Bill Clinton ‘laying the groundwork’ for Hillary by ‘undermining Obama’
Former Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader told The Daily Caller that former President Bill Clinton is “undermining (President Barack) Obama” to lay the “groundwork” for Hillary Clinton’s presidential run in 2016.
Clinton recently told CNN that Republican candidate Mitt Romney’s business record at Bain Capital is “sterling.” TheDC asked Nader if he agreed with Clinton’s statement.
“He’s laying down the groundwork for Hillary Clinton running for president in 2016. Everything she is doing and everything he is doing argues that they want to run Hillary Clinton for president in 2016, so while he might appear with Obama in fundraisers in New York and elsewhere, he’s basically undermining Obama,” Nader told TheDC on Capitol Hill after advocating for raising the minimum wage to $10 per hour.

Strange .......
I really can't explain this.
We moved an ivy plant that was turning yellow closer to the TV.
We noticed that when politicians were on screen, or when politics were being discussed, when Obama speaks, or Clinton, and especially this morning during Meet The Press with all the politicians and all the political discussion, that the leaves seem to turn toward the screen and the speakers, and they seem to be intently listening, and, as a result it has grown, leaves are green, almost like it had been fed a high potency fertilizer.

Sunday Morning 12/12/10
A new political party is start up, saw that on TV this morning, called the No Label Party. I gathered it started at Ohio State and is gathering some momentum. Do you think we need another party? The Tea Party had some influence on the last elections.
They are presently interviewing a man who is in charge of the Inauguration Festivities for the new Governor in Ohio, the Governor who was going to cut spending and turn the state around. Festivities sound rather lavish. I really would like to see a Governor just say, "Swear me in, I've got work to do, let's get down to business, we'll party some other time." But, that will never happen.
How can you advocate "cut spending" and then spend millions on a lavish inauguration?
I received emails from the Kasich campaign. They all said he had "answers" for all the state's problems, during the campaign. I received an email from him shortly after he got elected. "What are your ideas and suggestions to turn the state around." I sent a reply that I thought HE had the answers, now he's asking me.
Nationally, I am concerned that Obama had Clinton speak for him. Are we in good hands, or not. Here is a president who we don't even know his qualifications to be president, but is "silver tongued." After two hears he has lost a great deal of his support and credibility, and he asks an old, impeached ex-president to go to bat for him. It is stuff that movies are made of.
12/12 I am looking out the window at rain and a temperature of 37. North of us, a lot of snow. We are supposed to get some of it later on today.
David Gregory has enough on Meet The Press to keep him going. I have a problem watching David Gregory, he looks like Howdy Doody. Ironic, storm warnings at the top of the screen, and that seems to be the bottom line on what they are talking about, only not the weather, taxes. STORM WARNINGS everywhere.
The rain just turned to snow in Newark, Ohio.

Clinton and his procedure
I feel kinda bad, Clinton had the same procedure I did, and I got no news coverage at all. Maybe because it was a smaller hospital.
I understand that when they told Bill about the procedure as he was "going under," they mentioned blowing up the balloon, and in his sleepy state, he asked if "Monica" could help.
He had a quadruple and I just had a triple, so I guess that was it.

Coincidence?
I wonder, in the foto below it looks like Obama is looking at Michaele Salahi .............
We know who is looking at who in this one ...... and why................
Does ANYONE wonder WHY the American press didn't publish the below foto???????????
And then, five years later, another picture, together, and SUPPOSEDLY they weren't invited to be "under the tent." But they were, and nobody knows HOW THEY GOT THERE. I still have not seen or heard anything about this foto in OUR NEWS ................

Unsure, at first .................
American reporters Laura Ling and Euna Lee, who worked for Al Gore, were pardoned by Kim Jung IL after being sentenced to 12 years of hard labor and now are in Los Angeles with President Clinton.
When first asked about making the trip, Clinton was unsure of the possibility of success, and asked for additional information.
He was told his itinerary would include a stop at Beijing (which is abbreviated as BJ), to which he replied, "Hell yes I'll go, you say there are two of them?"

Bill Clinton and Socialized Medicine
Bill Clinton and Socialized Medicine
by Andrew Bernstein (September 23, 2004)
That Bill Clinton could get the emergency heart care his survival required within 3 days underscores a life-and-death difference between medicine under capitalism and under socialism.
Under the system of socialized medicine in Canada and Europe, people die because waiting lists to see doctors are too long to permit them to receive cardiac care in time to save their lives. In Canada, for example, a patient typically must wait 24 days for an appointment with a cardiologist--and 15 additional days for the type of emergency bypass surgery that saved Bill Clinton's life. Similarly, a Swedish government survey showed that Swedes can be forced to wait as long as 11 months for a diagnostic heart X-ray and up to 8 months for essential heart surgery. The upshot, according to one research cardiologist, is that at least 1,000 Swedes die each year for lack of heart treatment.
The moral belief in the right to health care beyond what an individual can afford--health care at other people's expense--leads inevitably to demand for unnecessary or superficial care that clogs doctors' offices, overfills hospitals and tasks the health care system beyond its capacities. The predictable result is the endless waiting lists of socialized medicine.
The choice facing Americans is stark: the rights-respecting free market of capitalism, where goods and services are produced in abundance, including health care--or the chronic disasters of socialism, where thousands die because of continuous shortages.
