Going into the lion's den

Clinton has taken a lot of flak for going onto FOX news. As has Obama, as he has begun giving interviews. I do agree, as far as I don't consider them all that serious news sources, like I feel about Drudge and his rumor mill.

But as much as Clinton took for going onto O'Reilly's show. She deserves credit for taking him on on a issue near and dear to many of us. Health Care.

Crooks and Liars: (with video)

Hillary Clinton doesn’t bite when BillO tries to bully her into admitting that her health care plan would “bankrupt the country.” In fact, she quickly shuts down his straw man argument and schools him on why providing quality health care to all Americans is a moral issue while explaining clearly how she intends to pay for it.

...

“If we don’t [pass universal health care], we’ll meet here again in five or ten years, we’ll have more uninsured people, the prices will have continued to go up because we will not have put into place the safeguards and the accountability that our health care system needs.”

Credit where credit is due. And denunciation where it is due.
