Anybody want to watch a video with Hillary pimpin Wal-Mart?
I found this when I was looking for the picture below.....

Oh, Wouldn't the First Lady of Arkansas be a good fit on Wal-Mart's Boars of Directors, a company that happens to be based in Arkansas......Bush-Lite for sure...



In 1990, Hillary Rodham Clinton was the only woman on the board at Wal-Mart, a company based in Arkansas, where she was first lady.

22. Although I don't support Walmart I know several people who come from rural towns
where they praise the day that Walmart came into town. It provided jobs, cheap goods and boosted the economy. Not a bad deal.

26. And in the small towns where I have lived
I've seen the small mom and pop stores disappear, and union held jobs go by the wayside to be replaced by lower paying jobs at WalMart. Did you know that if you work for WalMart and quit, they will never hire you back? So where are the great jobs then? And when WalMart moves from a smaller store to a larger one, those empty stores remain unused by anyone, and prove a loss to those who rented the stores to WalMart. The county where I live now is PROUD to not have a WalMart anywhere in its borders.

23. But barack also gets his income from the same source and she goes out giving hypocritcal
speeches. Demand she quit or return the checks just like you attack Bill's income and I'll believe you.

3. You know, when Clinton started with Walmart. Sam Walton was still there...
Walmart is not a bad word. Or it wasn't way way back when. Sam was actually pro-American-made if I remember right.

Made in the USA promotion, and pledged that he would only buy from US companies unless none produced something he needed to sell. But after he died, his heirs took the low road and were interested only in making as much money as possible.

4. Note also that she's at Sam Walton's right hand
I know that the conmen of AR-3 have gotten the majority of their funding from the Walton Foundation and other Wal-Mart foundations. Wal-Mart was able to get their own airport, away from everyone and everything, causing the perfectly good airport in Fayetteville to be basically abandoned. The Wal-Marts around here, which are the oldest of the chain, have a negative feel, a feel of sadness and desperation on the part of the employees. About twice a year I have to go to Wal-Mart #2 because of an emergency, and the feeling hasn't changed. I've noted that lately not so many folks are shopping there. My local pharmacist regularly undersells Wal-Mart, and I love it. This guy is in charge of downtown revitalization and beautification, and he's done a wonderful job-farmer's markets, art fairs, festivals, and every store on the square is occupied.

12. I posted it to show that there is life after WalMart
for small towns. It took a while, and a town effort, but the downtown is coming back. Forgot to mention the old movie theater, which has become a venue for live stage performances. One of the local bands actually set the World Record for longest rock and roll set to raise the funds which saved the theater. The local garden society and the Lion's Club take care of mini-gardens at the corners of the square. There's a regular "blue plate special" diner and a gourmet restaurant, a health food store, and a gazebo for band concerts. A lot of different groups get together to make the town work. And WalMart, on the edge of town, is basically ignored.

16. Example of OBAMA NEGATIVE CAMPAIGNING But regardless Hillary
stood up for womens rights and championed made in USA products.
You expected her to take on the board over unions?Good luck with that.
BTW at that time Walmart wasnt the evil importer of Chinese products that it has grown to become today.
Also that womens class action suit that kicked Walmarts ass,would be affected today, because Obama voted to pass the bill limiting class action suits in federal court.

She worked to improve women in management , a comprehensive environmental program,and championed the made in USA program.
She was the youngest ,least experienced member on a board with 16 powerful rich white guys.Im amazed she was able to do what she did.
