a bit about this yesterday.
That he had put a a person in charge of his economic plan that was a wal-mart lawyer. This bugged me more than the "Hillary was on wal-marts board" thing.
Here is why. From what I heard his time working for wal-mart was in the era of time when most of us know how bad wal-mart is. I believe that the time Hillary was with wal-mart, was much longer ago before they became the assholes that they are now.
I remember long ago that wal-mart used to push the "made in America" labels. Now it is take jobs from America and give them to slave labor.

Wow, so Walmart of Hillary was the "lets exploit faux patriotism so we can one day decimate American workers by making China the world's top producer of cheap crap" is much better than the walmart that carried that mantra?
Kevin, give me some more wally-concern, I love it.
Crush, scream all you like you're employing a double standard. None of this surprises or particularly bothers me but you are being intellectually inconsistent.
What double-standard?
Hillary Clinton counted her years on the board of Wal-Mart as "making real change for ordinary Americans". It is not. There are bigger issues but there was definitely some resume padding going on; that's what that exchange during the South Carolina debate was about.
Not "Walmart is evil". I mean it is, but that's my opinion.
Give me a "concerned" break!
I do NOT support wal-mart or mccvain. So does that help your concern? I do support Obama. So does that help your concern?
I DO think Obama needs to be smacked a little for making this decision.
And yes... the wal-mart from many years ago was different than the wal-mart now.
I really have no idea when Hillary worked there. I believe it was before they became the big bad china machine.
But... that does not make it OK for Obama to put a corporate lawyer in charge of his econominc plan.
Get it? Or are you still "concerned" about me?
Just look at his bio:
Current Positions Visiting Scholar, New York University's Wagner School
Past Positions Director, The Hamilton Project; Nonresident Senior Fellow, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities; Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy (1999-2000); Staff Economist, Council of Economic Advisors (1996-1997); Senior Economic Advisor to the Chief Economist, The World Bank (1997-1998)
(admittedly he probably wrote that himself)
Walmart has excellent technical skills, which I admire, even if I loathe their people skills.
What you say is true, Wal-Mart got much more evil over time.
We will watch this development closely.
