Once a year the TN Democratic Party has a "Jackson" day to honor President Andrew Jackson who is widely considered the founder of the modern Democratic party ( although I think that may really belong to Jefferson). At any rate Archie and I went this year. The keynote speaker was President Clinton, with speeches by Vice President Al Gore, Governor Phil Bredesden, former Congressman Harold Ford Jr. Brilliant evening, and I would encourage everyone who is having the Republican propaganda about health care thrown at them to please READ information from other sources for yourself. There is NO DEATH PANEL, all of these things are the only agenda the Republicans have to prevent everyone from accessing health care since they no longer have the votes for a filibuster they have to try and scare the masses so that everyone runs and tells their congressman, oh no Obamacare for me. Read the offerings for yourself. The link above under Jackson Day has links to explanations about the health care reform bill. I managed to get a couple of photos of Clinton while I waxed nostalgic thinking of how good things were for this country both here and abroad when the Bill and Al show was in office. My retirement investments were doing well, I was probably online to retire after 30 years, of course once W t
ook office and tanked our financial system, and borrowed from SS that doesn't look remotely possible anymore. Gas was just over a buck a gallon, I did a lot of traveling. Another thing of the past. Clinton spoke with that wonderful accent, and wry sense of humor that even 8 years of being hounded by the angry party could not manage to squelch. He reminded the audience that the Democrats are the can do party and that they "only hire us when this country is in a world of hurt". When Clinton/Gore was in office over 22 million jobs were created, during the booming W years 2.5 million were created. For the "spending party" Clinton/Gore managed to save money and have a surplus during their administration, but when the Republicans were completely in charge during the W admin. we have the biggest deficit and biggest government EVER. Don't let the Republicans ever claim to be for small government after that fiasco unless you gag right in front of them.
