St. Augustine, FL (November 8, 2011) – The St. Johns County Cultural Events Division announced today that Former President Bill Clinton, 42nd President of the United States, has been confirmed as the featured speaker at The Saint Augustine Amphitheatre on the evening of Monday, March 19, 2012.

Since leaving public office in 2000, Former President Clinton has remained a high profile figure of global influence. He is respected worldwide for his insights into national and international affairs and for his humanitarian efforts with the William J. Clinton Foundation to transform the global landscape.

His most recent literary project, “Back to Work” was released today, November 8th, and focuses on economic growth, job creation, financial responsibility, resolving the mortgage crisis, and green technology- all issues that affect Americans on a local, national and global level.

President Clinton’s appearance will be particularly relevant as it occurs on March 19th, the bicentennial anniversary of the signing of the Spanish Constitution of 1812 (commemorated in St. Augustine by a monument located in Plaza de la Constitucion), creating the perfect setting for President Clinton to speak on the impact of our historically significant community, along with the global impact of democracy.

President Clinton left office with the highest end-of-office approval rating of any United States President since World War II, and will be one of many notable U.S. presidents to visit St. Augustine.

Confidence Game
Event on 2012-03-30 19:00:00

On Monday, March 10, 2008, the early tremors of America's subprime mortgage meltdown began rippling down on Wall Street at lightning speed. Seven short days later, Bear Stearns, the 85 -year-old investment bank known for its financial pugilism and outsized profits, found itself on the brink of unthinkable collapse; making the firm ground zero for a crisis that would go on to engulf the entire global financial system. Confidence Game reveals that the downfall of Bear Stearns was not merely a weeklong event, but was an in evitable occurrence that had been10 years in the making.

Interviews with former employees, homeowners, mortgage brokers, whistleblowers and eminent financial journalists including Bryan Burrough, William D. Cohan and Andrew Ross Sorkin provide context for a destruction of wealth not seen since the Great Depression.

Confidence Game reveals how an amalgam of Washington policy and regulatory failures, compliant ratings agencies, media manipulation and fraud in the subprime mortgage market on a massive scale short-circuited Wall Street nearly destroying the American Economy.
