Interesting. So, the Clintons have agreed to disagree over the Colombia free trade agreement. Hillary staunchly opposes saying, "the Colombia free trade deal, in my view, is not appropriate because of the history of suppression and targeted killings of labor organizers in Colombia. There is an argument that there has been some improvement and change by the Colombian government but it is not enough for me."On the other hand, Bill has been a supporter since 2000, raking in $800,000 from Gold Service International, a development group based in Bogota, Colombia, that supports the Colombia free trade deal. The payment was for appearances in Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil in 2005. (I wonder if Hillary opposed Bill's profits from the deal. Will she reject & denounce his interest bearing accounts?)
Yes, it's perfectly normal for couples to disagree. What's interesting is the position that Hillary presented early on in her campaign, that a vote for her was a vote for the Clinton presidency of old. Many are supporting her because they remember Bill's legacy...but, is it just that? Bill's legacy, not Bill & Hillary's? With their seemingly numerous, sharp disagreements on policy matters, it makes you wonder how much different a Hillary White House would be from Bill's White House (I certainly don't think you'll find interns under Oval Office desks...lol!)
Since she is semi-campaigning on her husband's merits, but she so strongly opposes some of his accomplishments, it kinda makes me wonder if Mrs. Hyde will show up if she's the one who will get the master key to the West Wing.
Will the real Hillary Clinton please stand up?
