At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, former President Bill Clinton said that Rep. Michele Bachmanns 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 Obamas State of the Union address.
I dont like the people who have given up on us because people have been betting against our country for 200 years, he told the attendees at the World Economic Forum, a yearly gathering of top international business, political and humanitarian leaders. So far everyone who has bet against us has lost money because we had a remarkable ability to keep coming back.
On the other hand, said Clinton, I dont like what I see being set up as one of the main themes that the new Republicans are trying to set up in the 2012 elections which is they know America is a truly exceptional country and all these wussy Democrats dont.
He gave the representative from Minnesotas 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 thats 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 thats not the same thing as having the best system that works for everybody.

“It poses a national security threat in two ways: it undermines our capacity to act in our own interest, and it does constrain us where constraint may be undesirable,” Clinton said in response to a question after her address to the Council on Foreign Relations think tank.
At least they aren’t jerking off in a sink after playtime with an intern and a cigar, Bill.
Bubba should try the NHS or Canada (like the little people) when his stents eventually get clogged up. I hope Clinton will have to experience treatment in a hall on a gurney after waiting a day or two. This guy is pure scum and all self respecting physicians should refuse to treat these monsters.
That Clinton made these comments about Bachmann at Davos makes me feel good....Davos is the annual gathering of Free Trade Communists, America-hating Globalists, and other assorted mouth-breathing UN/WTO flunkies.
When George Soros is the featured annual speaker at Davos...you know Davos is never good for America
I think I'll go with the New Jersey cop plan, or the US congress plan? No, wait.......The California State Legislature plan! That's the one I want.
Parallel Universe!
Only if Spock has a beard.
Bill was releasing his inner demons, in a biohazard approved recepticle, approved by the Washington DC Depatrment of wastewater treatment, IAW applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
Now if he spilled milk, that would have required a spill notification to the EPA.
Proof that liberty and prosperity are alien to the left.
The parallel universe is the one in which you can figuratively and literally soil the honor of the Presidency, while helping to pervert the sexual culture of the Nation’s youth....and get away with it.
Ex-Presidents are expected to keep distance from the political process, so for once in your life, Bill, learn to STFU.
Probably Makarov FMJ
They’re in the universe of common sense, Bill, which your fellow Democrats have yet to visit.
Hard to keep up with these liars.
Even Jimmy Carter thought Clinton an idiot so what does that tell you?
The Horndog speaks.
OK, then Clintoon- If we don’t have the best health care system in the world, who does?
Raped anyone lately?
Bill, Hill, Obama, Nancy, et. al. have no moral compass. To them, the world is about political expedience: make a deal, get what you can, break it, make a new deal, repeat. People like Ms. Bachmann completely confound them. They don’t understand how a fellow “traveler” politician can have moral certitude and actually be able to act upon it. To Bill, all of Life is a game, with no right or wrong.
Save on bullets. That's best for everyone too.
The Oligarchs are more afraid of American Constitutional Government than the Taliban itself...
