In what some observers presume is an early sign of a presidential run, over the weekend Hillary Clinton spoke at a high-profile political event for Iowa\u2019s retiring Democratic U.S. Senator Tom Harkin.<\/p>\n
Though Clinton had her own gaffe<\/a>, the biggest surprise was how much credit Harkin heaped on her for passing ObamaCare<\/a> \u2013 even though she wasn\u2019t even in Congress!<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the things she always worked on was advancing this concept, this idea that health care should be a right and not a privilege in this country,\u201d said Harkin. \u201cSo, Hillary was not there when the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, she was of course secretary of state, but I want you all to know that her fingerprints are all over that legislation. It would not have happened without her strenuous advocacy in that committee all those years.\u201d<\/p>\n Any hopes Clinton had of distancing herself from a law that only gets more unpopular is gone. All opponents have to do is show her smiling behind a gushing Harkin to make the connection.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t like ObamaCare? Blame HRC.<\/p>\n No conservative could have said it better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In what some observers presume is an early sign of a presidential run, over the weekend Hillary Clinton spoke at a high-profile political event for Iowa\u2019s retiring Democratic U.S. Senator Tom Harkin.
