(1,720 posts)Radical R's can say they were simply trying to get Obama to address problems with ACA. Oh, and that is what they said prior to and during the shitdown.
Pres. Clinton is more interested in reminding the public of his administration's Third Way and in turn help HRC than helping D's in US Congressional races one year from now.
Pres. Obama must be saying that given friends like the Clintons, who needs enemies?

(22,877 posts)angst ahead.. hair being yanked from its very roots.. it makes great copy and keeps people ginned up and tuned in.
But I think (let me stress that .. I think) there will be some solution, that will accommodate those who had their insurance cancelled.
The republicans know in their heart of hearts they can only gin up 30 % of the populace.. sometimes it works when we sit on keisters and do not go to the polls.. but the Affordable Care Act is here to stay.. and once correctly implemented.. and the gremlins paid or unpaid are flushed from the system .. people will embrace ACA aka Obamacare just like they have medicare.
And I do not see President Clinton giving cover to the republicans.. I really don't..
He may have opened the conversation to single payer on a national level.. and I am okay with that.
