Two really good interviews this morning

Sorry for the drive by essay. My life is way to busy. However I did get a chance to watch DemocracyNow this morning (in bits on my TV and iPad) and there were two very good interviews that are well worth watching. The first interview is with a Wall Street Journal Reporter James Grimaldi. It deals with the Clinton Foundation and its relationship with the Clinton State Department. The interview is not sensational but is full of facts and Grimaldi is serious and knowledgeable. The second is with Scott Anderson who has written a huge article for this weeks NY Times magazine on the history of the Middle East since the 2003 Bush invasion. Again the interview is serious and informative.

As noted, Hillary was told by both congress and Obama to keep the foundation separate from her duties while she was SOS and she agreed to do that.
She was asked if she would continue with the foundation if she is elected president and she answered "of course"
Now there's this.

AMY GOODMAN: Finally, could the Clinton Foundation exist as it is now if Hillary Clinton is president?

JAMES GRIMALDI: Well, Bill Clinton was asked that question. He hasn’t really answered it. He said he doesn’t want to count his chickens before they’re hatched. But I think all of the people around Bill Clinton, including people in the Clinton campaign, say there’s really no way it could continue to operate. And I think that Bill is pushing back on that, from what we understand, that he wants to continue to do some of the good work that they do—for example, helping to negotiate AIDS drugs in Africa at better prices. The Clinton Health Initiative, I think, really wants to continue to raise money. Many of these foreign donations are actually going to the Clinton Health Initiative—Health Access Initiative, as it’s known, or CHAI.

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
