Hillary was on the board of Walmart while she was first lady of Arkansas. Walmart is and was the single most important company stationed in Arkansas, and it was also run considerably differently back in those days. The fact that you have a representative of the people on the board of directors of one of the most important local companies is hardly some shocking fact.

1. You're not missing anything.
In addition, Wal-Mart has evolved (or should we say devolved) over the years. The Wal-Mart of then certainly isn't the Wal-Mart of today.

2. It's just more petty sniping between the media darlings.

3. That's kinda what I figured.
The Rezko stuff is similarly greatly overdone.

5. I Have Given Up
There is little resemblance of the Wal-Mart of today and the Wal-Mart of yore...

4. No it's not a big deal. But neither are Obama's 'present' votes
After witnessing the way the Hillary machine is lying and smearing with those, Obama should throw everything including the kitchen sink at her.

6. I think she needs to explain what she did at Wal-Mart...
Were her actions in an effort to keep Wal-Mart what it used to be? Or did her actions, in any part, lead Wal-Mart to become what it now is?

7. Fair enough, but you're not likely to find much.
