Bill was not out of line there. Not at all.

He could have disagreed in a much more respectful way. Did he have to bring out the finger?

Nooooooooo­oooooooooo­ooo, not The Finger!!! LOL!

I think you crazy people think his finger is his wang. No, it's not, you sexuallly crazy people.

For allowing his temper to show, he was way out of line! We have all seen McCain's and Bill's tempers. Sorry, we need someone more level-headed.

really? A voter voices a concern about health care and points out that after the Clinton administration worked very hard but failed to deliver in 1993, they never tried again in the next 7 years, and he belittles her?
This is a former President of the United States getting red faced and yelling at a voter. That is out of line and a bit disturbing. Bill Clinton used to be able to deflect these sorts of comments with humor and charm that would make even the person asking the question smile a little, now he just yells? It is worrying.

I agree, what? We are supposed to swallow all of their BS and just bow down to them like they are royalty? He forgets how HE was elected and who stood by him through his rough patches. He and Hillary are ungrateful, self-serving, arrogant elitists that think they have the final word in every conversation.

Way to win votes for your wife, yelling at prospective voters.

Excuse me, Bill was speaking and a heckler starts yelling. He listens, then he rebuts the point. End of story.

Not a good representative for Senator Obama, eh?

I don't care who she supports, that audience member misstated the facts.

Hillary did work extremely hard to fix health care, from the moment her husband was inaugurated. It's true she did not deliver the product; maybe it was impossible with all the money of the health care industry against her; but she did try.

You go Bill. Nobody should get away with spreading lies or, I'm going to give this audience member the benefit of the doubt, misunderstanding.

[sydney01]

Actually, she worked really hard on it until it was clear that it wouldn't fit into Bill's balanced budget plan, then she dropped it. She actually tried to get Kennedy to drop it as well, but he finished the job and got SCHIP going. Time had an article about this a while ago.

[abigail1]

that's not what she said at all. She said that after the Clinton's tried and failed to reform health care they never tried again. Which is true. He served 7 years after Hillary's proposal to reform health care went bust and never tried again.

Regardless, do you really think it is appropriate for him to yell at a voter? Really?

[TNT2008]

Yeah, like Obama called her and asked her to state her feelings! What a joke! Spin, spin, spin!
