Hillary & Obamacare: “Her fingerprints are all over that legislation.” [Darleen Click]

And that was said by Tom Harkin in praise of the Red Queen.

Harkin praised Clinton’s longtime commitment to health care overhaul, which passed while she served as Obama’s secretary of state. “Her fingerprints are all over that legislation. It would not have happened but for her strenuous advocacy all those years,” he said.

Let’s see if the Stupid Party can do anything with that unforced quote.

  1. You’re funny, Darleen, you really are.

  2. Drumwaster says:

    How many people remember one of the major reasons for the wave of ’94 was HillaryCare? (54 House seats, 9 U.S. Senate seats, 10 Governorships and many State legislatures flipped from D to R in that election.)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_health_care_plan_of_1993

    You also never hear why the wave election of 2010 happened, either. ObamaCare on a party-line vote in 2009 plus the TEA Party caused 63 seats in the House, six Senate seats, 29 out of 50 Governorships, and a whopping 680 State Legislature seats (setting a new record) flipped to R. Now that the impacts of ObamaCare are being felt, this next election ought to be intriguing.

  3. McGehee says:

    And Obamacare played a secondary role in Romney’s defeat in 2012 — a lot of voters didn’t care for a choice between the guy who actually got it enacted, and the guy whose signature accomplishment in his one term of elective office served as its template.

  4. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Rush more or less led off today with this bit of nonsense from espnW pundita Kate Fagen:

    “[Domestic violence] is behavior that is happening at the grassroots level that is born through years of our culture like raising like men to want to not be like women and using language like ‘sissy’ and ‘you throw like a girl’ that demean women. These are all contributing factors. And I think if we want to hold the NFL’s feet to the fire over this issue, we shouldn’t be looking at the number of game suspensions because I don’t think that will change the problem. I think it should mean getting them to throw the kitchen sink at domestic violence. To invest millions of dollars in grassroots organizations, in going into middle schools and high schools and colleges and talking to young men about dealing with anger, about how they treat women. I think that’s where you’re going to see change. I think that right now all of this reactive behavior is not going to change it, as much as going in and going into the school system and the younger spaces and really reprogramming how we raise men.

    Because, ask any single mother of a thug athlete, professional or amatuer, football or other sport, and they’ll tell you just how good women are at raising men.

    Irrespective of whether they want to grow up to be men who are like women or not, Miss Fagen.

  7. Ernst Schreiber says:

    It’s not going to stay in the underclass. It’s going to creep up into the lower middle class.

    That is, if it hasn’t already.

    And of course, the larger point is that the real problem here is the lack a father in the household.

    Usual caveats about doing detail work with a 4 inch brush apply.

    >Every summer Peterson hosts a Meet Dad Camp at his estate in Texas where his multitude of bastards get a couple weeks bowing down to the peacock before receiving some Vikings swag and a Greyhound ticket back to their moms. Just because you pay the court ordered child support and you like to brag about your reproductive powers doesn’t make you dad. Charles Barkley says all the black dads in the South whoop their kids like this. Great. … Make the Lorax weep with all the trees you fell just to make the perfect switch. But you can’t lacerate your rent-a-kid the day before he’s packed in the FexEd box and delivered back to his real home. Get some perspective. Adrian Peterson isn’t a throwback disciplinarian. He’s just a pretend dad who likes to hit kids with real sticks.<

  9. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Pretend dads are part of the dynamic too.

    Anyway, this Peterson spawn is luckier than was his half-brother in my neck of the woods.

    Also worth mentioning that Peterson doesn’t sound all that much better than the thug the Sioux Falls baby mama took up with.

    That’s got to be part of the conversation too. If mama’s don’t want their babies growing up to be abusers, then they’d better not take up with abusive men in the first place.

    >It’s not going to stay in the underclass. It’s going to creep up into the lower middle class.<

    the " underclass" are low iq blacks. 2 examples from "middle class blacks" today:

    Keep telling yourself it’s a racial thing if that helps you sleep at night.

    You might want to think about just who it is that makes up Rotherham’s underclass, though.

    well when a group votes 90% for x yea ok racial.

    but how about this:

    seems totalitarian in – “snitches get stitches”. that is not a “libertarian” credo.

  13. newrouter says:

    >You might want to think about just who it is that makes up Rotherham’s underclass <

    perhaps. but i really wonder about those who created the conditions and why? i don't understand the "TWANLOC ” , this modus operandi of the ruining class, other than to create evil.

  14. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Is that a squirrel?

    Y’know, on the edge of town where I grew up there was an old farm house surrounded by oak trees.

    Trees infested with black squirrels.

  15. Ernst Schreiber says:

    bureaucracy is a poor substitute for community

  16. newrouter says:

    >Keep telling yourself it’s a racial thing if that helps you sleep at night.<

    racial no "culture" yes. this past saturday i spent time in that "culture". these folks are not the "future". hi tech retards mostly.

  17. Ernst Schreiber says:

    I’m glad we agree that it’s cultural.

    That’s also why I think it’s going to spill over into the lower middle class.

  18. newrouter says:

    >Trees infested with black squirrels.<

    the "racist stuff" doesn't work with me. i'm up close and see the black lower class. your detour to blaming me for their condition is unfortunate.

  19. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Okay, fair enough. I misunderstood, and I apologize.

    But that’s a true story about the colony of black squirrels at the old farmstead on the corner of the corner of Commerce Ave. and Lookout Drive.

  20. newrouter says:

    >That’s also why I think it’s going to spill over into the lower middle class.<

    it is really interesting how "low class blacks" are tribalistic in their "music" preference. not alot of blue grass black bands. individually they could do "sumthing" collectively they suck. say the same for Arabs.

  21. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Good essay. Thanks serr8d.

  22. Ernst Schreiber says:

    The music may be “tribal” I don’t know. But the music isn’t exclusive to the tribe.

    Case in point, Jazz.

  23. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Maybe related, maybe not, but, vis-a-vis Rice and Peterson, it’s interesting how “that’s their culture” goes to the wayside when it’s the values of upper-middle-class liberal progressive culture that are offended.

    No doubt some hierarchy of victimhood is involved.

  24. newrouter says:

    > and I apologize.<

    no need for that. but thanks. what really enrages me these days are my local

  25. geoffb says:

    With this and the Benghazi file scrubbing I wonder is Hillary being setup to be the sin-eater for the progressive left so that they can run someone as having been cleansed and absolved of all the horrors of the Obama years in 2016? And if so is she willing/witting or just the old goat that’s close at hand for the sacrifice?

    – There are many groups with agenda’s, and anything is possible, even probable since the field is as wide open as it could possibly be, but as far as Hillary the young don’t trust her, she’s old and before their time, so even more suspicious. Lacking their support its hard to see her with much of a chance, even without the torpedo efforts.

    – As far as the leaker I expect to see more as Bumblefucks rein of insanity winds down. You just know the unbelievably arrogant way they opporate has to have made this Choom gang countless enemies.

  32. BigBangHunter says:

    geoff, we all know that the left really wants their native american princess, now, don’t we?

    – There was a time when, prior to Obama, she might have been supported as the first women pres (Neolibs always have to have some sort of fucked up cause to act out) but its way past that time now and the young turks are not Lefties, just naive and needy, and sticking it to daddy so they’re not going to be voting for mommy.

    In ISIS and ME news;

    Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday that to counter the ideology of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and its claim of a “religious foundation” for its actions, part of the strategy of the international coalition he is attempting to assemble must be to “begin to put real Islam out there.” Kerry, in Paris for talks with various world leaders to build that coalition, further said that all of the Arab leaders he had spoken with earlier concurred about their focus on “real Islam and how important the Friday sermons are.” The secretary of state recently said that ISIL’s ideology “has nothing to do with Islam” and President Obama echoed these words, saying that “ISIL is not ‘Islamic.'”

    Egypt will hunt down exiled Muslim Brotherhood leaders and seek their arrest, a top official said Sunday, after Qatar ordered them to leave its territory…
    […]
    A Brotherhood member in Qatar, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of concerns for his safety, said the Qataris conveyed to them that they were under constant pressure led by Egypt to serve Egyptian arrest warrants for the Islamists. He said he will travel to Malaysia while other members will be travelling to Britain or Turkey.
    […]
    “Egypt wants to brand the Brotherhood with the stamp of the Islamic State group,” Ihab Shiha said by telephone.

    And in the domestic-politcal wing of the MB/ISIS/Salafist axis:

    House Democrats on the Benghazi Select Committee plan to address lingering public questions surrounding that attack — and drown out any potential leaks with a flood of information — with a new Web site Tuesday, as that panel prepares to meet publicly for the first time.

    Democrats are looking to influence the direction and tone of the committee, which will focus its first open hearing Wednesday on a review board the State Department created after the attack to examine the government’s security systems abroad.

    “It is critical that the Select Committee make full use of the extensive investigations that have already been completed—which are compiled here—to define its scope, avoid duplication, and conserve taxpayer dollars to help improve the security of U.S. facilities and personnel around the world,” House Democrats on the committee wrote in an executive summary of the compendium they are releasing in conjunction with the site.

  34. sdferr says:

    Though I despise the use of the term “real” when it falls from the lips of an imbecile like Kerry, nevertheless for the sake of truth seeking I will echo it when I urge anyone who chooses to seek the real in Islam to watch this BBC documentary (Islam: The Untold Story) from a British historian of Empires who truly seeks the ‘real’ about Islam. It’s one view, shared among some historians, but it is a serious view genuinely worth consideration in light of our present predicament.

  35. Blake says:

    At one point, I was among the camp that thought Islam needed to be reformed, much like Christianity.

    However, I’ve come to realize I was comparing two different things.

    Christianity, in and of itself, did not need reformation. What needed reformation were the people and churches that claimed sole proprietorship of the Word of God. (William Tyndale stands as testament to those who challenged the power of the church)

    Islam, at its core, is fascism disguised as religion. Nothing more, nothing less. Reforming Islam would mean completely dismantling the entire religion. One doesn’t reform fascism. One destroys fascism.

  36. Silver Whistle says:

    The secretary of state recently said that ISIL’s ideology “has nothing to do with Islam” and President Obama echoed these words, saying that “ISIL is not ‘Islamic.’”

    That’s two fatwas from noted imams – must be true then.

  37. Blake says:

    “It is critical that the Select Committee make full use of the extensive investigations that have already been completed—which are compiled here—to define its scope, avoid duplication, and conserve taxpayer dollars to help improve the security of U.S. facilities and personnel around the world,” – House Democrats….

    – I mean hell, we’ve all put our careers on the line here and lied through our teeth for the greater good so don’t go messin’ all that hard work up with facts and truth. Nothin’ to see here, just move along.

    – These desperate bastards are so into covering up they’re stumbling over their own feet and calling the wrong number to do leaks. I’ll bet Cummings would like to be on vacation for the next 2 years.

  39. BigBangHunter says:

    “Well, no really its a duck, and you’all know how fucked up a duck from Crazy ‘Frisco is going to be.

    – I would be very content with just a penny for every time a Prog/Dem used the words “Hitler” and “Bush” in the same sentence over the past 15 years.

    – Maybe what it comes down to these days is you’d have to be a total moron to associate with the Left.

    >Case in point, Jazz.<

    like all proggtard stuff it went to the extreme/unlistenable.

    Most forms of music eventually descend into incoherence and forsake their emotional connection with Normal people. This has happened with Jazz, Classical Music, and Rock And Roll [although there are weak signs that the last may be able to recover].

    Some forms transform, like Country*, which has merged with Modern Pop. The special integrity of the lyrics remain here and there, but the music seems to be factory-created. Too bad; like Blues it had a grand potential to survive because it is truly Folk Music.

    Blues has stood firm, even though it has collaborated with Funk, Jazz, and Soul. It has played ball, as it were, with these other genres, but never merged with them.

  42. geoffb says:

    Islam already had its “reformation.” It happened in the 9th-11th centuries. Three sides were involved and two united to defeat the other and then eliminated all references that it even existed.

    The book “The Closing of the Muslim Mind” details the war. What some call the reformation, the rise of Wahhabi Islam, should be seen as a “great awakening” of the original reformation.

  43. BigBangHunter says:

    “…..and on your right folks you see the statue dedicated to the famous Obama Islamic cluster fuck which preserves the last two years of the Obama presidency when he simply could not deal with the war we were in, or even call it a war, and the problem he had with boots on the ground that seemed to be as invisible as WMD’s in IRAQ….Now if you’ll follow me I’ll take you to the “Hillary/Obama Benghazi dead American’s display” and next we’ll see the equally famous “Fast & Furious” Mexican gun running and border mass murders Federal crimes photo show right next to another with the “IRS used to attack political enemies” presentation.

    Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman: U.S. Combat Troops Could Ride Along With Iraqi Troops During Attacks On ISIS…

    No boots on the ground as they will be riding along, giving advice.

    The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Martin Dempsey, said that the army of the Islamic State is fighting because of “grievances.
    […]
    “The nature of the threat is such that, as I mentioned, it will only be defeated when moderate Arab and Muslim populations in the region reject it. And therefore, the way forward seems to me to run clearly through a coalition of Arab and Muslim partners, and not through the ownership of the United States on this issue. And so the strategy does that,” Dempsey said when asked whether he agrees with President Obama’s plan to degrade and destroy the Islamic State.

    “It seeks to build a coalition, encourage an inclusive government to address the grievances that have caused this in the first place, it applies U.S. military power where we have unique capability to do so, and over time it allows those populations to reject ISIL.”

    So Obama, the ultimate peacemaker, is going to solve/heal the 1300 year old war between the Sunni and the Shia. That’s a mighty big load of hubris to carry around.

  52. bgbear says:

    There is a high concentration of black squirrels around Stanford University and the ratio decreases as you get further away. The office I work at is about 10 miles from the campus and there is maybe 1 black squirrel to every 5 grays.

    At our house 45 miles away, a few black squirrels pop up amongst the grays about every 5 years or so and then blend back into the genome.
