Fiesty stuff from President Michael D. Higgins on Newstalk Radio two years ago in a debate with Michael Graham where he condemns the Tea Party approach to Health Care in the United States. Apparently it is getting popular on YouTube. Though it was recorded long before our own Presidential Election last year, I do feel that if it got the same publicity then he would have been a shoo-in from the beginning (instead of winning after the Seán Gallagher implosion).
Though I did not vote for Higgins, I do admire his energy, passion, and strong convictions on the provision of at least some basic health care for all (which the Tea Party opposes). He tears the Tea Party apart in this interview. President Obama should start using this YouTube clip in his campaign!
