Penn Caught in Conflict

Sen. Hillary Clinton's chief campaign strategist, Mark Penn, "met with Colombia's ambassador to the U.S. on Monday to discuss a bilateral free-trade agreement, a pact the presidential candidate opposes," according to the Wall Street Journal.

Attendance by Penn "was confirmed by two Colombian officials. He wasn't there in his campaign role, but in his separate job as chief executive of Burson-Marsteller Worldwide, an international communications and lobbying firm."

22. This just proves we need to evict the "professional political operative" class from DC
These guys suck away millions of dollars for no results. Make them actually earn a paycheck for once.

29. Can you say judgement?
Lets see HRC seems to have trouble balancing her campaign budget, telling the truth, and now who she trusts in her inner circle. Is this really the kind of White House you are looking for? With 81% of all Americans saying the country is on the wrong track - this looks like business as usual in our nations capitol. This looks like a deal breaker. Worse yet this is the kind of story that's easy to tell - one that everyone understands.

This has legs.

32. Actually
I was a fierce supporter of the Clintons in the 90's and was 100% for HRC - until I heard Obama speak. I remember JFK (yeah I'm THAT old) and IMO Obama is that kind of leader.

27. wow
Is this the case of another foreign leader injecting themselves into the campaign.

This is way worse than Canada, whatever the hell happened there, because this foreign leader has direct ties to the Clinton campaign.
