Bill Comes to Push Obamacare
WASHINGTON -- Former President Bill Clinton knows just how high the political stakes are in the fight to overhaul America's health care system.
His failed attempt to revamp the delivery of medical care contributed to the Republican takeover of the House and Senate in 1994.
Fast forward to 2009, where health care's white-hot spotlight now shines on the Senate. Clinton is still in the picture, and he's expected to speak to Senate Democrats about health care legislation during their weekly caucus Tuesday, officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss his schedule.

This idiot is a proven liar. He wasn't honest with his wife and family does anyone think he'll by honest with the public. He attached himself to this administration for business reasons ONLY and will do whatever he thinks necessary to get their handouts.
He's no better than a Chicago hooker and BHO is his pimp.

We Can't Sit Back and Allow the Loss of Our Freedoms
*
We elect the government. It works for us. As we watch the Democrats' plans for health care take shape, we can only ask how did our government get so removed, so unbridled, so arrogant that it can tell us how to live our personal lives?
*
Last Saturday, at 11 o’clock in the evening, the House of Representatives voted by a five vote margin to have the federal government manage the health care of every American at a cost of $1 trillion dollars over the next ten years.
*
For the first time in American history, if this bill becomes law, the Feds will force you to buy insurance you might not want, or may not need, or cannot afford. If you don’t purchase what the government tells you to buy, if you don’t do so when they tell you to do it, and if you don’t buy just what they say is right for you, the government may fine you, prosecute you, and even put you in jail. Freedom of choice and control over your own body will be lost. The privacy of your communications and medical decision making with your physician will be gone. More of your hard earned dollars will be at the disposal of federal bureaucrats.
*
It was not supposed to be this way. We elect the government. It works for us. How did it get so removed, so unbridled, so arrogant that it can tell us how to live our personal lives? Evil rarely comes upon us all at once, and liberty is rarely lost in one stroke. It happens gradually, over the years and decades and even centuries. A little stretch here, a cave in there, powers are slowly taken from the states and the people and before you know it, we have one big monster government that recognizes no restraint on its ability to tell us how to live. It claims the power to regulate any activity, tax any behavior, and demand conformity to any standard it chooses.
*
The Founders did not give us a government like the one we have today. The government they gave us was strictly limited in its scope, guaranteed individual liberty, preserved the free market, and on matters that pertain to our private behavior was supposed to leave us alone.
*
In the Constitution, the Founders built in checks and balances. If the Congress got out of hand, the states would restrain it. If the states stole liberty or property, the Congress would cure it. If the President tried to become a king, the courts would prevent it.

Keep telling yourself that Bill. You saw how well that line of thinking worked for you before.
Democrats: Ask yourself....what has been improved on with Democratic leadership?? Education...nope. Economy?....nuh uh. Enviroment...not that.
It is just a minority (union leaders/workers) that benefit from anything Democratic leadership has ever done.
Poor Bill Clinton, he really believes people don't see it. Stay tuned Bill. Just watch!!!!
Ohiogal
I think it's time for Clinton to go hide under that dress with the stain. It's his fault and "do nothing" attitude that he, himself, ignored what the terrorists wanted to do in the USA. Pretty sad day when Clinton comes riding in to assist Obama (the keeper of the keys). Or is that Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum??

Bill Clinton said "The reason why the TEABAGGERS are inflamed is because we're winning".....What is it about these Democratic Presidents?....they're out of touch and have NO class!! The reason why the AMERICAN PEOPLE are inflamed is because you liberals are trying to shove this bill down our throats. Mr Clinton!!

Supposedly Bill said the teabaggers are angry b/c we're winning. Winning what? A pink slip?!!!

They are going to try to push this thru very fast, so the dems who are being thrown under the bus won't realize it until too late.
Constiuents will vote them out of office and run them out of state.
They'll all end up living with Piglosi.
Dale Jeu
Can they attach an amendment to it that would require an IQ to vote? That would eliminate people like Ashes and Major pain in the ... Tom.

When will this ding dong fade into the sunset? He left office 9 years ago and we are suppose to get a break sometime. Just because his evil wife is still working in DC, I guess that means Slick Willie gets to keep has pass to harass the human race. Somebody please find him another fat girl to take up his time.

"The reason the tea-baggers are so inflamed is because we are winning." ---Bill Clinton 11/10/09. You go Willie and the Dems. Keep on believing you are winning. You will wake up at the end of 2010 wondering, "How did we lose the game". You go Willie and the Dems. Hussein too - you are all going down. The American people are way ahead of you all on this one and our power is in the vote.

Absolutely! AND, as a little bit of enlightenment to Mr. Clinton, we didn't send them up there to "win" we sent them there to do the people's business, not push their idiological agenda's down the majority's throat. The majority will speak loud and clear election days 2010 and 2012. Then, we will win.

Bill is attempting to set up democrats for another fall, like he did 16 years ago.
How many FOOLS are in the Senate that will vote for government run healthcare.
As ASH wrote: "the only way to cut the cost is by less comprehensive coverage and less effective coverage." SAT. Nov.7, 2009
That is RATIONED healthcare.

O'REILLY: They call it, you know, the public sector. What is the -
HUME: Public option, you mean?
O'REILLY: Public option, whatever. The folks don't want it. ... But it looks to me like they have maybe 55 votes to pass it. And that means they could be filibustered and never come up for a vote.
HUME: That's what it looks like right now. The public option, actually some polls show that the public option standing by itself is not at all unpopular, but it is kind of popular.

Old Bill is still trying to run this country from the back door, and bho has nobody else to do it and gave bill an open check book to pursuade the democratic senators with gifts to pass this bill.

The Clinton's are worthless political fools. Why pay any attention to them at all? They both should have been cast into the pit of useless political trash a long time ago or at least left to rot in a federal prision. Don't pay any attention to the Clintons and history will forget they were even around.
