Bono is a Global Initiator

Bono attends the opening session of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) on Wednesday at the Sheraton Hotel in New York City.

President Clinton is hosting the fourth annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative, a gathering of politicians celebrities, philanthropists and business leaders to discuss pressing global issues.

“It is extraordinary to me that you can find $700 billion to save Wall Street and the entire G8 can’t find $25 billion to save 25,000 children who die every day of preventable treatable disease and hunger,” Bono told Clinton‘s fourth annual philanthropic summit in New York. “That’s mad, that is mad.”

“Bankruptcy is a serious business,” the 48-year-old U2 singer said, but added, “this is moral bankruptcy.”
