Clinton on Repugs~Stop conducting politics in parallel universe divorced from reality with no facts
Bachmann, congressional Republicans in political ‘parallel universe,’ says Bill Clinton

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, former President Bill Clinton said that Rep. Michele Bachmann’s assertion that the United States has the best health care system in the world is not true and that the new crop of Republicans in Congress are living “in a parallel universe divorced from reality with no facts.” Clinton was responding to comments Bachmann made during her Tea Party response to President Obama’s State of the Union address.

He gave the representative from Minnesota’s Sixth Congressional District as a prime example. “Michele Bachmann said in her Tea Party response to President Obama, ‘Everybody knows we have the greatest health care system in the world,’” he said. “That is factually untrue. And so… that’s not true.”

Clinton continued, “You can get the best health care in the world in America if you are Bill Clinton, or David Gergen or Turki Faisal, but that’s not the same thing as having the best system that works for everybody.”

He added, “I think what America needs as much as anything else is to stop conducting its politics in a parallel universe divorced from reality with no facts.”

2. the comments are amazingly ironic
A bunch of fact-free, right-wing illogical bullshit. These right-wing idiots simply need to shut up and stay in their batcaves where they belong.

4. When Bill Clinton travels abroad people gather and chant "Peace Maker"
He is considered one of the most beloved men on Earth. some even consider him the President of the World..He is most definitely "The Big Dog"
