Shucks... I was thinking of you all along.

Somehow I got the head of the foundation mixed up w. the head of the corporation itself. A thousand lashes w. a wet noodle.

So much Walmart-Obama related activity in such a short period of time. Hard to keep track of... for someone born in Eisenhower's first term. (That's the way it was and we LIKED it.)

So... back to our story. What in blazes ( that's what my grandpa woulda' said) bugged candidate Obama so much about candidate Clinton "sitting on the board of Walmart" when as president he seems perfectly content w. letting them/it corporatize public education in the USA and turning over the budget office to what certainly sounds like a revolving-door Walmart retread?
