. I don't see how being UN envoy to Haiti after this quake is like regularly going back to work on Monday. That's a big job for anyone. Someone needs to do that on an interim basis now.
Cute little baby in the orphanage! 🙂
@Megan
Hi , great to hear that he's doing better in the hospital.
@ Emily
You are too funny. I do not know if helping with a wedding would be relaxing! Usually it is very stressful... 🙂
Okay.... how adorable is THAT picture? ( Anderson holding the baby and the baby is holding on to him).
@ Anderson
You're holding the baby handy, huh?
President Clinton's heart just keeps on ticking. Proof that you can't keep a good man down.
The children in Haiti should be helped as much as possible within their own world...If the parents were promised they could see their children anytime they wanted to, how were they supposed to get to them? That sounded like a false promise to me.
As I've said before, SOMEONE we all know really wants kids and seems rather natural at it.
AC, you are going to make a GREAT father one day! 😀
You look so cute with that baby!
One thing you can't change is genetics.
I agree with you, Debbie....I have so respected Candy Crowley for a good while now. Very happy for her now!
@Casey,
I think that it sounds like Clinton is in "excellent" health given that he does have heart disease....it is "the silent killer" and we have lost so many great people from it! It sounds like Clinton has kept his weight down, cholesterol, etc.
He will go home tomorrow, Right now, he is still resting comfortable at hospital, Bloggers! 🙂
Wishing former President Bill Clinton quick recuperation!
"The legal way to help Haiti's children" – that is in the best interest of the children and not taking them away where they lost their legal existence.
There's anything that will stop President Clinton from doing what he's good at...and that is reaching out to people who are in need. He has a BIG heart!
I have always liked President Clinton. He has done many wonderful things for many people over the years! I certainly hope he will recover with no ill effects.
I'm not a gigantic fan of Clinton either, Milan, but am very glad he is doing well.
He can rest at home & help Chelsea with her up coming Wedding!
Anderson,
Hi! It's great to see you from Haiti.
I hope Fmr. Pres. Clinton recovers quickly. It must be somewhat of a strain to keep up the pace he has, even if accustomed to it.
Hello AC, hello everyone.
Is Good to hear that Mr Clinton is doing well!
Any heart problem is so disturbing, even listening to the doctors that all is running as expected.
Good evening Anderson ,Sanjay ,Karl + 360 team!
Hello fellow bloggers!
I hope President Clinton gets better.
Maybe I can go and recoup with Pres. Clinton. How cool would that be!
The woman who leads the missionary group just does not 'ring true' for me, seems too concerned with her own image of angelic rescuer.... I do wonder what will happen now.
Good evening Anderson Cooper, 360 Team,
Emily, Starr, A. Smith, Megan, Linda-Az, Gabriela-Nicaragua Gayle, Isabel-Brasil and other bloggers
Is it just me or does it seem ridiculous for someone to say President Clinton is in excellent health when he's having issues with his heart?
Personally I don't like President Clinton, but I hope he gets well fastly. Apparently it's not that serious though, if I got the doctor right.
good evening everyone...Hi! Anderson!
Hoping for President Clinton's recovery.
Get better soon soon Former President Clinton!
Helllooooo Anderson, Megan,Candy, Jessica Yellin, David Gergen, Emily, Bloggers, my friend Twitter/Facebook Bloggers!!!!!

Good Evening Anderson, 360 Crew, Megan, Heather, Emily, Isabel, Dodie and everyone!!
I hope you all had a great thursday, it's almost weekend, thanks God!
looking forward to hearing the good news that the American Missionaries are doing!
I've just finished baking and got here in time!
Good evening everyone – Anderson, David (Indiana), friends and bloggers! Good show tonight.
RIP Alexander McQueen
I hope former President Bill Clinton is well soon! He's a great man!
Evening everybody!
I think if they give these 10 Americans bail, they will never come back for trial or sentencing if they are found guilty. The Haitian government is bending to the will of the US since they need aid. What a major slap to the face for the people of that country. If a group of Haitians pulled a stunt like trying to take 10 Americans out of the country, the justice dept and the public would crucify them. God help the people of Haiti.
Good evening.
Good Evening Everyone!
Good evening Anderson, Dr. Gutpa & Karl Penhaul & 360Crew in Haiti, Devna, 360Team, Megan, Martina, Gabriela, Dodie, Starr, Mike, David & Isabel, Jo Ann, Gloria, Casey, Adelaide & Bloggers!
Wish a speedy recovery to former President Bill Clinton.
