Hillary Shops Wal-Mart
2 comments May 19th, 2007
The New York Times reports about the hidden history of Hillary Clinton’s corporate involvement. Specifically, she served for six years as the first woman appointed to the board of directors of Wal-Mart. What is most interesting about the news story is the revelation that Hillary Clinton, who proclaims herself as the great guardian of the American worker, was in fact supportive of anti-union policies adopted by Wal-Mart.
Two-faced? Yes, but also so typical of the Clintons, both Hillary and Bill. While campaigning for president on a platform of saving the middle-class and working poor from the Republicans, in the absence of T.V. cameras and microphones Senator Clinton is intimately courting the most affluent of tycoons, to invest in her campaign. So, if she makes it into the White House, what will have the most influence on a future Hillary Clinton adminstration? Will it be her promises to the less-well-off, or those who gave the big bucks to pay for her public relations and advertising blitz? You only get one guess.
