Clinton Criticizes Corporate Boardroom Culture

WASHINGTON — Senator Clinton and her Democratic presidential rivals are targeting the labor vote here, as Mrs. Clinton yesterday assailed a corporate boardroom culture that she said does not understand the plight of American union workers.

In a campaign speech, she told members of the Communications Workers of America that executives have "disregarded wholesale" the nation's balance of power, saying corporate profits and CEO salaries are rising while wages for the average employee are stagnant.

"There is a mood in unfortunately too many corporate boardrooms that we don't have to take care of the people who take care of us — we don't have to do our duty to America," she said. "That's what this is at bottom about."

Mrs. Clinton cited the contribution of unionized workers in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, saying they helped reconnect Lower Manhattan after cell phone service and other communications were interrupted.

Criticizing the Bush administration, the former first lady later drew applause when she pledged to appoint officials to the Department of Labor and the National Labor Relations Board who are "actually pro-labor."

Mrs. Clinton followed Senator Obama of Illinois and a former North Carolina senator, John Edwards, in addressing the CWA's political conference. All three leading Democratic contenders also plan to speak today at a presidential forum sponsored by the Building and Construction Trades union, an affiliate of the AFL-CIO.

3. I just updated my computer to clinton 8.0

The software, compatible for both Mac and PC users,
allows potential Hillary voters to configure their very own version
of Sen. Clinton, choosing from over 57,000 positions on a variety of
issues ranging from health care to immigration to the war in Iraq.

But according to one early user, Tracy, 26, Hillary 8.0 is not
without its technological glitches. "I tried to download the software
and my computer crashed," Tracy said.
"I didn't have enough available memory to store all of those positions."


But according to one campaign aide, even that tech problem
could ultimately be to Clinton's advantage:
"The average American doesn't have enough memory,
and that's exactly what Hillary's counting on."
