201. I'll tell you what happened...
The State and local officials refused to allow the plant to be built. Years ago. But the poster saw an opportunity to whine and complain about Clinton because she didn't do "enough" about it. Perhaps she knew it would be rejected? Perhaps she was ready and willing to do something once it became an issue that the FEDERAL government and Senate could address?

The poster doesn't have an insight to Clinton's daily calendar or diary, so just HOW does he know she did nothing about this issue? Is she supposed to hold a press conference every time she makes a phone call or writes a letter? If she did that this guy would have ripper her for being TOO public about what she does.

Like you, I fail to see how this could be a "deeply personal" story about Hillary Clinton when the plant was NOT built anyway! It never made it past first base at all, so there was never an imminent threat that it would have been built. IF Clinton used her position to do something premature it might have done more harm than good.

But at least this incident gave the poster an opportunity, trivial as it is, to bash his opposing candidate. Bravo!!! Now, does he ever say who he IS going to vote for? Does he ever say was is GOOD about his candidate? No, he just whines on about Hillary Clinton not doing enough to "stop" a plant that was never going to be built anyway.

Good ol' republican politics, right out of the Karl Rove playbook.
