« McCain At The Lorraine Motel | Main | McCain Campaign Nudges Obama On Public Financing » Penn Apologizes04 Apr 2008 01:15 pm According to the Clinton campaign, chief strategist Mark Penn is the author of these words" "The meeting was an error in judgment that will not be repeated and I am sorry for it. The senator's well known opposition to this trade deal is clear and was not discussed." Comments (11)
Ha. Obama better practice his "Shame on you, Hillary Clinton!" lines. 
Courtesy of Sully's scribe: "I would ask you to look at this story and substitute my name for Sen. Obama’s name and see what you would do with this story… Just ask yourself [what you would do] if some of my advisers had been having private meetings with foreign governments."-Hillary Clinton. Yes indeed. Just ask yourself.
"The senator's well known opposition to this trade deal is clear and was not discussed." Nice lawyerly line! Was the trade deal discussed? Where there implied winks winks to be had by all?
Change to Win, the labor federation that includes SEIU, just sent out a statement demanding Penn's head: The statement, from executive director Greg Tarpinian: It's time for Senator Hillary Clinton to send her vaunted 'chief strategist' Mark Penn packing -- back to his job consulting for union busting corporations and anti-labor governments for good. "We have questioned Penn's role in the Clinton campaign in the past for his representation of union busting employers like Cintas. At that time, Penn said there was a wall between him and his firm's representation of union busters. The latest revelation that Penn -- whose firm represents the Colombian government in its effort to secure passage of a so-called free trade agreement -- is actively involved in securing its passage in the middle of Senator Clinton's presidential campaign is outrageous. It also suggests that he has been playing a double role - advising the Senator on what to say to curry Democratic voters and advising the Colombian government on what to say to curry a majority of votes in Congress. "The vast majority of Americans do not believe that we should be granting preferential trade status to a government that coddles death squads that target union organizers. Colombia remains the most dangerous country in the world for union members, where more than 2,200 workers have been murdered since the 1980s by Colombian death squads for trying to form unions while the government has done nothing to effectively stop the murders. It is time for Penn to go." http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0408/Obama_allies_hit_Penn.html
Free trade in white powder is on the way... Vote Hillbilly.
Here's the big difference between Obama and Clinton: Obama has respect for and trust in the American people. Clinton clearly thinks we are all stupid.
Reverse the names....replace Axelrod for Penn and Obama for Clinton...and what do you think the coverage of this story would be? Folks have been saying from the beginning that Penn was a SNAKE of the highest order......
I never like that guy. I think that anyone called the 'Chief Stratgist' of the Clinton campaign should have been fired after NH. If I know anything about malpractice, the dictonary would use Mark Penn as its verb. However, I don't know anything about malpractice so I'm very happy Clinton was loyal to Penn. Obama owes his nomination to him, so he should send him a bouquet of flowers and an invitation to the inaugural parade.
No harm done, right?
Loyal Dems..the more middle America sees of
