Interesting. Morning Joe has always come off like a hackish moderate hero to me; we'll see if America agrees or not.

Rodham, Obama Re-Nominated in Charlotte

AP -- September 3, 2012

President Hillary Rodham (D-NY) was re-nominated this evening, along with Vice President Barack Obama. In her speech President Rodham highlighted her presidency so far: her drawdown of troops in Iraq, the death of Osama Bin Laden, and the passage of the NHS. Touting the NHS may come back to hurt the President, as polls show only 43% of Americans have a favorable view of the NHS.

The NHS is nearly identical to the ACA, but also creates a free-to-use, Federally run, medical clinics.

Lol omg, Scarborough goes higher after the DNC? F***.

Joe went up because Hillary focused on the NHS, which most people aren't fans of...yet.

Rodham, Scarborough Debate in Chicago

AP -- October 15, 2012

The first and only debate of the 2012 Presidential Election was held this evening in Chicago. The debate, moderated by CNN’s John King, covered a wide variety of topics but focused mostly on the NHS, set to be fully implemented in 2015. President Hillary Rodham (D-NY) defended her signature piece of legislation, saying that it “provides affordable healthcare” and creates “low-cost medical clinics from coast-to-coast.” Senator Joe Scarborough (R-FL), who voted to repeal the NHS once and abstained from a second vote, said that he would issue a waiver to all 50 states and allow them to “opt-out” of the NHS, should their legislature and Governor chose to do so. Another topic of discussion was the War in Iraq, which both candidates called for a gradual end to. Senator Scarborough said that he would “wait until the generals advised” his to withdraw the troops, while President Rodham promised to “end combat in Iraq” by March 1, 2014. Both candidates continued their support for the War in Afghanistan. In an unprecedented move President Rodham announced that she supported gay marriage “on a personal level”. Senator Scarborough would not state his personal stance on gay marriage, saying that it should be “left up to the states” to decide LGBT laws.
