Bill Clinton jokes: Let's elect Betty White

Bill Clinton has endorsed a woman for president – and it’s not his wife.

The former president jokingly suggests that Betty White run for office in a birthday tribute to the 91-year-old-actress set to air on Tuesday.

"In a time when our nation is so bitterly divided, it's important to have a leader who's won the respect and affection of our nation in the way that Betty has," Clinton says in a preview of the NBC special. "After all, she's gained praise all the way from President Obama to George Dubya. Of course I'm talking about Presidents Barack Obama and George Washington."
