Hypocrisy alert AND pander alert – Hillary sez differs from Bill on trade

Hillary hits the Daily Double today!

So, lemme see …

Hillary Clinton feels its OK to claim that eight years as First Lady amount to this vast reservoir of foreign policy experience, when most of it is riding Bill’s coattails and some is outright lying, like Tuzla and Northern Ireland, but on trade policies, she tries to claim a vast world of difference.

Well from her White House logs as First Lady, we know that’s a lie on NAFTA.

Except now she’s claiming she expressed reservations about NAFTA in 1993 White House meetings, including one she hosted for NAFTA supporters.

Clinton said “a number of people” who served in her husband’s administration “have publicly stated that I opposed NAFTA” even as her husband was working for its passage.

Right. And for 15 years, nothing leaked out.

And, conveniently, Hillary mentioned none of these people by name.

She also conveniently did not mention any detailed areas where she differed with the Slickster. That’s including her not complaining about this:

In 2005, the former president was paid $800,000 by Gold Service International, a Bogota-based business development group, for four days of appearances in Mexico, Colombia and Brazil. The group supports, among other things, the Colombia Free Trade Agreement.

Now you know why she hasn’t actually fired Mark Penn but just given him a slap on the wrist.

Once a DLCer, always a DLCer.
