SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Hillary Clinton is patting herself on the back for proposing a health-care plan that is much more politically astute than her 1993 Rube Goldberg effort. She told an audience in New York this week: "I think I have successfully thought through all of the objections and pre-empted them."
Sen. Clinton claims she now realizes she'll need actual votes to pass something. But traces of the old Hillary remain. "I wish it were possible to just wave a magic wand and say from the White House, 'Here's what I want.' But that's not the way it works," she told the Associated Press.
--snip--
The real test may be her willingness to accept some market-oriented GOP proposals such as tax-free savings accounts for health care and a curb on frivolous liability lawsuits as the price for the bipartisan support she now claims to want. Now that really would be a New Hillary.

And brain-dead too!
Hildabeaste: “I wish it were possible to just wave a magic wand and say from the White House, ‘Here’s what I want.’ But that’s not the way it works.”
And please, dear God, may it ever be so.
Last January, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger proposed an eerily similar plan using the same rhetoric and even the same slogan adopted by Mrs. Clinton to describe hers: "Shared Responsibility."
For the greater good and all, ya know.
Free health care is not a constitutional “right.” The federal government forcing health insurance on the people is NOT an enumerated constitutional power. The feds should stay out it. It’s none of their business.
More government is never the solution.
Sorry, Hill. If I want a health care system that looks like King/Drew, er, King/Harbor, um, whatever they’re calling that deathtrap this week, I’ll let you know, mmkay?
More government is never the solution.
Hillary will only accept “market processes” which are meaningless, or even counter productive. And then she’ll blame those processes for the failure of her health plan to fix the problem.
The woman is revolting— in every aspect.

Yikes...Sorry, the 2002 "Quinta De Chocopalha Reserva" is a better vintage than I remember...

Wasn't it the Clinton White House that gave us the statement, "Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kinda neat."
She told an audience in New York this week: “I think I have successfully thought through all of the objections and pre-empted them.”
Did she “pre-empt” the fact that she has no moral or legal right to seize my property at the point of a gun to buy votes for her election?
“Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kinda neat.”
That embrace of raw Hitlerian fascism is a quote by
“Paul Joseph BeGoebbels” (Begala)
aka The Forehead
Thanks, I kinda remembered what was said, forgot who said it.
The only difference between waving a magic wand and “Stroke of a pen, law of the land” is that magic wands are usually associated with witches.
“The real test may be her willingness to accept some market-oriented GOP proposals such as tax-free savings accounts for health care and a curb on frivolous liability lawsuits as the price for the bipartisan support she now claims to want.”
While she is at it, how about a tax free savings account for retirement and let me opt out of Social Security?
