Rush Limbaugh: Bill Clinton undercuts President Obama


I read the article, Rush Limbaugh: Bill Clinton undercuts President Obama.  This article talks about what Rush Limbaugh, a Republican, thought about Bill Clinton saying “I personally believe even if it takes a change in the law, the president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they got”.  During his show on Tuesday November 12th, he told his listeners that this Bill Clinton quote shows “how the mighty have fallen” meaning that the problems surrounding Obamacare are so strong and are bring about so much bad press and PR for the Democratic party that big members of it are now turning on the current president in hopes of helping the Democratic candidate in 2016.  He also talks about how it is really a kick in the gut to Obama that he is “being lectured to about honesty and integrity from a convicted perjurer".  The last thing Rush Limbaugh discussed on his show was what is the point of Bill Clinton now coming out and inserting himself into a conversation that he should of just kept his mouth shut in.  Especially since he is "basically [acknowledging] that the president, Barack Obama, lied to people" and how "now it’s up to the president to honor his commitment [and] change the lie?”  The only possible explanation is that he is trying to support Hilary Clinton, who is discussing a white house bid in 2016, which doesn't even make sense since she will not be running against Obama since this is his second term.  Bill Clinton is just one Democrat on a list of many who have recently come out in favor of legislation that would allow people to keep their current coverage, which in the end makes the future look very troubling for work that President Obama hopes to accomplish.

  1. I believe that Bill Clinton made this statement to support Hillary. He wants to make his own stand aside from our current president's. He pointed out the problems that Obamacare has faced thus far and challenged the president for not keeping his promise to the people. The only reasoning that he would do this would be to say that he and Hillary are not in total agreement with President Obama and that they would've handled it differently.
