Ninga's JournalCoffee Talk #2: Bill Clinton style Triangulation.
The current flap about whether Bill Clinton's remark "letting people keep their health insurance"
was good for 2014 candidates and thus Hillary because it provided "distance" between them and Obamacare..supposedly another genius Bill Clinton move...
I am not in the triangulation camp. I think it's time for our party to grow a pair when it comes to correcting or reworking Obamacare because at the end of the day 2014 candidates can take credit for the fix...as opposed to triangulation a GOP creation.
Coffee Talk: so, anyone besides me think that the "big dog" stepped on it by
suggesting that folks should be able to keep their insurance?
I thought that the code among former Presidents' when it came to criticism was omertà - silence.
If the President wants to change policy -or not - it is up to him. Everyone in a while Clinton makes me cringe.
For the past 40 years, I trusted 60 Minutes reporting and in-depth research.
No more.
I've added 60 Minutes to my "nah, don't want to waste my time" viewing list where it joins Morning Joe (because of sell-out Mika), Meet The Press, and other associated network blah blab blah GOP cheering sections.
Life is funny. I am now back to where I started, mostly reading and being highly selective when it comes to opinion TV.
I trust Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow, Steve Kornacki, Melissa-Harris Perry because they provide attribution to their commentary.
I used to trust 60 Minutes.
Bye-bye
Christie is the new W. Bush do not mis-underestimate him for ONE minute.
"ha" we said when we learned Bush was running!
But voters thought he was an "Everyman" good to have a few beers with.
Then the election was so close - that the doofus slipped in and stole it right from under our noses while we bent over and took it...while we sat quietly home not believing what was happening.
Christie must be taken seriously, otherwise we will get fucked by the big guy while Mary Pat gleefully flashes her mouthful of teeth.
Remember where you heard it.
