Bill Clinton's paean to Hillary.

Discuss!

Well, let me say a couple things:

1. The music gets soooo annoying! About halfway through, I realized I had stopped listening to Bill and was only monitoring the sequence of cornball musical flourishes one and vaguely dreaming of the movie trailer it seemed to belong to. It was some triumphant, heartwarming summer movie that I would avoid like death.

2. Bill completely gave me the impression that Hillary's core policy interest is children's health. Children's health is an important policy interest, but why would I want a President whose core policy interest is children's health? The main idea here is that Hillary is a good person with her heart in the right place. Even if I am willing to be sold that story -- and why should I be? -- I am not going to fall for the notion that we are somehow having an election for Saint of the United States. At most, this ad prepares us to accept her as Secretary of Health and Human Services... even as it acknowledges that her main achievement in the field is a failure. But Bill is good at spinning the failure as an asset. She kept fighting...

3. Really, now, if you've seen the video, tell me: What are her major achievements?
