Clinton Camp Furious Over Strategist’s Meeting With Colombian Officials on Trade Deal
Sources in the Hillary Clinton campaign told FOX News Friday that staff “outrage” is hitting a boiling point over senior strategist Mark Penn’s meeting Monday with Colombian officials to discuss passage of a trade deal that Clinton vehemently opposes.
Penn has apologized to Clinton, who knew nothing of the meeting until it was revealed Friday in The Wall Street Journal. Sources said Clinton discussed the matter directly with Penn and expressed displeasure.
“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,” Penn said in a public statement.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Penn met Monday with the Colombian officials as part of his job as chief executive of the lobbying and public relations firm Burson-Marsteller Worldwide.
Other Clinton officials are furious Penn would divert attention from Clinton’s campaign to curry favor with the Colombian government on behalf of the free trade deal. One chief concern is that Penn’s meeting conflicts with Clinton’s statements denouncing Colombia for using violence against union organizers.
“It makes me sick to come here hour after hour and fight for this campaign while Penn is off doing something that hurts the campaign and makes him a bunch of money,” said one aggravated Clinton loyalist.
Penn’s campaign position, however, seems secure.
Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee said earlier Penn’s meeting does not reflect the campaign’s stance on Colombia.
“Sen. Clinton’s opposition to the Colombian trade deal remains pretty clear,” he said. Penn’s “meetings were not in any way on behalf of her campaign. … It does not affect her opposition whatsoever to the trade bill.”
Both Clinton and Barack Obama oppose the Colombian trade deal. Colombian President Alvaro Uribe earlier in the week called Obama’s opposition the product of “political calculations.”
The Colombian government is trying to secure congressional passage of the agreement signed in 2006 by Uribe and the Bush administration. According to Justice Department filings, Colombia last year agreed to pay Burson-Marsteller $300,000 to help “educate members of the U.S. Congress and other audiences” about the trade deal and secure continued U.S. funding for the $5 billion anti-narcotics program Plan Colombia.
In economic terms, the deal would largely open up the Colombian markets for American goods without many of the duties that now exist. Colombia is already able to send most products to the United States duty-free, but the deal would cement that preferential access.
Penn has come under criticism for other Burson-Marsteller clients, including tobacco giant Philip Morris and corporate clients accused of union-busting activity. While Penn says he does not personally work on any accounts that could be construed as anti-labor, labor leaders including Teamsters president James Hoffa have publicly expressed concern about his involvement with the campaign.
Penn’s political consulting firm, Penn, Schoen & Berland, has been paid $10.8 million so far by Clinton’s campaign.

FOX News’ Major Garrett, Aaron Bruns and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
It seems like all Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama seem to continue to do is find reasons for themselves or their associates to apologize. Does America really want a person holding the highest office in the land that is going to have to keep apologizing over and over again? The mistakes made by Clinton and Obama will only continue to grow. One of the many reasons the mistakes have been made is because of them both lacking the experience needed to lead America.
Hillary wants to “unify” the country when she cannot even unify her party. The same goes for Obama. Neither one of these individuals is ready. They have good ideas but want to go about them in a wrong way. The ways they want to do things once was known as a little thing called socialism. They are both so far out of touch with reality and need to get themselves in check to stand any chance against McCain come November.
Vote
McCain ‘08
OHHHH what Hypocrites Penn is. Clinton’s campaign showing there true colors again! Why is the media not jumping all over this?
Does anyone believe that she is against this trade agreement especially with how hard she pushed NAFTA early in her husband’s first term?
This, like all trade agreements, will eventually have to go through Congress and then to the President for their signature. With him working for the lobbying firm that is pushing this trade agreement as well as working as the top strategist for the Clinton campaign, can anyone believe that she would not sign it if God forbid she does become President?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against trade, I am against unfair trade agreements that leave the US worker at a disadvantage.
What terrorists need: who?
Let’s see, the terrorists don’t appear on TV or the rest of the Media directly, they use the logistic in situ, exactly what pro-FARC terrorist guerrilla Hugo Chavez is doing, repeating Fidel Castro’s made in USSR plan. Anybody who help them on American or any other country’s soil is a terror logistic.
WMD? Israel BOOOMBED a Sadam’s N U C L E A R reactor already:
The anti-American dems have always been what the enemies need. About 1 decade ago, Israel launched an air attack against a Sadam’s NUCLEAR REACTOR. There still the ruins as a silent monument of SADAM’s WMD PLANS to any self-programmed anti-American, and as a proove of the war on terror.
Also, Sadam was the Hugo Chavez on the region, paying (not sure the ammount) like $30,000 for the family of any suicide bomber against Israel or any other “enemy” of the terrorists.
I can’t believe there still terror logistics in situ USA saying Sadam wasn’t related to terror on the region.
The terrorists even fight between them for oil power, that’s why Iran and Irak whent to war for 10 years, and became friends on 2003 “suddently” (Iran kept Sadam’s air force for protection), they fight, they reconciliate, they are terrorists).
It just gets better and better everyday. Talk about a conflict of interest.
Let us reflect back on Mrs. Clinton’s words in OH.
“I don’t think people should come to Ohio and tell the people of Ohio one thing and then have your campaign tell a foreign government something else behind closed doors,” Clinton said then. “That’s the kind of difference between talk and action and that I’ve been pointing out in this campaign.”
“I would ask you to look at that story, substitute my name for Senator Obama,” she also said. “If some of my advisers had been having private meetings with foreign governments and basically saying ignore what I’m saying because it’s only political rhetoric … I think it raises serious questions.”
After hillary’s lie about Bosnia, how can anyone believe that she has nothing to do with the meeting that her strategist made with Columbia. If her campaign workers do these sort of things behind her back, how is she going to legitimately control her administration if she pulls a curious george and steals the Presidency? I wouldn’t doubt if hillary was behind it, after all, her first lady papers discuss how she was pro NAFTA and made the closing arguments FOR NAFTA, saying that it would benefit our economy. Now look at the repercussions that NAFTA has caused. I don’t like george w, and never have, but our depressing economy is not all of his fault. It took this long for the negative repercussions of NAFTA to show itself.
President Hillary? Give me a break.
She should fire Mark Penn, I think that will lead to a little boost in her polls
he is just to divisive and its unclear who he works for sometimes
The Clintons must think were are really stupid! If the media buys that, shame on them! The media should be after their tax returns and the donor list to the library! The Clintons will hold off as long as the media does not pressure them. They both lie and prove me wrong!
None of the dem candidates can manage their people.
Typical conduct by the Democrat party. Losers on top of losers! Why would any of you support this doomed party of Socialists?
The Clintons are patholgical liars that have got away of it for years and finaly met her match.
as a clinton supporter…. she should terminate this guy pronto… I have long felt that someone on her staff has been throwing her under the bus…. this guy needs to go… Hillary, do the right thing cut him loose!
Say what you will about the Clintons, they seem to be very loyal to old associates, even when those associates are not helping them at all–like Penn, who has probably been the poorest planner of this campaign. This is a golden opportunity to get rid of him, but will she put forgiveness over poor performance? Obviously the public doesn’t like this trait.
Ron…Chill out…why should the media jump on Clinton for something one of her advisors chose to do. Please read the article before you push the panic bottom…..

Re: Wall Street Journal and Huffpo
So there you have it — the person running a major American presidential campaign is simultaneously on the payroll of a foreign government pushing a bill that the next president would have to confront. And what’s truly telling about this is the part about the Colombian government not knowing whether Penn was representing the Clinton campaign or his business clients. Put another way, the two interests are apparently so similar, there’s almost no discernible difference — even to the foreign government lining Penn’s pocket. Clinton for President is the same thing as Burson-Marsteller for President, with Mark Penn as the Secretary of State-in-waiting.
Go Obama!
Penn is more involved with the Clinton campaign than the guy who spoke to the Canadians. In fact Penn is getting paid lost of money as an adviser. This is highly suspicious. When you put this logthere with the stories Hillary been spreading arounf. It points to how untrustworthy she is. We can’t Trust her as President.
Mary, you need to do some reading. Explain to all of us why did they say it was Obama who called Canada when it was actually the Clinton’s. Explain why people have to leave Upstate NY because of the false promises that Hillary gave them. Please explain why is Hillary talking to blue collar workers when she has made over 110 million dollars from 2000-2006. I am waiting to see what you have to say Mary.
Clinton appears to be getting undermined left and right by her own campaign staff… so, if she wins the election (which seems less likely every day), what kind of shenanigans do you expect to see from the cabinet she selects. Her husband alone indicates she’s a bad judge of character… her staff just keeps confirming it.
It’s so hard to find good help these days…
Hey—-Mary—-why should the media not jump on Billary? She is the one that approves her advisors. I would think that if I was going to call someone one of my advisors I would at least want to meet them and make sure they are on the same page as I was. Pretty simple to me. Mary, if you have time could you please show me the panic bottom is…or did you mean to say button….LMAO! If either Osama or Billary get in office I am going to want to know where to find it…the button that is.
Clinton is a two-faced joke…worse…YESTERDAYS JOKE!
She can’t run a campaign, she can’t keep her finances together, she can’t even control the people that work for her. She is a disaster and to think she is running for President?????? Wow, how embarrasing this is.
This is apology number 227 from the Clinton Camp.
My guess is there will be another 300 before the Democratic Convention.
Mary,
Your comment to Ron was interesting … I certainly hope you will keep that frame of thought as regards Obama’s Pastor’s comments, or even Dick Cheney’s actions as relates to George Bush.
Very tolerant and balanced of you …
Mary, give Ron a break (even if he can’t spell), and catch a clue about Hillary while at it. Hillary is not fit to be POTUS. She has never successfully led ANYTHING. She’s power hungry and only ACTING moderate because she knows being honest about her views would eliminate any chance she has of ever getting near the White House again. Just check out her whole life and the kinds of causes and messed up thinking she has repeatedly stood for (until she realized a flaming Liberal couldn’t get anywhere in national politics). Someone with her past as Commander in Chief…tell me you are KIDDING!!! Check out the shady deals in Arkansas and those surrounding her when she served as First “Spouse” (this constitutes the lion’s share of her purported “leadership experience,” by the way). Obama? unproven as a leader and not much better than Hillary at thinking if his campaign stances are any indication. The only fit Commander in Chief left in the race is John Mcain. Wise up folks, Vote McCain!!!
Penn has been one of the most vicious commentators against Obama since all this negative campaigning started. My question to any Hillary supporter is why does Hillary have people like this surrounding her as consultants? It truly shows ” the ends justicies the means” of her campaign. VERY POOR JUDGEMENT FROM HILLARY. I would be up at 3 AM panicing thingking that Hillary was at the helm during any crisis.
As HRC campaign would say in response to Obama’s relationship with his ex-pastor, you can tell what a candidate really believes by the words and actions of the people that they surround themselves with.
This week we find out her Campaign Manger was on a sub prime Board and now Penn, a “senior” adviser is talking trade, in spite of her stupid call for a “time out”. It appears that her crew no more believes her than we do….In Canada we would have punted her long ago..even for City Council….
Are you absolutely kidding me? If this woman can sleep at night, I am amazed. From complete hypocrisy to pathological lying and deceit. This is indicative of psychological pathos and not at all worthy of the highest level of responsiblity in the free world. Just let it go…
Penn is a clown. Hillary should get a refund!
So this guy Penn is a Senior Stratigist for the Clinton campaign, but he is also a LOBBIEST, not just a lobbiest but a chief Executive for a Lobbying firm. My Gosh I thought that was a great cardinal sin. Haven’t they been blasting McCain for having lobbiest on his campaign payroll? Seems the Liberal double standard just keeps on turning. And My gosh we sure don’t want to think the liberals would be supporting a free trade agreement such as NAFTA Bill Clintons baby.
Mary - they jumped all over Senator Obama for the lie that one of his aides spoke to the Canadian government about NAFTA - don’t you think they ought to jump all over Senator Clinton for something her CAMPAIGN MANAGER DID!!!! Does he represent her or not?
Hillary jumped on this as soon as she found out as the article states. Obama’s advisers have made several mistakes, but he hasn’t fired them. But I love how he demands others be fired for their remarks. If its Obama vs McCain in November, this Democrat will vote for McCain.
I liked this line in the story:
“labor leaders including Teamsters president James Hoffa have publicly expressed concern about his involvement with the campaign” -
I thought organized labor was rooting for Hillary in this campaign ? along with financial backing ?
I also found it interesting that Mark Penn is doing triple duty these days:
1. CEO of a lobbying and PR firm
2. Head of a political consulting firm
3. chief strategist for the Clinton campaign
Any appearance of conflict of interest to anybody else ?
I’ll bet she answered THAT call at 3 a.m.!
sounds to me like the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing…….
Hey Ron; the news media isn’t “jumping all over this” because they are all, well 90% of them anyway, LIBERAL-SOCIALISTS and they aren’t about to report on things that make the LIBERAL-SOCIALIST movement look bad.
Wow. I know, I know; we shouldn’t bash Hil for something that Penn did. Not her fault, yada yada.
Or should we?
Penn is her Grand Visier over there, for Pete’s sake. Think about this: this is like Condi going to Iran and presenting Ahmedinejad with an award. Think MAYBE we might take umbrage with this and look at Dubya with an expression of “What the HELL?”
Look, if she can’t control her “cabinet” during a campaign, you think her subordinates will follow her policies if she wins? Judging by the folks she surrounds herself with and depends on for counsel, probably not.
The Democratic race keeps on getting more and more ridiculous every day. The candidates are either firing fusillades at each other or they’re punching themselves in the face almost daily. By the time one is chosen all that will be left will be a bloody skull chanting “chaaaaange…. CHAAAAANGE.”
They need to get it together so we can have a real race for the top office. Because right now it looks like Uncle John is winning without firing a shot.
HILLARY CLINTON IS A LIAR. Now we are expected to believe she “didn’t know” her SENIOR $10 million dollar Campaign Advisor was working a NAFTA trade deal with Columbian officials!?!? She talks out of both sides of her LYING mouth.
Since THE BILLARY has been making millions since leaving the White House, they arrogantly think the rest of the world can be continued to be duped by there “supreme” charade. They are LYING evil people plain and simple, “from day one”.
Hillary mis-peaks, mis-hears and now her chief guy makes a mis-take…good grief, this woman can’t even run a good./decent campaign……she is not ready to be commander in chief of usa…the clintons need to take their MILLIONS and disappear off the national scene….they’re sooo over. Bring decency back, vote McCain.
For all the political talk about a variety of issues the democrats make about being for the “common man”, they may talk to the talk, but they don’t walk to walk. Both Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton have lobbyist on their campaign staff, that do their bidding for the highest bidder. They are hired guns, just like Mark Penn. You have a bunch of millionaires, who want you to believe they can relate to the average voter.
This is again Hillary’s politics ..you never kow what Clinton campains thinking!
It’s 3am in the morning…..and you still can’t control what your advisors and surrogates say!!
Hillary Clinton needs to get rid of Mark Penn - and get rid of him fast.
There are truths that are difficult to believe. One of them is, the United States is one of the “most hated” countries in the world. It’s a fact, as sad as it may sound. The enemies of this country seem to be growing at incredible speed. Our politicians do not seem to realize and understand that Colombia is probably the ONLY real friend the US has in this continent. And one of the FEW in the whole world. If one of the democratic candidates is elected president of the United States, we will NOT have any friends in the American continent. None, whatsoever. I wonder if Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama have any first hand knowledge about the Colombian situation or they are acting according what they have “heard” or “read”. Do they even know WHERE in Latin America is that country situated? More so.. have they ever been there??? what’s the Capital of Colombia? Do you think that if someone asked them about these things and and they didn’t have the opportunity to find out or ask anyone… they would know??? No. They would not. They have NO idea. On the other hand, maybe it would be good for Colombia not to have any trade deals with the US, considering the huge recession that this country is about to suffer… or… is suffering already?
Why are we surprised?? The Clintons have always supported NAFTA. Will she denounce and reject him?????
Billary, Billary, Billary, gotcha again. Wait until we go through the Billarys taxes and contributation list for the library….gotcha again….BUSTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why isn’t this story all over the cable network running 24hours a day, I bet Hilary has the cable network and CNN, ABC, MSN on her payroll. They ran Obama’s Jeremiah Wright story so often you can’t help but not forget.
What up with this picture
O’Reilly, factor and BET why don’t you talk about this.
RE: Clinton Camp Furious Over Strategist’s Meeting With Colombian Officials on Trade Deal. The Clinton’s are perpetually furious over one thing or another. Is this what we want for “Co-Presidents”? What they are really furious is that someone outed Mark Penn in the same way that the Clinton campaign deliberately outed an Obama advisor’s meeting with Canadian officials prior to the Ohio primaries. They are not outraged that the meeting took place. After it was Bill Clinton who signed NAFTA, not Barack Obama. It was the Clintons, as usual, trying to have it both ways -saying one thing and doing the opposite. Followed by spin,spin, spin! Hillary Clinton has no more integrity than her husband. Neither will ever be accountable for anything - it is always someone else’s false. Is that what we want? Another administration without either integrity or accountability.
She can’t even control her own campaign workers—how can she run the country? This guy should have been summarily FIRED on the spot!! What kind of exec is she—no, no, don’t say she has a heart! Incompetent is the word.
Hillary needs to fire Mark Penn el pronto!
So you want to meet with Cuban authorities … but not with the US ally Colombian authorities. What message do you want to send to your friends in Latin America? … BTW … Just a meeting … not making deals … any FTA deal has to be voted in congress. Meeting does not mean a commitment … just to listen the other opinion … Or maybe the US has new allies in the region (Castro, Chavez, Ortega) … maybe we will get our Chavez by electing Obama … Or our Ms. Kirchner with Hillarie … Who knows …
Is there one decent, honest, responsible politician out there that is actually worthy of the title “President of the USA”. I am beginning to think not.
After her sanctimonious mouthings in Ohio you would think she would fire Penn right away, but look at Uribe’s comments against Obama, does she really think American voters are so stupd that is not obvious that she was involved in the “wink, wink”
She’s in real trouble
Ask Vince Fosters family if Hillary is a liar.
It’s 3 A.M. Do you know what kind of enormous damage your political hacks are doing to your already dying bid for the presidency?
I agree that Hillary needs to get rid of Mark Penn!!!!
Jacqueline
After the Ohio primary, the news media reported that a Clinton campaign advisor also met with Canadian government officials prior to the Ohio primary to reasuure them that they should take what Hillary said to the voters of Ohio “with a grain of salt.” Now we have this.
We seem to have “double doubletalk” in the Clinton campaign. First there is Hillary’s and Bill’s usual parsing and doubletalk…and then there is the doubletalk by their advisors and campaign staffers. Trying to figure out what the meaning of “is” is is easier than figuring this out.
I don’t think Hillary can take that award for lying through their teeth i think that award goes to George W.Bush could’nt find those darn weapons of mass destruction. Oh yeah that other tiny little mis-spoken MISSION COMPLETED! YA’LL HAVE A GOOD DAY.
UMMM i DO REMEMBER OBAMA saying she supported “NAFTA” right!!… THAT’s RIGHT! and OHIO voted her in right, THAT IS RIGHT!….. BIG BIG MISTAKE! HERE WE go again IM just wondering WHAT state in AMERICA will have there factories and men getting LAID OFF next. HILLARY & her camp are full of LIARS……. LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!
Looks like Wince, Kit Hogan, and Cheerleader have pretty well covered the subject!
Hil wants to run the ountry ? Hell she can’t even control her own campaign ! Gimme a break.
Clinton must have Mishired after she misspoke and misheard= her campaign has misfired
So much for Clinton being against NAFTA, and against shipping jobs overseas. She surrounds herself with these people that see working class citizens as a cheap commodity to be used for the benifit of the “Globalists” bottom line, and yet expects these very same individuals to vote for her. Shame! Shame! Shame! Looks like the Teamsters made the correct choice. “Viva la Union Renaissance!”
Hillary and Bosnia is a big lie
It’s pretty hilarious (pun intended) that Hillary’s top dog in her campaign, a known trade lobbyist, went ahead and did his job. Why is the campaign outraged? It’s analogous to putting a fox in the hen house, and then being outraged when he eats a bunch of the chickens.
OBAMA IS A LIAR and he should drop out of the race! I would like an investigation on his contributions, the little people on the internet? I don’t think so, how about other countries on the internet, probably.
The picture of obama with the cigarette hanging from his lips make him look even shadier than I think he is already. Whenever Obama is asked a question he looks down and goes, uh, well, uh, I, I uh… you say hillary is a liar…you just don’t know mr truthful, understanding, wonderboy. Even if he wins the nomination, he will loose the presidency. watch.
May I remind those readers who are so aghast that the Clintons have made money over the past few years (why shouldn’t they?? He is a highly paid and much sought after guest speaker and they have both written best selling books) that Mr Bush is wealthy and John McCain is no pauper. His wife is richer than John Kerry’s wife, whose only crime was having inherited her money when her REPUBLICAN senator husband died. What hypocrites you all are.
These are the most reckless people that i have ever witnessed. Wake up America
I cannot believe Miss Hillary didn’t know what Penn was doing. Don’t they clear it with her first. If she doesn’t know what’s going on in with her committe, she won’t know how to run the Presidency either. Just another one of the Clinton LIES. We don’t need another Clinton in the White House. What does White mean? Pure….They are far from it. We don’t need a Dumocrat in the WHITE HOUSE. Vote John McCain
…And the plot thickens - left alone, the truth eventually floats to the top.
I must agree with Jay about the length of time it takes for the actions of mr.clinton to effect the country but so many people have no clue about all the things that took place during that time as sen. clinton is so aware of. It seems that she belives that we have all been sleeping as she was during the bill & monica episode and that americans will just lie down for her lies also, from this Columbia ordeal to Bosnia to her stance on the Iraq war. It s being reported as her desire to do what the people want as it is also with the oboma campaign.I for one [and except for a minute few] would like to see our country continue to be protected and some morality brought back into our NATION . That surely will NOT happen if either of the two are elected due to their well known campaign platform which includes the white flags of war to the embracing of the GAY RIGHTS AGENDA which is indeed contrary to the will of the majority of the people that they pretend to represent. I know we are many and if more people would wake up to the issues insted of voting on the basis of gender or color [DUH] ,by Nov. our numbers will increace and hopefully we can get back on track. THATS ALL FOLKS GOD BLESS….
Is anyone honestly surprised by this? One wink leads to another. Nothing quite takes the place of two sides of your mouth to speak out of. I am sure with the 70+ million they have left after their taxes that they can easily afford to leave the country and find a rock to hide out on. They can have a co-presidency in Antarctica or some where.
Listen up PA blue collar workers. Hillary’s chief strategist is lobbying for more jobs to be shipped over seas. I wonder to which part of Hillary’s 100 million-dollar-plus fortune this agreement with Columbia would benefit.
Nice comment by dz down TX way
I also found it interesting that Mark Penn is doing triple duty these days:
1. CEO of a lobbying and PR firm
2. Head of a political consulting firm
3. chief strategist for the Clinton campaign
Any appearance of conflict of interest to anybody else ?
Here’s another question. If he’s working full time for Hillary while pulling down a full time salary working for Burson-Marsteller, but for the time he spends busting unions and raking in money from special interests Hillary claims to oppose, isn’t that like, well, illegal? Seems like Burson-Marsteller is making a political donation to Hillary. And how many other people from Burson-Marsteller are working on her campaign while getting a salary from Burson?
YEP, she’s upset,,,,wink,,,,wink. Hilliary’s been in bed with strategist’s like Penn her whole life. Why would anyone be surprised. Now someone in her campaign has their hand in the cookie jar and she will say she didn’t know about his meetings. Kinda makes you wonder what would go on in the government with her as president if she can’t police her own staff.
This guy always acts like an Obama campaign employee out to sabotage her campaign. Kick him to the curb Hill.
Yes-sir-ee — just more stuff to make us confident in Hillary’s vast experience and leadership. She can’t even run her own campaign, and yet she wants to be in charge of MY healthcare.
Whatever, Hillary is still better than the closet racist Obama.
I believe Penn is sabotoging her campaign. He has done a couple of things behind her back. Is he really working against her. He is getting a whole lot of money to work for the campaign. I would fire the man. Penn is for himself.
Lori
Hillary is not a liar and I am so tired of the bull that is put on here. This is not suppose to be the spin zone and fair and balanced. Well folks I have been watching this channel for a long time and things are not brought up enough about Rezko and how Obama will be next in line in that law suite. She is the best for this country and Obama does not need any money when they have the media campaigning for him. Unjust and unfair. Fox is the only one who has brought out some of his corupt ways.
Lori McMaster
haha, the clinton mafia show its two face again,this is worse than the bosnia fantasy sniper lie , hillary you are done fore , the head cronnie of the clintons shows that hillary is a flip flopper and a liar…
What a world we live in today. It is so sad to see what the media jumps on everyday. It’s my understanding that the word is out to all Obama ramma’s to get on Fox News blogs and bash where they can. How do I know? I read the message…Go back to MSNBC First-read where you belong….In the gutter…Fox has always had intelligent responses and not just bashing.
I have been reading and writing here for a long time and never has there been so ill informed bloggers.
Here is a thought. Why don’t you comment Obama Ramma’s on the issues that will help America instead of kindergarten comments. Grow Up. Get Informed.
For some people it is always somebody elses fault. Not everyone is going to think exactly like you and if you can’t tolerate it, you will never be able to govern our diverse country, much less influence the world.
Fire this idiot! He has made stupid mistakes in campaign strategy and is exploiting Hillary for money. Now he’s undermining her campaign to pick up some more money in Columbia. I can’t understand why he is still on the team.
Yes Hillary, you really do need to fire this guy. How dare he think of himself and what he can gain for his company when clearly it is in defiance of your beliefs on the issue. I would be worried that he would screw up again so please fire him
Furious? LOL! Hillary is sooo furious, that she will not fire him! LOL!! Mark Penn is scum, which doesn’t surprise me that he consults a “Clinton”.
If anyone thinks that Hillary knew about him doing that,,,you’re lying to yourself or not very bright.
Seriously, imagine this woman as President. She doesn’t even know what her employees are doing! And when they screw up in a major fashion, she doesn’t get rid of them!
A different article I read on this said the Clinton campaign had actually donated money toward this endeavor.
I think Clinton did know about this, and it’s just another lie. Penn blew his cover and the press found out about it, so now she has to appear outraged!
LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE!
I judge each candidate by their voting record and what they have actually done for America. Hillary Clinton has done a lot of good for Americans and I applaud and support her.
Mark Penn should resign from the campaign. I recognize he has his own firm and was not acting on behalf of the campaign, but given the constant media attacks on Hillary, it was selfish act and the campaign has reason to be angry. Given the money he is making, he should be devoting all his time to the campaign.
I have voted Republican most of my voting life, and I support Hillary. If Hillary is not the dem nominee, then I will vote for McCain.
GO HILLARY!!!
You need help. Its politics and I don’t know who you are supporting, but I can guarantee I can find some problem with him or her. No person is perfect. We should judge politicians on what they get done, and whether it has improved America and American lives.
Also, it is the American dream to work hard and make lots of money. I am in the top percent of this country and I work hard…like so many Americans, including the Clintons. But I also try to help those less fortunate. My success in earning a high income does not make me less capable of helping others.
Show a little respect.
God Bless America.
God Bless Hillary Clinton.
This is another PLOY by the Clinton’s. Another Clinton tactic, just like the NAFTA lie, to make people believe she is innocent in all this. GIVE ME A BREAK. She will do and say anything to make sure that she gets all the votes - whether honest or not. And, she probably does want to make a trade agreement with Columbia anyway.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!
