His son confirmed the death but did not provide an immediate cause. In a statement in February 2023, the Carter Center said the former president, after a series of hospital stays, would stop further medical treatment and spend his remaining time at home under hospice care. He had been treated in recent years for an aggressive form of melanoma skin cancer, with tumors that spread to his liver and brain.

Um, not even close. Clinton and Obama gave a damn about looking like they gave a damn. Clinton did almost as much damage to this country as Reagan, and would have done more of his presidency wasn't sidelined by a blowjob. The best thing Obama did was implement a right wing healthcare plan from the same Heritage Foundation that brought us project 2025. He set the stage for the private capital takeover of healthcare that's driving up prices and driving Doctors to leave practice entirely.

People really don't understand how incredibly evil Clinton was. NAFTA was the worst thing to happen to the concepts of labor rights in the US, and the crime bill was just Jim Crow under a new name.
