When this acquisition was approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S., the Clinton administration got a commitment from the purchaser not to remove jobs from the U.S. When the acquiring company broke that pledge under the Bush administration, the Bush administration allowed it to happen.

Like Scalia, HRC's not dwelling in the past...she's inventing it.
Meanwhile, the Hillary-affiliated "Thunder Road" group "WOMEN'S VOICES WOMEN VOTE ACTION FUND" is behind the NC robocalls: The group's been ID'ed as a 527 with John Podesta and Maggie Williams as members:
My experience has been that Sen. Clinton has very bad judgement.
I am looking for change in/and leadership.

Well, Hillary does keep telling us that she and Bill don't agree on everything, so this ends up being one of those times. Plus, if ericgoldman is right about the clause Bill put in that Dubya didn't uphold, this ends up not being the big "gotcha" that the header makes it up to be.

Bubba also signed the repeal of the Glass-Steigel, which opened the door for the current banking crisis.
Funny how Hillary never mentions that when she's making a show over her disgust at the banking crisis..

Ah, I spelled it wrong.
On November 12, 1999, President Bill Clinton signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which repealed the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. One of the effects of the repeal was to allow commercial and investment banks to consolidate. Several economists and analysts have criticized the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act as contributing to the 2007 subprime mortgage financial crisis.

Losses at financial firms from the mortgage collapse may eventually triple to $600 billion as defaults on home loans grow, says Zurich-based UBS AG. One reason banks are losing money is the repeal nine years ago of the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act, which separated commercial and investment banking after excessive risk- taking contributed to the Great Depression, Eveillard said.
The repeal enabled commercial lenders such as Citigroup, the largest U.S. bank by assets, to underwrite and trade instruments such as mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations and establish so-called structured investment vehicles, or SIVs, that bought those securities.
Citigroup, which has fallen 36 percent since reporting in January the biggest quarterly loss in its 196-year history, may have writedowns of $15 billion this quarter, according to New York-based Merrill Lynch & Co. That would add to the $22 billion that Citigroup already lost because of the housing slump.
``Glass-Steagall protected bankers against themselves, Eveillard said. ``Bankers are sheep. They don't mind going over the cliff if everyone else goes over the cliff.</ref>

Great video. I think we need to be careful calling Hillary by derisive names or stereotypical epithets. We can't afford the appearance of misogyny. I know that is not the intent, but the Hillbots will try and claim we are engaging in juvenile name-calling.

Good point and I agree with you although I fail to see why pointing out the age is a shill bought and paid for by corporate America is in any way misogynistic.
But I do agree that the discourse should be above reproach.

I get the sense that many people support McCain and Hillary because they don’t like the other option. Does that say something about them? That they are more driven by dislike and hatred than an actual position? Maybe it is because they feel they have no option. There is no alternative for them. But it is sad though. Sad that they can’t mobilize around anything other than what they are against. I hear many Republicans say, “McCain. I hate him, but he is better than the other two.” Sad. Just sad. http://angryafrican.net/2008/04/30/stand-up-for... Isn’t this the time when people are supposed to say what they stand for? And America vote for what they want to be? Maybe people should start thinking about what they stand for. A very novel idea. Supporting someone for what they stand for. Mmmm. Think about it for a minute. Supporting someone for what they stand for. And not because you don’t like the other options. Supporting something because of what it means. Something positive. Not hatred of the other, but belief in this one.

O/T Iran may be coming up sooner rather than later:
It's not news that Soros is in deep with the Chinese. Meanwhile the Republican congressional committee has spent a half a million on hit ads linking Obama to democrats running for congress; something that the RNC and McClain tried to stop the NC GOP from doing last week:
