Inside 42's lunch with Senate Dems

Clinton: 'We are winning'

By LEE & BUDOFF BROWN | 11/10/09 4:06 PM

(excerpt)

With the issue he has positioned to be his crowning achievement as president at a crossroads, Barack Obama once again called on his former rival to help him follow through.

Former President Bill Clinton told a room full of Democratic Senators Tuesday that passing health care reform – which he failed to do 15 years ago – is not only a moral issue, but also “an economic imperative.”

Clinton argued that even “the most cold-hearted person” ought to support health care reform simply from an economic standpoint. He reminded Democrats of the political momentum their failure to pass reform in 1993 delivered the House of Representatives to the Republicans the following year.

"The point I want to make is: just pass the bill, even if it's not exactly what you want," Clinton told Democrats. "When you try and fail the other guys write history.”

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) said Clinton described the ongoing tea party protests against the Democratic agenda as a sign his party was making progress.

Whitehouse quoted Clinton arguing: "The reason the tea-baggers are so inflamed is because we are winning."

Just like the DUmmies, the Clenis believes that people will vote Dems out of office if no health care reform is passed.  They should worry about being voted out if they pass a crappy bill the ones being considered.
  People will see money being drained from their pockets well before any benefits are realized from the planned reform.  Of course that was necessary for it to appear "revenue neutral".

The word from the Hill is that the Clenis was able to change exactly zero minds on this. :loser:

Of course Clinton wants this disaster of a bill to pass -- Obama's "legacy" will never recover.     It's all about Hillary right?

Only slightly off-topic:  Remember the Hillarycare bill?  One of the most frightening aspects of it was that it would make it illegal to "go outside the system."  So, even if you're a millionaire with a kid with cancer, it would be illegal to open your own wallet to pay for the best of care.  That was in the interest of ensuring a "level playing field for all."  Chilling, and it was a stake in the heart. 

Bill called people like me "teabaggers."  Hmmm.  Presidential, isn't it.

I was going to say that he may not know the sexual connotation behind 'teabagging' , but then I remembered, this is Bill Clinton.

And he probably listens to Keith Overbite and Rachel Madcow.
