Bill Clinton: Blame Me For Health Care

Former President Says He, Not Hillary, Is To Blame For Failed Effort

(AP)  Former President Clinton said Thursday that he is to blame for his administration's failed health care plan, not his wife, who spearheaded the effort.

Clinton was asked about the plan during a campaign event, where he spoke to about 600 people crowded into a YMCA gymnasium. The health care effort was led by then-first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, now a New York senator and candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.

"She has taken the rap for some of the problems we had with health care the last time that were far more my fault than hers," the former president said.

He said part of the problem was a lack of money to finance the health care expansion. Money could be available this time to pay for expanded health care, such as the universal health care plan Hillary Clinton has proposed.

"This time, when you let the tax cuts for upper-income people expire, it'll create a pool of money that wasn't there last time," Bill Clinton said. "We told her she had to get to universal coverage and there would be no new money. She had to figure out how to do it."

Clinton added that his wife's plan faced opposition in Congress, in part, because they had an attitude of "just say no to Bill Clinton."

When asked by a reporter about the former president's comments, Sen. Barack Obama, a rival for the presidential nomination, said Hillary Clinton shouldn't tout her experience and then not take responsibility for the failures.

"If part of your basis for experience is the work you did on health care, then presumably when it didn't work out, that's part of the experience as well," Obama said during a brief stop outside a convenience store and gas station in Albia.

"We're focused on trying to deliver a message of the kind of president I would be and why I think I would be the best nominee for the Democratic Party," Obama said. "My understanding is that President Clinton is not on the ballot."

So now Billy Boy is going to be the blame taker for whatever Hitlery couldn''t accomplish? So he claims he told hill to come up with a national health care plan but there wouldn''t be any new money for it? That sounds like a crock of BS as usual, considering the source. So if SHE gets in office Bill says that "This time, when you let the tax cuts for upper-income people expire, it''ll create a pool of money that wasn''t there last time," and he wants us to believe that by taxing the rich more will fund a massive program such as this? If ANYONE believes this jerk they need to get their heads examined. Now then, if they would CUT taxes for EVERYBODY then there would possibly be funding for their socialist health care. Although with all the corruption, fraud and theft that will occur with a program of this size it''s doomed for failure before it gets launched. Socialized health care is the last thing we need. Health care needs to be privatized to generate competition among the providers. That would keep health costs lower.

[hadenufff]

And by the way, notice how he says "This time, when you let the tax cuts for upper-income people expire", that it isn''t even the RICH he''s talking about. He''s talking about upper-income. Now what exactly does that mean? This could mean that upper income could be anyone making over $100,000. If these two get in office you may as well tear up the Constitution and turn everything over to the gov.

[hypnotoad72]

Huh? The Congress of the time (predominantly Republican after the 1994 election) was bashing Hillary left and right; "Hillarycare" was said to be communist and all sorts of things.

As for "This time, when you let the tax cuts for upper-income people expire", a definition of wealthy would be nice. So would straightening out the convoluted small business tax laws, which seem to do more to hurt SMBs while ignoring large ones. People have little real choice but to be "wage slaves".

Also, letting a tax cut expire is not the same thing as signing a law that ups the amount of money being collected as tax. So when the ill-informed claim it''s a tax increase by letting the cut expire, no it is not. Indeed, blame President Bush for not making it permanent after noting how little the purported cuts have helped most people. (On the face of things, it''s helped large companies offshore, but America is far more diverse and it is the strength of small businesses plus the spending of its citizens that keeps the global economy afloat. Meanwhile, other media outlets complain people aren''t saving enough, so when the media talks, what''s to take seriously anymore and that should have been the main topic that I ought have focused on?)

[processorr2]

HadEnufff

Throw away the Constitution? What are you talking about?

[hypnotoad72]

Oh, will Bill step up to the plate and say "Feel free to blame me!" for other issues? The DMCA comes to mind, that''s a mess... NAFA hasn''t helped. The 1996 telecom act wasn''t so hot either. How about rescinding the 55MPH federal speed limit? How much gas has been wasted (with subsequent global warming) since; didn''t Al have enough clout at the time to convince Bill not to do it?

At least Bill was right on the DOMA, a position I used to disagree with until I saw the Truth.

"Bill Clinton: Blame Me For Health Care"

It is truly inspiring to see a husband show such fidelity to his wife.

Bill Clinton is a true role model for the young people of America.

[vet_sk]

Let''s hope such statements stops Hillary.

She''ll be a disaster in the general election.
She may get the moderate vote but she''ll miss out on the progressive vote. She certainly won''t get mine. I''ll vote 3rd party before I vote for her.
She voted for the Iraq war and then gave Bush Iran on a plate.

Perhaps Ron Paul will pick up some votes as Kerik boondogle embarkes.

[signof4]

That''s right, Bill. Fall down on the sacrificial sword for your old lady. You losers did all you could to trumpet her involvement and leadership in the debacle.

Now you want to rewrite history. Nice try.

"Tyrants from Hitler to Mao to Stalin have sought to disarm their own citizens, for the simple reason that unarmed people are easier to control. Our Founders, having just expelled the British army, knew that the right to bear arms serves as the guardian of every other right. This is the principle so often ignored by both sides in the gun control debate. Only armed citizens can resist tyrannical government."
-- Congressman Ron Paul, June 26, 2006

"How a politician stands on the Second Amendment tells you how he or she views you as an individual ... as a trustworthy and productive citizen, or as part of an unruly crowd that needs to be lorded over, controlled, supervised, and taken care of."
-- Suzanna Gratia-Hupp, Texas Luby''s Massacre Survivor

"To disarm the people is the most effective way to enslave them."
-- George Mason

"The principle of self-defense, even involving weapons and bloodshed, has never been condemned, even by Gandhi..."
-- Martin Luther King, Jr

"Tyrants mistrust the people, hence they deprive them of arms."

Don''t worry Bill most people don''t blame you for Health care, the greedy trial lawyers suing people left and right which accounts for 70% of our doctors bills and medications costs are the blame. But Bill, don''t feel left out, you ARE the blame for something even more ominous

Your lack of action in the 90''s lead to 3000 deaths on 9-11. You get all the blame for that. I remember Bill getting really angry on FOX a few years ago when he was asked "do you take any responsibility" for 9-11.. I lead to an old fashioned shouting march.

Polls are showing ole Rudy catching up to Hillary for the election next year. People are waking up. The hatred of Bush doesn''t measure up to the fear that most people with an IQ of 10 have of having another traitor, I mean Clinton in the white house.

Obama? he wont make it past the primary folks

[jowand]

First LADDIE in the Whitehouse with lots of time on his hands.

Hey Bill, I remember the last time I saw you waving your finger.....we were supposed to believe you then, right? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice.....

[gunnerv1]

Now remember, Hillary is touting "experience" as a leader while she was in the Whitehouse. Now Bill is saying it''s all his fault thus saying the his wife is actually unqualfied for the office.

They don''t call him "Dr. No" for no reason. The Doctor is in! Join us in this 21st Century political revolution at ronpaul2008.com

Dr. Ron Paul., an OB/GYN physician, has been the national leader in preserving our Health Freedom. He feels that Americans are justifiably concerned over the government''s escalating intervention into their freedom to choose what they eat and how they take care of their health. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in order to comply with standards dictated by supra-national organizations such as the UN''s World Food Code (CODEX), NAFTA, and CAFTA, has been assuming greater control over nutrients, vitamins and natural health care providers to restrict your right to choose the manner in which you manage your health and nutritional needs. He introduced the Health Freedom Protection Act, HR 2117, to ensure Americans can receive truthful health information about supplements and natural remedies. He supports the Access to Medical Treatment Act, H.R. 2717, which expands the ability of Americans to use alternative medicine and new treatments. He opposes legislation that increases the FDA''s legal powers. The FDA has consistently failed to protect the public from dangerous drugs, genetically modified foods, dangerous pesticides and other chemicals in the food supply. Meanwhile they waste public funds attacking safe, healthy foods and dietary supplements. He also opposed the Homeland Security Bill, which, in section 304, authorizes the forced vaccination of American citizens against small pox. The government should never have the power to require immunizations or vaccinations.

[jack3213]

Ron Paul certainly has some interesting ideas, a bit grandeous and almost near impossible in this century. True people want change, but the truth is -people are afraid of change. People who favor famaliairty seems to be the norm, why would so many favor Clinton? Of course, it is not about famaliairty that will work either. Sometimes a compromise will achieve more benefits in the real world than wishing for things that will never come. Disappointment is a powerful negative reaction to pain. The pwer and ability to get things done is based on previous experiances and accomplishments. No one is perfect, but the best we can do is vote in someone who can DO THE JOB not someone who we think can.

People have gotten wise to the fact that vaccines are contaminated with DNA fragments, viruses, fungus, mercury, and a cocktail of other poisonous toxins. Fleets of reputable studies have been published globally detailing the wide swaths of destruction caused by vaccines, including autism. So, now the establishment is on the offensive, attempting to bully us into submission. Big Pharma is one of the biggest businesses in the world. It is among the top three purchasers of advertisement in print, TV and radio. Thay have major pull. President Bush recently vetoed a Bill which would have forced Big Pharma to remove mercury from vaccines. If that''s not bad enough, parts of the so-called Patriot Act contains provisions that essentialy removes the spectre of civil liability against Big Pharma with respect to vaccines. This was done under the quise of protecting Big Pharma in case they had to quickly develop a vaccine to combat some form of biological terrorism. No other candidate for President understands health issues as well as Dr. Ron Paul does. He not only supported the Bill which would have removed mercury from our vaccines, he voted against the Patriot Act as well. Dr. Paul., an OB/GYN physician, who has delivered over 4,000 babies, has been the national leader in preserving our Health Freedom. He feels that Americans are justifiably concerned over the government''s escalating intervention into our freedom to choose what we eat and how we take care of our health. Go Ron Paul!

[antoniof123]

I like the Clinton''s and each time I see the neocons cringe about them I know I am making the right choice in voting for Hillary it will be nice to have someone up there with a brain for a change.

[jack3213]

Antonio,..maybe you ought to get one first?

[missingamerica]

Oh, I do, Bill, I do.

I also blame you for antagonizing the religious right and enabling the election of G.W. Bush and the Republican dominance of Congress with your sexual behavior and inability to accept responsibility.

I blame you for the inequality curve''s increasingly rapid upward slope and the loss of American jobs because you couldn''t be satisfied with Monica - you also had to sleep with Big Business and do their bidding regarding NAFTA and the WTO.

I blame you for the ever-increasing energy prices, because you salivated over being a wheeler-dealer not only in America, but in India and China too - and so you brought them on-line to compete with us for the world''s shrinking supply of oil.

Oh yes, Bill...although G.W., the Republicans, and the tiny elite that finances and rules them deserve the major portion of blame for the deterioration of the future America''s children might have had, I''ve not forgotten to allocate you your share of the blame.

[trueprophet]

All of these trade deals and world governmental organizations that all of the presidential candidates support (except Ron Paul), such as the ICC, NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and CAFTA, are all major threat to our nation''s sovereignty. They transfer power from our government to unelected foreign elites. The ICC wants to try our soldiers as war criminals. Both the WTO and CAFTA could force Americans to get a prescription to take herbs and vitamins. The WTO has forced Congress to change our laws to meet their needs, and not our own. If anything, the WTO makes trade relations worse by giving foreign competitors a new way to attack U.S. jobs. The NAFTA superhighway, which is currently being built, is just one part of a plan to erase our borders and create the North American Union, a single nation State like the EU, out of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, with a new, unelected bureaucracy and money system. Forget about controlling immigration under the NAU scheme. There won''t be any borders anymore, or a free America. Our limited, constitutional government, will be gone forever. Let''s not forget the UN either. It wants to impose a direct Carbon Tax on us. Ron Paul successfully fought this move in Congress last year, but if we are going to stop ongoing attempts of this world government body to rule over us, we need someone in the White House who knows how to say "No." We must withdraw from any organizations or treaty that infringes upon our nation''s sovereignty. Vote AMERICA FIRST! Vote for Ron Paul.

[trueprophet]

Sadly, even though Clinton voted for the war in Iraq, and a host of Laws aimed at removing your liberties, so many Democrats are blinded by her cult of personality that I predict they will overwhelmingly vote to put her crime family back into office. While I''ve made some progress in educating Liberals as to the phony staged consensus of the left-right paradigm, the fact remains that a majority of Democrats still see the White House as some kind of political Super Bowl, where the success of their "team" is the be all and end all - to the expense of America as a whole. The Punch and Judy show theater that was the "troop surge" debate in the Senate characterizes Hillary''s role in hoodwinking Americans perfectly. The debate is framed as not whether the U.S. should get out of the Middle-East altogether, but the relative minutia of whether to feed thousands of more troops into the meat grinder or not. Clinton''s Campaign Manager recently compared Hillary to Margaret Thatcher, which translates as more war, more dead Americans, and a further desecration of the tattered shreds of what''s left of our Constitution. Clinton is the ultimate global elitist and represents the Democrats supposed base, the poor and downtrodden, about as much as Lindsay Lohan represents grace and dignity. I''m sure she informed the likes of David Rockefeller and Queen Beatrix as to her presidential aspirations during her last visit to attend the Bilderberg conference. Vote for a REAL AMERICAN. Vote for Ron Paul.

Hey Jack Bill Clinton''s popularity is above 60 percent. Conservative and Liberal polls put him either as the 3rd or 4th most popular President in American history. So when I say this I mean it I have a brain I know when a President does a good job and when one does a bad job.

So maybe Jack you should check yours.

[gunownerdan]

How many babies did Bill Clinton help burn to death at Waco?

[gunnerv1]

The ONLY reason that Bill Clinton is popular is that he was cool to hang with, other than that, he''s a wash.

[jack3213]

Antonio, I find it hunmorous and sad all at once that the popular vote is mostly based on lack of knowledge and self obsorbtion. You certainly like to be a victim and it is impossible to argue with someone who only see''s what they want to see and not the basic truth. Clinton is the best president in your eyes if you like to be taken care of and think the government owes you a life. To each his own.

[gunownerdan]

When the World Trade Center was bombed in 1993, did Bill Clinton do anything at all about it?

Mr. Clinton had a plan to go after Osama, he tried for months to get the CIA and FBI to certify them as terrorists, and they weren''t having it. Without justification, he couldn''t get landing privileges in Uzbeckistan (sp?) to send in troops. And he was still trying to the day he left office! And he had people urging Mr. Bush to carry it thru, but Mr. BUSH chose to ignore it for NINE, get it, NINE months, until a week before 9/11. You see Mr. BUSH knew about 9/11 plans, and he just LET it happen. He needed is ^^(&^(& war!

You go blow smoke somewhere else about Clinton''s not trying to get Osama.

[rowdytexan2]

He''s her husband, and one of the BEST presidents we''ve ever had. And he''s got the GUTS to stand up for her!

What kinda guts you got, besides blowing smoke?

This is a perfect example of why Bill Clinton was a far better president than Bush could ever hope to be!

That is something Bush will never do! Accept responsibility for the mistakes he has made during his presidency.

However, he does have the conservative press so he can just blame everything on Clinton.

[trueprophet]

RON PAUL FAVORS NON-INTERVENTIONIST FOREIGN POLICY
All of the other presidential candidates wants to continue our illegal police action in Iraq indefinitely, and they do not rule out a preemptive (nuclear) first strike against Iran. Conversely, Ron Paul voted against our (undeclared) war in Iraq, which was sold to us with lies. The area is more dangerous now than when we entered it. We destroyed a regime hated by our direct enemies--the jihadists, and created thousands of new recruits for them. The war in Iraq has cost more than 3,500 American lives and almost a trillion dollars. We need a leader in the White House who will ensure this never happens again. Both Jefferson and Washington warned us about entangling ourselves in the affairs of other nations. Today, we have 750 foreign bases and troops in 130 countries. We are spread so thin that we have too few troops defending America. And now, there are new calls for a draft. We can continue to fund and fight no-win police actions around the globe, or we can refocus on securing our borders against illegal aliens who are invading us from the South. No war should ever be fought without a Declaration of War voted upon by the Congress, as required by The Constitution. Under no circumstances should the U.S. again go to war as the result of a resolution that comes from an unelected, foreign body, such as the United Nations. Too often, we give foreign aid and intervene on behalf of governments that are despised. Then, we become despised.

[trueprophet]

RON PAUL IS THE NEW WAY
What we need is a President who will show us the way. Not the old way. Not the same way, but a new way. Think about this for a minute. What if we pulled all of our troops out of South Korea? They''ve been there for 50+ years. What if we quit worrying about Iran, but instead, realized that its having a nuclear weapon will not mean the end of the world? What if we pulled all of our troops out of the Middle-East, and brought them all home? What if we realistically addressed the National Debt, and paid attention to REALLY DOING SOMETHING about stopping illegal immigration? These are the ideas of Presidential candidate, Ron Paul. He''s a ten term Congressman and a physician who has delivered over 4,000 babies. He''s an intellectual who''s published four books, three of which are devoted entirely to sound economics and one to foreign policy. He was raised on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania as a pious Lutheran, but now he attends a Baptist church. Paul is given to mulling things over morally. Whenever he recollects the helicopter pilots he treated as an Air Force Flight Surgeon (Captain) during the Vietnam War, a war which he now says was "totally unnecessary and illegal," he laments, "They were gung-ho. I''ve often thought about how many of those people never came back." Candidates with the high level of personal integrity and proven track record of adherence to The Constitution, Congressman Paul has always demonstrated only come around once in a lifetime, if we''re lucky.

Sadly, even though Clinton voted for the war in Iraq, and a host of Laws aimed at removing civil liberties, Democrats are so blinded by her cult of personality that I predict they will overwhelmingly vote to put her crime family back into office. While I''ve made some progress in educating Liberals as to the phony staged consensus of the left-right paradigm, the fact remains that a majority of Democrats still see the White House as some kind of political Super Bowl, where the success of their "team" is the be all and end all - to the expense of America as a whole. The Punch and Judy show theater that was the "troop surge" debate in the Senate characterizes Hillary''s role in hoodwinking Americans perfectly. The debate is framed as not whether the U.S. should get out of the Middle-East altogether, but the relative minutia of whether to feed thousands of more troops into the meat grinder or not. A Clinton presidency will mean more war, more dead Americans, and a further desecration of the tattered shreds of what''s left of our Constitution. Clinton is the ultimate global elitist and represents the Democrats supposed base: the poor and downtrodden, about as much as Lindsay Lohan represents grace and dignity. I''m sure she informed the likes of David Rockefeller and Queen Beatrix as to her presidential aspirations during her last visit to attend the Bilderberger conference. Vote for a REAL AMERICAN who fights against one world government. Vote for Ron Paul.

CLINTON GIVES PRESIDENT DICTATOR POWERS
With the full support of Senators Clinton, Obama and McCain, President Bush recently signed into Law the John Warner Defense Authorization Act, which, according to Senator Leahy (VT), will actually "encourage the President to declare Martial Law." It does so by revising the Insurrection Act, a Laws which limits the President''s ability to deploy troops within the United States. The Insurrection Act has historically, along with the Posse Comitatus Act, helped to enforce strict prohibitions on military involvement in domestic Law enforcement. With one cloaked swipe of his pen, Bush has now undone all of those prohibitions. The John Warner Defense Authorization Act, which was signed by the President in an unpublicized ceremony, allows the President to declare a "public emergency," suspend Congress; The Constitution; and to take control of state-based National Guard units without the consent of your Governor or local authorities, in order to "suppress public disorder." President Bush seized this unprecedented power on the very same day that he signed the equally odious Military Commissions Act. The two Laws compliment one another. One allows for torture and detention abroad of those who dissent and are stripped of their citizenship, while the other seeks to enforce acquiescence at home by allowing the President to order the military onto our streets in a domestic Law enforcement role, which is already being done. Vote for Liberty. Vote for Ron Paul.

DR RON PAUL UNDERSTANDS HEALTH CARE
Dr. Ron Paul., an OB/GYN physician, has been the national leader in preserving our Health Freedom. He feels that Americans are justifiably concerned over the government''s escalating intervention into their freedom to choose what they eat and how they take care of their health. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in order to comply with standards dictated by supra-national organizations such as the UN''s World Food Code (CODEX), NAFTA, and CAFTA, has been assuming greater control over nutrients, vitamins and natural health care providers to restrict your right to choose the manner in which you manage your health and nutritional needs. He introduced the Health Freedom Protection Act, HR 2117, to ensure Americans can receive truthful health information about supplements and natural remedies. He supports the Access to Medical Treatment Act, H.R. 2717, which expands the ability of Americans to use alternative medicine and new treatments. He opposes legislation that increases the FDA''s legal powers. The FDA has consistently failed to protect the public from dangerous drugs, genetically modified foods, dangerous pesticides and other chemicals in the food supply. Meanwhile they waste public funds attacking safe, healthy foods and dietary supplements. He also opposed the Homeland Security Bill, which, in section 304, authorizes the forced vaccination of American citizens. The government should never have that kind of power. Vote YES for Dr. No.
