George Stephanopoulos

Anchor of ABC's This Week

George Stephanopoulos, host of ABC’s This Week, returns to Little Rock, Ark., to give his take on upcoming political season in a public address hosted by the Clinton School. President Bill Clinton's former senior political adviser and communications director discusses how politics have changed since days working in the White House. Stephanopoulos answers questions about the increasing costs and time commitment of running for the presidency. "We were so excited in December of 1991 that we raised $1 million for the month ... and now it's an average day's work for a campaign," says Stephanopoulos. He also analyzes the 2008 election, talking about issues of immigration, health care and the Iraq War, describing the election as “the most important of our lifetime.”
