It is disingenuous to throw Clinton in with the Republican reactionaries (Reagan, Bush, Gramm, Gingrich and their ilk). Remember that Clinton attempted to overhaul America's commodity-driven health system, but was thwarted by the successful obstruction tactics employed by the now-discredited reactionary Congressional leadership along with a powerful media movement led by the FOXes and Rush the Opiate Addict. The reactionaries controlled the Executive for 20 of the past 28 years. During Clinton they fought a very bitter and successful obstructionist campaign... and Bill sure as hell didn't help himself. The reactionaries drove the agenda that have landed us with these dreary prospects, and we are entitled to pin the fetid bloom on their Brooks Bros lapels.
