The Voter is Always Right?
This gal has a bit of a selective memory, but the drubbing she gets from Bill Clinton in public was just…well, over the top.
To be clear, there is no question in my mind that Hillary Clinton did work hard to make health care reform work during Clinton’s first term. She was unsuccessful, largely because of her style. The lack of consensus building, team building and discussion with various constituencies in the Congress and in the industry killed it.
The lady’s bottom line is right: Hillary Clinton didn’t get it done after promising it. But her accusation goes a little too far when she suggests that she didn’t TRY. or WORK ON IT.
What has bothered me about Senator Clinton’s health care plan this time around is the same point this woman makes. It plays well on the campaign trail, but will it get done?
At any rate, the public drubbing was something I would not have taken well. Not at all. This lady did a better job than me, because being called ‘crazy’ in public by the former President of the United States would have really pissed me off. On the other hand, he makes a case for McCain’s temper. McCain looks like a pussy cat next to Bill in full dudgeon.
Real classy, Bill.
