1. Okay, wherefore the 'Boo's? It's really evil to propose universal health care, isn't it?
So evil that now everyone else on the Dem side has been jumping on that evil bandwagon.

She is a tough cookie, and I think she's learned a lot from that earlier, lost battle to come back again with a better plan.

Go, Hillary!

Thanks for this, susan!

2. Bunch of morons booing their future away.
I bet everyone of those idiots who booed her are today paying twice what they paid then for their health care. If we had listen to her back then, people wouldn't be going broke and bankrupt to pay off medical bills today. Maybe even some of those folks who are being foreclosed on, wouldn't have to give up their homes because all their money goes to paying for medical insurance.

Every industrialized nation provides health care for their citizens except the US. There is something seriously wrong with the idiots booing.

5. This quality is what I really admire in her! That steeliness - when she's passionate...
...about something she really cares about. And what did she have to gain by proposing this universal health care plan then? The ire of the insurance and medical lobbies? I still don't get it when people criticise her today for that first, unique and bold attempt by her to get medical coverage for everyone.

What was so wrong about that?

4. Quite honestly...
It burns me up that someone who is tearing her down on this in the Primaries... will stand upon her shoulders and then claim he did what she could not.

This is the crux of my issue with Mr. Obama. He doesn't seem to know how long "change" in Washington takes. Or how the Dems have had to stand by this issue for generations and generation.....

6. Oh, yes. That person implies that with a magic wand, everything will 'change' miraculously...
...in Washington DC. Quite a load of crock. Will say anything to win, without giving credit where it's due.
