When you’re in trouble, who are you going to call? When it’s economics, it’s William Jefferson Clinton. No one around does it better, and with health care in the balance, he made the case on the most practical of terms:
Clinton argued that even “the most cold-hearted person” ought to support health care reform simply from an economic standpoint. He reminded Democrats of the political momentum their failure to pass reform in 1993 delivered the House of Representatives to the Republicans the following year.
“The point I want to make is: Just pass the bill, even if it’s not exactly what you want,” Clinton told Democrats. “When you try and fail, the other guys write history.” …
Good for Rahm Emanuel, as well as Harry Reid, for getting former President Clinton to the Senate. A huge tip of the hat to Pres. Obama who knew that no one can talk to the Blue Dogs in the Senate like Bubba.
