Not sure why you think he would need to peel anything off.


In non-clown related news, Bill Clinton calls Obamacare "the craziest thing in the world" and bitches that it's great if you're poor but sucks if you're middle-class. Stay classy and centrist, Bill.  ::)

Where on earth did he even get that idea?

Edit: Okay after hearing it I think I understand where he is coming from.

US private healthcare costs are like twice what they should be.  The US provides medicaid to poor people at a much lower price.  (Of course the quality really varies which he would know as an Arkansaw man).  The US provides Medicare for the retired population at a much lower price then private costs and it's a decent quality.  So it was actually a very foot in mouth rehashing of the Medicare buy in for all idea wrapped up in a typical worship of small business.

My aunt actually thinks Bill might be suffering some something. She noted his expression a lot on TV and how his mouth seems to hang open a lot of time. I forget what she thought he might have. But it wouldn't surprise me if they decide Bill has outlived his usefulness and put him out to the political pasture.

It's hard to say that's because of Obamacare though, isn't it? USA Healthcare inflation was 6.9% from 2000-2009. It hit a low from 2013-2016, where it never went over 3%, but after this April, it's crept back up to ~4.9%, which is about where it was in mid 2012. Growth in costs hasn't been any faster than usual, so I can't see where removing Obamacare from the picture would have saved money overall.

He didn't really blame Obamacare, he just tripped over his words and sounded like he did.

It's kinda neat and scary how close we're getting to Homestuck's ICP-presidency.
He even has orange clownish makeup

Oh but on the veterans thing:  Technically he implied something bad but his message was good.  His intent was pretty clear, and we can't just assume the worst of him.  He's proven himself terrible in enough other ways.

So, Pence wants to 'pull off a Biden' at the debate. My first thought was 'Why would he want to pull off some sort of gaffe?', it actually refers to Bidens performance in 2012.

I guess the challenge would be for him to try and pull it off while not sounding hypocritical at the same time.

If either of the veeps take a page from Biden during the debate it will be great instead of boring, like these two boring, boring losers.

Eh, sure. Is just fairly understandable why some folks are assuming the worst. Or rather, assuming his fairly normal that just happens to resemble what tends to be called the worst :V

Speaking of proven terrible, here's another little slice of history. The "fun" bit is near the bottom of the article.

Also heh. Among the rest of it, I didn't know the new york concrete industry had some organized crime issues, but apparently it does. So we're got iranian terrorist bankrollers and now the no-joke mafia. Anyone want to make bets on what shakes out of his business dealings next?
