It looks like Hillary Clinton has really stepped up the hypocrisy to new ridiculous levels. She was against campaigns dealing with foreign governments before she was for it. Here’s what The Jed Report had to say:
For the past month, Hillary Clinton has repeatedly attacked Barack Obama because one of his economic advisers met with Canadian officials in Chicago to discuss NAFTA. Now the Wall Street Journal reports that her own chief campaign strategist did the very same thing on a new free-trade agreement with Colombia.
And here is the damning evidence of Clinton’s hypocrisy straight from the pages of the wizened Wall Street Journal:
“Hillary Clinton’s chief campaign strategist met with Colombia’s ambassador to the U.S. on Monday to discuss a bilateral free-trade agreement, a pact the presidential candidate opposes.”
If all of this isn’t bad enough, Colombian President Uribe is now coming out and attacking Obama.
Colombian President Alvaro Uribe revealed his worry about the US presidential contest this week to the Bogotá daily El Tiempo: “I deplore that Senator Obama, aspiring to be president of the US, ignores Colombia’s efforts.”
This is the same President Uribe who just happens to be a client of Clinton Campaign Chief Strategist Mark Penn.
You can’t make this stuff up, it just gets delivered on a silver platter.
UPDATE: Colombia cuts ties with Mark Penn. Haha.
