Anyone who has listened to Hillary Clinton campaign for more than 5 minutes has heard her familiar claim that she has "been working to bring positive change to people's lives for 35 years." A new article by McClatchy examines that cliam and finds that "Clinton spent the bulk of her career -- 15 of those 35 years -- at one of Arkansas' most prestigious corporate law firms, where she represented big companies and served on corporate boards.Neither she nor her surrogates, however, ever mention that on the campaign trail."
What annoys me is that Hillary tries to basic claims that everything she ever did since she graduated from law school was an effort to serve in the public sector. This is obviously not the case. The primary rationale for the Clinton candidacy is experience. When it turns out that experience isn't all its craked up to be, what else does she have to offer?

Yeah - I'm not buying the experience claim. The connection b/w her real career and her claims of exerience are just too tenuous. Moreover, I just don't feel that the surrogate experiences she had as First Lady of AR and the US really give her any basis for a claim of greater experience...
Besides - I really don't want more of the same - same system, same problems, same corruption, same mindset. So - really, claims of experience are not necessarily even a positive thing in my book.
Furthermore, when your experience includes 6 yrs on the Board of Walmart, then you have serious credibility issues in my book. How on earth can she twist that to being anything but yet another tool for corporate interests?
