The same parallel universe where Bill Clinton “did not have sexual relations with that woman Miss Lewinksy”?

(Washington Independent) — At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, former President Bill Clinton said that Rep. Michele Bachmann’s assertion that the United States has the best health care system in the world is not true and that the new crop of Republicans in Congress are living “in a parallel universe divorced from reality with no facts.” Clinton was responding to comments Bachmann made during her Tea Party response to President Obama’s State of the Union address.

“I don’t like the people who have given up on us because people have been betting against our country for 200 years,” he told the attendees at the World Economic Forum, a yearly gathering of top international business, political and humanitarian leaders. “So far everyone who has bet against us has lost money because we had a remarkable ability to keep coming back.”

“On the other hand,” said Clinton, “I don’t like what I see being set up as one of the main themes that the new Republicans are trying to set up in the 2012 elections which is they know America is a truly exceptional country and all these wussy Democrats don’t.”

He gave the representative from Minnesota’s Sixth Congressional District  as a prime example. “Michele Bachmann said in her Tea Party response to President Obama, ‘Everybody knows we have the greatest health care system in the world,’” he said. “That is factually untrue. And so… that’s not true.”
