Bill Defends Hilary's Involvement with Wal Mart

As many have mentioned, Bill Clinton seems to be playing a major role in Hilary’s campaign. He even defends her past involvement with Wal Mart. Her 6 years of being on the board has become an issue in the campaign with Hilary being criticized for being apart of a company that is not so environmentally friendly nor labor union friendly. Bill Clinton insists that she did nothing but make Wal Mart more environmentally conscious and encouraged them to buy more American products. He says that Hilary took the position because Wal Mart specifically asked her to help them become more “environmentally sensitive,” which she agreed to. I wonder how accurate that statement is. He also points out that Wal Mart is one of the “leading forces for trying to help make America more economically independent on the energy front.” Obama’s spokesman said, "If they want to defend her service to one of the least environmentally-friendly, least labor-union friendly companies in the country, they're welcome to do that.” It is clear that Bill is playing a major role in the campaign, and I feel like are many who feel that voting for Hilary will also give them Bill Clinton. Does it seem that they are running as a team?

I absolutely think that they are indeed running as a team, and that people will vote for Hillary based on their opinions of Mr. Clinton. Bill Clinton was a great President, and the people who liked his way of running the office know that they will get it if they vote for Hillary. They will be working as a team, and I personally think that it's exactly what our country needs at this point in time.
