Bill Clinton: Opposing Reform Would Be A 'Colossal Blunder'
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/17/bill-clinton-abandoning-h_n_396159.html


Burt Worm: Bill, we didn't oppose health care reform. We oppose being sold out in the name of health care reform for the sake of insurance companies' bottom lines.

4. Bullshit.
"The bill will shift the power away from the insurance companies and into the hands of consumers." How can he say that shit with a straight face?

7. Shocker.
Wow. Bill agreed with a pro-corporatist position. This is what the Clintons, the DLC, the New Democrats, the Blue Dogs and Rahm Emanuel do. Nothing new here.

9. The colossal blunder of the Iraq invasion got a free pass
from Clinton, but now he finds his voice when corporate interests are threatened
