Yes, it was the wrong way to do it and the Clintons paid the price. By the way, as I
recall the people who were part of the task force were known, but the meeting were
private. With regard to the Cheney Energy task force, the participants were not known
and the meetings were secret (there is a difference). But back to your main point, the
Clintons made an enormous tactical error with regard to health care reform. They came
off (correctly in my opinion) as arrogant and high handed. They did do better (at
least with regard to this issue) throughout the remaninder of the administration. No
more secret commissions deciding what was best for the country.
You would have thought that the Republicans would have learned from this error.
