Former President Clinton admitted he was wrong about Obamacare becoming popular once it became law. But he is still stumbling in Clueless Land. From the story in The Hill:
Initially, Clinton had predicted that the polls in favor of Democrats would be boosted as soon as the legislation was signed into law. Instead, Clinton said on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” his prediction was wrong for two reasons. “First of all, the benefits of the bill are spread out of three or four years. It takes a long time to implement. And secondly, there has been an enormous and highly effective attack on it,” he said.
Oh, cry me a river. The pro Obamacare side had the bully pulpit of the POTUS, the top names in Congress, the MSM camp followers, and most of the power elites, and so the people were fooled?
It’s actually quite simple: Obamacare is unpopular because it is a bad law and the people don’t want it! Sheesh. None are so blind as those who refuse to see.
