The News About Mark Penn Leaves Clinton


Hilary Clinton’s senior strategist, Mark Penn resigned from the campaign after it was found that he met with the Colombian government to promote a free trade agreement that Hilary Clinton is against.

Penn is the chief executive of Burson-Marsteller a Washington public relations firm that was hired to help the country of Colombia gain a bilateral trade agreement with the United States. Mark Penn had said that other members of the firm were doing the work with Colombia it was found that Penn had met with officials from Colombia last week. Hilary Clinton was angered when she found out and she insisted on Penn’s demotion.

Hilary Clinton who is looking toward the primary in Pennsylvania on April 22 and doesn’t want to linked to anything supporting the trade agreement. Voters in Pennsylvania connect foreign trade with the loss of jobs in their state and in the country.

Hilary needs this win in order to pull her campaign out of the dumps and I’m sure she hopes that the resignation of Mark Penn will give her a better chance.

That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.
