On the final day of the Clinton Global Initiative America meeting in Denver, former President Bill Clinton gave an interview to Bloomberg. A complete transcript follows.

BETTY LIU, BLOOMBERG NEWS: Mr. President, again thank you again for inviting us to CGI here this year. It has certainly been -- I have been to many CGI events. In fact I was at your annual meeting back in September. And you do highlight, and as we have seen, some of the great work of the Clinton Global Initiative around the world, helping millions of people out of poverty, fighting childhood obesity and many, many other issues. And I want to get to some of the commitments, Mr. President, that you are excited about to talk about today. But I also want to talk about some of the topics that have overshadowed some of the good work that CGI has done.
