Since he has left the White House, Bill Clinton continues to be really active . He heads a fundation against AIDS and poverty, makes a lot of conferences... last year he earned 10 millions dollars by doing speeches and conferences, a lot of activities that could interfere with his wife's responsabilities.
Nevertheless he agreed not to interrupt and to reveal the identity of all his donors in the past and in the future (200 000 names) and also to give his schedule in a view of transparency. Indeed the new government must avoid for example that a foreign country gives a generous contribute to Bill Clinton and asks him to press in a friendly way his wife.
For Barak Obama, Hillary Clinton is a worth choice because he can be surrounded by the bests to lead the American policy like he wanted since the beginning.
Also it is better to have the Clintons in his team than against him...
