Obama Attacks Hillary on Wal-Mart Directorship

ABC News reports:
When a South Carolina voter asked Bill Clinton about his wife's six-year stint on Wal-Mart's board of directors, the former president appeared primed and ready Thursday, ticking off a list of reasons why "it was the right thing for her to do."

The Obama campaign pounced on the former president's comments, acknowledging it is delighted Clinton's past work with Wal-Mart is becoming an issue in the campaign.

"If they want to defend her service to one of the least environmentally-friendly, least labor-union friendly companies in the country, they're welcome to do that," Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton told ABC News.
