Perry said the "effort" was commendable. He never endorsed the "approach".

The "efforts" were secretive. That's what we knew about the Clinton "effort" on April 6 1993.

Secret efforts by left-wing ideologues to reform health care aren't commendable. Most of us knew that at that time.

I'm not sure if you are being serious or not.

In case you are, Perry is clearly stating that the general effort to reform healthcare was commendable. In other words, it was a good idea to try to fix a system that everyone admits has flaws.

He neither endorsed her approach to the problem nor the end product that she ultimately presented.

If Perry had come out and said he thought national healthcare was a great idea and he was thrilled Hillary was moving in that direction, then I would be right there with you in my outrage.

But, he didn't. Not then. Not now. Not ever.

There literally is no story here. None.
