Bill Clinton, not as daft as he looks...

During Clinton’s young years in Hot Springs, Ark., two Mormon missionaries once approached the future president with their pitch.
The then-president-to-be was impressed, he told BuzzFeed reporters recently, with the young preachers’ effort as they explained Mormon teachings about heaven.
As Clinton recalled, they described the afterlife as "a pyramid with many levels that put Hitler and Stalin at the very bottom, faithful Mormons on top, and everyone else in between."
That had a certain appeal, he said, but for Clinton, a Baptist, "the sticking point" was any system that left his loved ones "out of the top level."
He couldn’t get with any program, he said, that would "leave all these other people behind."
