Build-A-Resume: Hillary Clinton
I was inspired by the recent Huffington Post item on Hillary’s co-called 35 years of experience to take a look at her record for myself.
The Huffington Post did a great job looking at the 35 year thing so I won’t retrace those steps but there’s some other gems in her background.
For example she was on the board at Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart, known for paying women less than men, using bribe money to get around municipal laws, and selling the products of child labour. You’ll note these issues largely came to light long after she left the board. So either she was unaware (read: ignorant) of these issues or didn’t want to change them. Oh wait, there’s that magic buzzword of the year, change. Hmmm.
She has the dubious honour of having been the only First Lady ever to be subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury. Well, I guess that technically IS change. Score one for Hillary.
Fun Fact: she was born in the state Obama represents.
In 1960 she discovered voter fraud against Nixon while supporting the Republican party.
I would like to point out that not all change is automatically good change.
