3. Calling Bill Clinton to parse the meaning of "hired"

We all recall Clinton's response: "that depends on what the meaning of "is" is, in his deposition re the Lewinsky scandal.

In this case does "hired" mean "voted for" or does "hired" mean "retained via past corporate donations to his campaigns and promises of post-electoral office board appointments, $1/2 million dollar speaking fees, free use of private jets, etc.? "

I think you meant "voted for", and I agree totally with you that most of us who voted for him don't want him to do that or any other NAFTA-esque trade agreements
