Hillary Clinton: I've Had One Concussion, But Paul Ryan Has Had Three

Hillary Clinton says she doesn't have any lingering effects from her 2012 concussion, which has been used to question her health ahead of a potential 2016 presidential run.
In fact, she told People magazine in an excerpt published by Politico's Mike Allen, another potential 2016 contender -- Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) -- has told her that he's suffered at least three concussions.
I did have a concussion and some effects in the aftermath of it, mostly dizziness, double vision. Those all dissipated," Clinton said when asked if she felt any continuing symptoms. She added that she was continuing to take blood thinning medication to address the blood clot, a result of her fall and concussion, that hospitalized her in 2012.
"It was funny: At the inauguration for President Obamas second term, I was standing [with] Paul Ryan. I said, Congressman, I read that youre a great athlete. Have you ever had a concussion? Oh, yeah. Three at least,'" Clinton said. "I said, Were they serious? He said, One was really serious. Im so grateful to my mother, because she said, Youre grounded. Youre going to rest until it goes away. And of course it did.'"

All the people that will die from this, well, they just don't count as far as he's concerned.
Lyin' Ryan is following the dogma from his goddess, Ayn Rand. Biden didn't care for it at all:
There was a viral RW response to Biden over that debate and we find some denigrating him and his son here. Coincidence or just serendipity for the RW? The tone is the same.

(20,176 posts)if I were running for Pres/VP, I'd want Biden to be my debate coach. Everybody, even the President, should take lessons from that man. He sends fools to their political graves and looks cool doing it.

(59,501 posts)she mentioned. Because, they will not take a Democrat producing real information at face value.
If they are willing to distort a photo - referring to a walker - when it was a chair, they will make up anything. Not to mention, FDR was an exceptional President in his wheelchair.

(53 posts)Her comments are tame compared to the words I would use to describe that smug, racist, sexist jerk. I cannot believe that guy nearly got elected back in 2012. Actually, I hope he does run in 2016, so that a Democratic victory will be pretty much guaranteed.

Smart people appreciate smart advice, they don't feel threatened by it.
