Hillary Clinton Rips Ports Deal
Capitalizing on polls showing widespread opposition to the takeover of six U.S. port operations by Dubai Ports World, Senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) is expanding her complaint about foreign companies operating in the U.S.
"Allowing businesses headquartered in foreign companies to operate in America is wrong," said Clinton. "It should only be permitted if accompanied by donations that support our electoral processes."
It was Senator Clinton's husband who approved a Chinese company's (Hutchison-Whampoa) purchase of the Panama Canal's two ports. Then-President Bill Clinton brushed aside security concerns. "I knew they were okay when they contributed to my 1996 re-election campaign," said Clinton. "Enemies don't give you money."
Senator Clinton said she has an open mind on the issue and would be willing to withdraw her opposition to the port deal if the United Arab Emirates would demonstrate their support of democracy by contributing to her reelection campaign.
In related news, the William F. Clinton Foundation has posted an Internet job listing for 25 unpaid interns. The text of the ad reads: "Young women with an interest in public service should consider the Clinton Foundation Intern Program. The program offers a unique opportunity to establish an intimate working relationship with an experienced leader and gain first-hand experience handling important issues. Activities will include analyzing public policy issues and dealing with selected members of congress."
Applicants are instructed to send their resumes, photographs and a 250-word essay describing the position they would like to assume in government service.
