Bill Clinton doesn't want his wife to win the U.S. presidency1, according to sources cited in an explosive new book about the $100 million conglomerate2 that the Clintons have become since they left the White House.
根据美国《旗帜周刊》编辑丹尼尔·哈尔珀近日推出爆炸性新书内容，比尔·克林顿似乎不想自己的妻子当上美国总统，因为重返白宫他会受到“重重束缚”。
The former president is 'deeply conflicted' about the idea, writes Daniel Halper in 'Clinton Inc.: The Audacious Rebuilding of a Political Machine,' a well-sourced and easy-reading book released Tuesday.
A former senior
adviser3 to President Clinton told Halper that if Mrs. Clinton, the presumptive Democratic favorite, should become president, 'Clinton's f***ed.' History would remember Hillary as the trailblazing first female president, the insider says, but 'he's gonna be the guy that got a b*** j** and was
impeached4（弹劾）.'
Friends of Bill say in the book that the former president with the wandering eye '
dreaded5' the idea of going back to the White House in 2017 because he would be 'trapped' there, leashed, without room for his
libido6（性欲） to run or any meaningful say in government policy.
He would also find his wings clipped -
literally7 losing his ability to jet-set and entertain
celebrities8 nonstop in exotic locales between $750,000 speaking engagements.
'Why would he want to be the first
spouse9?' a Clinton confidant told Halper. 'What's he going to do? Live back in the White House and do the Christmas cards?'
Officially, according to presidential scholars and historians, the wily and
philandering10（调情） former president would be known as America's 'first gentleman' - a line ready-made for late night comics.
