It really doesn’t make sense. Hillary Clinton gives rousing speeches about the crises that sub-prime mortgage lenders methods have caused our country, yet she hired a director of a major sub-prime lender, Delta Financial, to be her campaign manager. Magret ‘Maggie” Williams, sat on the board of Delta making 175,000 over the last two years as Americans lost their homes to her mortgage campany’s sub-prime rip off.

“Clinton Communications Director Howard Wolfson told FOXNews.com late Sunday that Williams, a longtime Clinton ally, didn’t join Clinton’s Democratic presidential campaign as a volunteer until after Delta Financial Corporation — for which Williams is a director — went bankrupt in December 2007.”

Is that supposed to be a selling point here? So what’s the argument; after bankrupting American families, Maggie helped run her business into the ground? That explains the Clinton campaign’s financial woes.

How can we believe that Hillary Clinton’s fighting for us when she’s so tied to big money corporate interest? This revelation comes less than a week after Clinton’s rich corperate donors threatened to destroy the Democratic Congressional Caucus if they didn’t get their way from Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Leadership visa via the party nomination.

Is Maggie Williams going to be a part of Clinton’s administration, as campaign mangers often are (i.e. Republican Dick Morris was Bill’s top political advisor in the white house after being his campaign manager in ’96). If so, how’s she going to stand up to Wall Street and Financial predators, when one of those very predators is over policy.

People say all types of things on the campaign trail; but I think it’s indisputable that the type of people you put over policy tells more truth about what type of policies a candidate will have. As Mrs. Clinton is so fond of saying, words are not action. She can say whatever she wants, but having a Sub-prime lender run her campaign is action that speaks louder than her words; just like how George Bush said he would be a “compassionate conservative” in 2000, then picked Cheney to be his vice president. That was a signal of his true intentions. There’s nothing the least bit compassionate about Dick Cheney, and the record shows what kind of policy he lorded over. Will “Sub-prime Maggie” have a say in shaping financial policy in a Clinton White House?

It should be no surprise though that Senator Clinton would be cozied up to corporate interest, given the position she’s take on corporate interest in her campaign.

About a year ago Hillary Clinton angrily lets us know how much she’s for special interest; and resents being asked to part with them:
