BREAKING: Hillary's Schedule proves she Worked On NAFTA!!!

Well, in fairness it doesnt say she was there promoting it, but the fact that she was there is not good.

 

That's nothing. Of course she was in on some discussions, she has said as much.

That, on the other hand, could be a bit damaging. If these allegations of her stretching her experience start to get some legs...

The problem is that she has said that behind the scenes she was not really for it. Yet she Opens and Closes the meeting?

This from a guy on Digg... "I doubt she was showing up to do the introduction for the meeting so she could tell the 120 attendees there not to support her husbands proposition."

Those type of statements have been out there for some time, it seems like it might be about due for her to get some focus on that issue. And it seems like it's the cycle's time to find something to go after her for anyway. The whole Northern Ireland thing seemed like it would have been a good jumping off point but it never seemed to get traction for some reason last time around. Probably because she wasn't winning.

ABC News Political Blog

 

Two attendees of that closed-door briefing, neither of whom are affiliated with any campaign, describe that event for ABC News. It was a room full of women involved in international trade. David Gergen served as a sort of master of ceremonies as various women members of the Cabinet talked up NAFTA, which had yet to pass Congress.

 

"It wasn’t a drop-by it was organized around her participation," said one attendee. "Her remarks were totally pro-NAFTA and what a good thing it would be for the economy. There was no equivocation for her support for NAFTA at the time. Folks were pleased that she came by. If this is a still a question about what Hillary's position when she was First Lady, she was totally supportive if NAFTA.

 

UH OH!!!

I'm not debating the strategic implications of the whole NAFTA issue but eventually people are going to have to realize that NAFTA is not the source of all of America's problems.

no, but for a person who was claiming she supported it publicly but worked against it in private. that is a nail in the coffin for ANY argument she can use to say she was against it.

It just keep coming...

Dec. 22, 2000 also remains a bit of a mystery. That's the day when Mrs. Clinton and the President met in the White House with a New York rabbi who successfully lobbied President Clinton to commute the sentences of four Hassidic men who had been convicted of massive fraud and conspiracy. The commutations were extremely controversial at the time, and photos of the meeting exist. And yet, there's no mention of it in Mrs. Clinton's daily log. The calendar simply lists four separate "private meetings" in the Map Room that day, with no names attached.

And more...

Hillary's "snipe fire" claim not so real?

 

Here’s how Clinton began her speech:

...I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.

 

A Nexis search found hundreds of stories on the election-year trip, but no mention of any hostile fire or snipers... a report by Sharyl Atkisson for the March 25 CBS This Morning showed Mrs. Clinton arriving at the main air base at Tuzla not running with her head down, but smiling and walking alongside daughter Chelsea.

Not all of America is buying the load of crap that it is our trade agreements that are hurting the economy. They don't seem to want to blame themselves for buying the stuff putting themselves out of jobs.

Nice drive by media work. Now that Limbaugh's on board for the Hillary-will-eat-Barack-Obama-up-so-we-don't-have-to-tour, all of a sudden crap starts leaking? What a joke.

 

come on, it doesn't work just like that. The reason all this is coming up her language of Command in Chief threshold and touting her experience within the last week and a half, when that is your main basis, the media will start questioning it.

oh bulls***. She's been saying "I'm more experienced" pre-Iowa. They're just now choosing to focus more on it.

Why is it bad that they are focusing on it now? I mean, I would have preferred if they did it earlier, but, better late than never.

I'm not saying that it is (bad), but to some, all these "revelations" that are just now breaking is all interesting timing, is all I'm saying.

10/1 odds says its because the Obama campaign has gotten sick of her camp leaking and forcing as many negative thread lines through the media as they have the last month or so, and is starting to push the same sort of things on her.

Jake Tapper of ABC calls out Hillary CLinton on her most recent "Fact vs Myth" e-mail to supporters.

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/20...ry-clint-1.html

 

The Clinton campaign sent out talking points for supporters today, which included this odd little "myth" versus "fact."

 

"Myth: Contrary to her stated opposition to NAFTA, Hillary Clinton attended NAFTA meetings to work for its passage.

 

"Fact: It is no secret that passing NAFTA was a priority of the Clinton Administration, but numerous contemporary accounts make clear that Hillary Clinton was personally opposed to NAFTA, and her position on NAFTA was and remains consistent."

 

OK, first of all, that "Myth" is not a "Myth" -- it's a fact.

 

Clinton attended NAFTA meetings to work for its passage. True statement. Period. End of story.

I'm talking specifically the foreign policy experience and commander in chief test she made up. When she starts touting a trip she took with Sinbad as FP experience the hammer comes back.

I heard this once but was hoping it could be verified, I thought it was a joke. Is the Sir Edmund Hillary conversation true about her being named after him and her being born before he climed MT. Everest?
