"She pledged a "smarter" and "tougher" trade stance with countries such as South Korea, which she said keeps U.S.-made automobiles out and further harms American manufacturers."

And, she'll oppose Korea-US FTA:

From the Washington Post website:

Whow! I can't believe what I'm hearing from "the witch of the east" - Hillary.

I've never been a fan of Clintons, but she's definately hit the nail on the unfair trade issue with Korea. I strongly agree with and support her. It's not just with Korea, but other countries as well.

I'd vote for her.

Wonder if she'll have a high profile affair with an intern when she gets into office. That would "suck" for old Bill.

Most of the big money backing her (and Giuliani) insures that neither will get so tough with Israel...

Tough with israel? On what? Israel is surrounded by nations who want nothing more to destroy her, and said nations fund terroris torganiations and use them in proxy wars against Israel, and many of them have attempted invasions before.. and now israel takes a tough stance, takes no crap from anyone, and defends itself. while a maniac in Tehran threatens her with destruction..yeah, right...get tough on israel uh huh sure.

But reality bites sometimes, doesn't it?: She's promising to get tough on Korea and oppose the KORUS-FTA.

Compare away, . .. the reality remains the same: She's promising to get tough on . . . .

Blame Americans for all the world's woes. . . . What's that? Didn't change anything? Yep, . . . She's promising to get tough with Korea and . .

Heap putdowns on the posters here; tell them all to go home to their pathetic countries; make a national sensation out of one foreigner's misdemeanor; preach cultural superiority . . . .

Hey, look at that . . . . it didn't change the fact that . . .

Hillary Clinton to get tough on Korea and oppose the FTA.

To be fair to the other side of the argument, here's a link to a Washington Post artcle (on another website called "Truth About Trade & Technology") in which it is argued that Hillary Clinton's position is "small minded":

No problem, she will never be elected as a U.S president.
