So far, Clinton has resisted naming a Shirley Temple Black as an ambassador or an Arnold Schwarzenegger to a presidential commission. But he needs to prove that Roger Clinton got all the rock-star genes in the family and that he intends to govern more like Harry Truman than Oprah Winfrey on wheels. The most perceptive question pollsters ask is whether the respondent believes that the President cares about people like you. Unless Clinton is pursuing...
