[When Hillary Clinton] served on the board of Walmart in the late 80s and early 90s she did nothing to push back against the companies aggressively anti-union policies.Sigh. Despite my foaming at the mouth over the possibility of a Democratic ticket led by Hillary Clinton, I really do like the Clintons, thought Bill was a terrific president, and believe they were the target of some really scuzzy partisan attacks from the right.
[A New York Times story] shows Bill Clinton mixing fundraising for his foundation with allowing international tycoons to trade on his friendship to secure international mining concessions in Kazakhstan.
Ok...now...that said, these two stories - especially the one involving Bill - are prime examples of why I've been foaming at the mouth over a Hillary candidacy. There is too much to do - a huge mess to clean up - to spend the next four to eight year fighting the meaningless partisan battles of the 1990s...a fight that could very well sour American voters on a Democratic Party that can't help themselves when it comes to the Clintons, and give the Republicans the keys to the government for yet another generation.
I am not saying that Barack Obama is a saint. No politician is. But the Republicans don't have the vitriol for him that they do for the Clintons, and that fact alone would help a "President Obama" tremendously when he takes office.
