Former United States Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush debate has been called off because the promoter “overhyped” the event, the New York Post reported.
In early spring of this year, former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton shared the stage in Toronto to discuss the challenges facing a President, current global issues and the urgency to address those important topics. In February, the two were scheduled to pair up again at a TD Ameritrade Conference in February in the state of Florida, reports CBS News.
On February 25, 2010, the former Commander-in-Chiefs were supposed to appear together, once again, at the famous New York City venue; Radio City Music Hall, according to CNN, as part of MSG Entertainment’s “Minds that Move the World”, which enters its third year. Radio City is calling it the “hottest political ticket in history,” which ranges in price from $60 to $1,250.
But the event has been cancelled because the promoter has "overhyped" the event as a heated debate between the two politicians, the New York posted reported.
According to the Post, "Clinton spokesman Matt McKenna said the appearance was never slated to be a 'debate' and was actually a moderated panel discussion with the 42nd and 43rd leaders of the free world."
