2. His last 4 sentences need to be the soundbite used
against Mitt. That was classic.

5. Government should be run like a business
One of the biggest lies ever foisted on the American public.

8. BRILLIANT !!!!!! But then, Bill always is! What a great job he does..
on Romney on that show!

Unfortunately, the Romney supporters (and most other Republicans and Teabaggers) don't watch Bill, and wouldn't get most of the jokes.

12. Business experience
Half the time, Business experience doesn’t mean that the person was or could be a good businessman.

Grabbing a car, taking it to a chop shop and walking away with a pocket full of money doesn’t make one an automotive expert.

14. Government is not a business, That point needs to be hammered home.
The notion of the CEO president has been central to the Republican swindle disguised as "cutting costs."

21. I liked it too. Acknowledging some things should not be For Profit.
Edited on Sat Jun-04-11 12:48 PM by Overseas
medical care
prisons
schools

I would add military services-- when we did those things in-house we got double duty for our tax dollars-- job training for soldiers after they left the military-- how to cook for hundreds, doing electrical wiring on base, etc. Instead we got profit skimmed off the top, moldy food served to our troops and soldiers electrocuted in their showers.

The HBO site isn't carrying that particular segment.
