Fears were allayed August 27, 2008, when Clinton enthusiastically endorsed Obama at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, saying all his experience as president assures him that Obama is "ready to lead".[324] After Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign was over, Bill Clinton continued to raise funds to help pay off her campaign debt.[325][326]

In 2009, Clinton travelled to North Korea on behalf of two American journalists imprisoned there. Euna Lee and Laura Ling had been imprisoned for illegally entering the country from China.[327] Jimmy Carter had made a similar visit in 1994.[327] After Clinton met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, Kim issued a pardon.[328][329]
Since then, Clinton has been assigned many other diplomatic missions. He was named United Nations Special Envoy to Haiti in 2009 following a series of hurricanes which caused $1 billion in damages.[330] Clinton organized a conference with the Inter-American Development Bank, where a new industrial park was discussed in an effort to "build back better".
