Yep, she really went there.
With the release of the latest CNN/ORC poll Thursday, showing Sen. Bernie Sanders takeĀ an eight-point lead over Democratic presidential competitor Hillary Clinton among likely Iowa voters, Clinton is in panic mode.
In a knee-jerk response, she claimed ownership of the Affordable Care Act — Obamacare.
“It was called Hillarycare before it was called Obamacare,ā Clinton told supporters in Vinton, Iowa, Thursday. āI don’t want to start over.”
Amy Chozick, political reporter for The New York Times, tweeted:
“It was called Hillarycare before it was called Obamacare,” @HillaryClinton says.

With all the problems Obamacare created — crippling taxes, escalating premiums, huge fines for non-participation, massive deductibles, failing exchanges and rising co-pays — was it wise for her toĀ want to take credit of it?
People on Twitter didnāt think so.
@amychozick @WillieGeist @HillaryClinton Not something to brag about since so few are happy about OCare. I thought she was smarter. Oh wait

@sdwinkler @CelticCoyote @HillaryClinton @amychozick Hillarycare was mercifully put to death before it could do the harm she had envisioned.

@amychozick @HillaryClinton Because she has NO accomplishments of her own, she’ll take credit for even a bad thing.

Some pointed out that Hillarycare, proposed when she served as first lady, was even worse than the Affordable Care Act.
@amychozick @instapundit @HillaryClinton No. Hillarycare was worse and included an 8% payroll tax and the reduction of specialists

@amychozick @HillaryClinton it was also called BS

The question becomes: is it a case of desperation or is dementia settling in?
