- iplayyouandme, on 02/04/2008, -4/+123This is part of that so-called 35 years of experience. Actually, she also has less time in ELECTED office than Obama. Hillary has 8 years and Obama has 12.
- MillionsLivio, on 02/04/2008, -15/+66Further evidence for why I hate that bitch.
- iplayyouandme, on 02/04/2008, -4/+43Substance over style? Is that the latest Clinton viral talking point? What substance does Hillary have over Obama when Hillary has less time in elected office than Obama?
Is her failed 1st attempt at national healthcare a plus for experience? Is her failed judgement to authorize the war a plus for experience? Is this the substance we're talking about?
All three of the major democratic candidates had the same issues with very similar solutions that we could all live with. Now with Edwards out we have to chose the person who can united us as a nation to get the results we desire; democrats and republicans. The Clintons can't do that. They will energize the republican base and even if they beat McCain, the Clintons will bring that polarizing fight with them into the White House.
Do we really need a president who will continue to polarize us as a nation? Do we need more of the same? - Sonneball, on 02/04/2008, -3/+34Why would you want to elect someone for President who worked for the worst company in the world? All you have to do is walk in a Wal-Mart and see your future in this country if she does.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -0/+29To hear Hillary Clinton talk, she's spent her entire career putting her Yale Law School degree to work for the common good.
She routinely tells voters that she's "been working to bring positive change to people's lives for 35 years." She told a voter in New Hampshire: "I've spent so much of my life in the nonprofit sector." Speaking in South Carolina, Bill Clinton said his wife "could have taken a job with a firm . . . . Instead she went to work with Marian Wright Edelman at the Children's Defense Fund."
The overall portrait is of a lifelong, selfless do-gooder. The whole story is more complicated -- and less flattering.
Clinton worked at the Children's Defense Fund for less than a year, and that's the only full-time job in the nonprofit sector she's ever had. She also worked briefly as a law professor.
Clinton spent the bulk of her career -- 15 of those 35 years -- at one of Arkansas' most prestigious corporate law firms, where she represented big companies and served on corporate boards.
Neither she nor her surrogates, however, ever mention that on the campaign trail. Her campaign Web site biography devotes six paragraphs to her pro bono legal work for the poor but sums up the bulk of her experience in one sentence: "She also continued her legal career as a partner in a law firm."
The full truth doesn't fit into the carefully crafted narrative the campaign has developed about Clinton, said Sally Bedell Smith, the author of "For Love of Politics," a study of the Clintons' partnership.
"She wants to be seen as someone who has devoted her life to public service," Smith said. "I suppose if you say it enough, maybe you can get people to believe it."
Spokesman Phil Singer said the campaign highlights Clinton's side work because it discovered early on that voters didn't know about it.

While Clinton was on the Board, small towns all over America began complaining that Wal-Mart was squeezing out ma-and-pa stores and leaving little burgs throughout the Midwest and South with downtowns that featured little more than empty storefronts. "I'm always proud of Wal-Mart and what we do and the way we do it better than anybody else," Hillary said at a June 1990 stockholders meeting. Clinton will keep $20,000 in campaign donations from Wal-Mart executives, and Bill Clinton has regular private meetings with Wal-Mart's current CEO.

http://www.motherjones.com/mojoblog/archives/2008/ ... - phr33ksho, on 02/04/2008, -5/+28Her opinion on Wal-Mart seems awfully simmilar to her opinion on the Iraq war - It seemed like a good idea at the time. During the 6 years she was on the board of Wal-Mart she never spoke up against their anti-union policies, but now she won't take money from them and decries their stance on unions. This is clearly the behavior of someone who is looking out for #1, and will say whatever is most advantageous to her at the time. Obviously when she was on the board of directors, it was good for her career to keep quiet about their anti-union policies. Now that she is a democratic politician, she must support unions, so she says that walmart is bad. If she is president, I'm sure it will be a better country for Hillary, but what about the rest of us?
- obliviousfool, on 02/04/2008, -2/+20Did you watch the video?
- danthegrant, on 02/04/2008, -3/+18Michelle Obama isn't running for president.
- aliengoods, on 02/04/2008, -3/+14She was working for Walmart while Bill was the governor or Arkansas. And she claims 35 years of experience, which would include her time at Walmart (unless she had a lemonade stand as a child that I'm not aware of).
Also, she didn't manage a damn thing. She was on the board of a company that built its success on the backs of child laborers and screwing over American companies when they could get product X for a nickel cheaper in China. She knows this because she is now trying to distance herself from Walmart. You don't do that if the company has a strong, ethical background.
So what exactly was your point? - N3tw0rk, on 02/04/2008, -1/+11Point well taken phr33ksho, (+1). But I must point out, Hillary is still taking money from Wal-Mart. As jamesalfaro pointed out above, Clinton will keep $20,000 in campaign donations from Wal-Mart executives, and Bill Clinton has regular private meetings with Wal-Mart's current CEO.
- reuscel, on 02/04/2008, -3/+13Just the possibility that our country's leadership would have "member of the board at Wal-Mart" on their resume is absolutely frightening.
- inactive, on 02/04/2008, -6/+13If Ma and Pa can't compete with Wal Mart, their store is overpriced, inefficient, and not meant to be. Things change.
- Kenzan, on 02/04/2008, -4/+11I understand that some people dislike her as a choice for president,
but what's up with all the hard-core misogynistic remarks? - rocketman42, on 02/04/2008, -2/+9Shhhh, you might make her cry again. What's that? Oh, too late...
- kamau84, on 02/04/2008, -0/+7The source isn't YouTube (like the headline says) it's ABC News. People don't know how to write headlines on this site. You don't need journalism school to do it right.
- itsbob, on 02/04/2008, -1/+86 years on the board and she didnt know what their union and import policies were?
4-8 years in the White house... - clownguyx, on 02/04/2008, -1/+8She should have worked in the store, then she would be able to see the real America...and how sick our culture is.
http://www.wallyworldlife.com - broodking, on 02/04/2008, -4/+11one more reason to hate Walmart
one more reason to vote for Olbama - skipdog172, on 02/04/2008, -4/+11The ignorance on Wal-Mart is pretty pathetic. You may think you are "stickin it to the man" but Wal-Mart hate is very stupid.
No Mom & Pop store can provide prices as low as Wal-Mart, and NO Mom & Pop store can PAY as well as Wal-Mart(Some people seem to think Wal-Mart pays minimum wage and provides no benefits: an absolute lie, it is certainly the most high-paying job that a worker with no skills can achieve. They get paid more than local grocery/retail stores).
SKILL-LESS workers do not simply "deserve" to get paid a bunch more. It makes no sense.
NOBODY WHO WORKS AT WAL-MART IS IN POVERTY! If they want to get paid more, they should develop some skills and find another job. - inactive, on 02/04/2008, -2/+7Join the Club.
- lamprey187, on 02/04/2008, -3/+8yeah, sitting on the board of the richest company in the US as a Union busting lawyer and then going into politics and pandering for Union support is no big deal right ????
- skelly6, on 02/04/2008, -2/+7Almost 700 digs right now, and the youtube video has 293 views. wtf? I'm no Clinton fan (go Obama!), but come on - if you're going to comment and/or dig something, shouldn't you at least glance at it first?
- skaldicpoet9, on 02/04/2008, -0/+5Seems like a lot of fluff to me. The reason I don't like Wal-Mart isn't due to the fact that they may or may not use third-world sweatshops. Or that they mistreat their employees. If I can't see these thing then I really can't pass judgment. What I can see though is that Wal-Mart is just about the most impersonal place that one can go to shop, yes, even with their "greeters", I know that this is the case with most big corporate retailers but Wal-Mart just turns me off because they feel so...fake. I could really care less about what for all I know could be speculation what I know is that Wal-Mart makes me feel uncomfortable.
- qwerter, on 02/04/2008, -0/+5You're not helping.
- wheezyninja, on 02/04/2008, -0/+5N3tw0rk is right, but to add on to Net's point it's more than just a change in behavior it's a change of convenience, it's a matter of doing one thing while marketing it another way. Some of the best minds have gone into making things seem like what they are, from the Nazi's to Rove (yes I went there) and now the Clinton's, spin masters at they're best, but at least with the information age and the Internet we can get word out quickly, if not always the most accurate word
- inactive, on 02/04/2008, -2/+5Show me when she acted as union busting lawyer.
- peestandingup, on 02/04/2008, -3/+6Yeah, right. And Im sure over those 6 years she knew none of this? *****. Oh she knew, but she was also a shareholder. Now, I guess since there's no denying it & she's off the board, she's "against" it. Tell us another one, you ***** snake.
There's your candidate, folks. Keep voting for people like her & McCain & see where we end up. - inactive, on 02/05/2008, -0/+3Yep, the promotion of China friendly trade policy was all a big accident in the Clinton administration.
Hope you demos do your homework before putting another Clinton in office...... - brundlefly76, on 02/04/2008, -0/+3I don't think its full of spin at all, it just identifies the issue and the valid reasons for some people's concerns, but doesn't draw conclusions.
Although usually when 'dirt' is dug up on a candidate I am like 'who cares about THAT?', this one is valid I think - especially for a democratic candidate.
Alot of people - especially Dems, have some really strong opinions about Walmart, so, as a candidate, if you worked there for 6 years on the Board Of Directors without disclosing that to voters, its not an innocent oversight - you've buried it.
However, it was from 86-92, not exactly the 'season of villianny' for Walmart. Hell our state didnt even HAVE a Walmart in 1992. I didnt even know what it was. As such, I wouldnt want to make anything of her tenure without something specifically pinned to her.
As for Korean clothing being on a made in america rack - everyone knows that could just as well been the mistake of some minimum-wage floor clerk - and probably more so - then a board members fault./ - heystoopid, on 02/04/2008, -0/+3Nice program to hide the real fact that all jobs were being outsourced to lo cost countries like Laos , Vietnam , mainland China and so forth and she was a paid for mouth piece to ensure the transition went unnoticed by all !
That woman truly wears the mask of Janus well ! - defwheezer, on 02/04/2008, -0/+3Hillary's WalMart linkage further supports the Lizard hypothesis: http://youtube.com/watch?v=BeakPO1ci98
- theskyisblue, on 02/04/2008, -1/+4it's official: idiots are more annoying than any kind of spam
- barkus, on 02/04/2008, -0/+3You really think that people who work for minimum wage are not living in poverty?
You have no idea what you're talking about. - phr33ksho, on 02/04/2008, -0/+3Unions are not about whether or not employees are skilled. They are about the ability for workers to collectively bargain with their emloyers for fair pay and reasonable working conditions and benefits. My issue is that Wal-Mart has a long record of terminating workers who try to form unions, and using legal tactics to prevent unions from starting. This is unethical as an employer should NOT fear its employees, and the workers clearly have a right to unionize without fear of reprisal.
- heystoopid, on 02/04/2008, -0/+3That which is swept under the carpet often returns to bite one in the ass big time !
Let the ass biting continue unabated ! - inactive, on 08/11/2008, -0/+3Oh. My. God.

This statement should be put as a disclaimer on Digg's video section, or something - inactive, on 02/04/2008, -0/+3Some TV psychic.
- DinosWillDie13, on 02/04/2008, -1/+4No kidding. She rags on Obama about changing his policies, and here she is...
- SkinnerBox, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2VOTE!
- mochaman, on 02/04/2008, -1/+3What a fraud "Buy America" campaign was when in fact the cloth was created on the back of sweatshops that employed minors.
Nice job Walt-Mart, say no to exploitation.
- inactive, on 02/04/2008, -0/+2http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Hillary_Clinton_ ...
This sort of *****. - inactive, on 02/04/2008, -1/+3Walmart: Send your money and jobs to china and get slightly time delayed landfill in return. great deal!
- Godlike, on 02/04/2008, -0/+2Many people already know the story (or parts of it) and/or can't access it from work.
- danomagnum, on 02/04/2008, -1/+3Exactly, Labor Unions are to protect skilled laborers, not bagboys.
- wheezyninja, on 02/04/2008, -0/+2ditto
- jesuswuzanalien, on 02/05/2008, -1/+327 years of PMSing and 8 years of being a bitch.
- lamprey187, on 02/05/2008, -0/+2Hillary is corrupt beyond words. She will sell us all up the river if elected.
- RustInPeace, on 02/04/2008, -1/+3Don't you see? There is no real democrats or republicans in Washington they have all stray from the ideals that started the party. We keep falling for there fluff they talk about nothing on these so called "debates". Ask someone why they like Hillary, obama, McCain, huckabee or Romney and they will give you shallow reason why they will vote for them. We are headed to an economic disaster we see it coming and most idiots just stay the course even though that cause the problem in the first place. we donut need universal health care because when you give the government more power THEY USE IT AGAINST YOU. Time and time again the ignorant public will make this mistake and we all have to pay for it. Even us informed people.
I love Mike Gravel's Honesty I love Ron Paul's plan for personal and economic freedom. Support someone with substance. -
