“Secretariat out to pasture soon.”

(no link)

Today Show [NBC] (USA) (Published as Today Show [NBC]) - May 5, 2015

EXCERPT

HODA KOTB: All right. If you— first chick flick you’ll show at the White House when you’ve all your friends there?

CARLY FIORINA: Chick flick? Well see my favorite movie I have to say is Secretariat. And it’s about a woman, I’m not sure it’s a chick flick, but it’s about a woman who really exceeds expectations.

wiki:

Secretariat (film)

In 1969, Denver housewife and mother Penny Chenery (Diane Lane) agrees to take over her ailing father, Christopher Chenery’s Meadow Stables in Doswell, Virginia, despite her lack of horse-racing knowledge. With the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin (Malkovich), Chenery navigates the male-dominated business, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and one of the greatest racehorses of all time.

She’s the female version of Mitt “don’t call me a used car salesman” Romney.

It really is unfair to bash Fiorina for the Compac aquisition because this decision was made by the HP Board before she was hired . In fact, she was hired specificly to execute that strategy. She was also hired with a mandate to shake up the entrenched HP corporate culture.

The problem with Fiorina is her personality. She has a very autocratic and polarizing management style which limits the tool set she has to work with as a CEO

Sound like Hillary doesn't it?

Which is why I call her SHRILLARY Fiorina.


Hello! I'm Shrillary Fiorina!

The nonpartisan FactCheck.org noted an inconvenient fact: "The scene she described, though, does not exist in any of the videos" released by the Center for Medical Progress. Other fact checkers agreed, and her campaign offered no footage to rebut them.

Now, this "nonpartisan" FactCheck.org wouldn't happen to be the outfit funded by the same "nonpartisan" Annenburg Foundation that launched Obama in the 90s, would it? Nahhhhh...

There could possibly be one on Ivanka Trump. Nobody would probably want to see it anyway.

Imo that clip (in entifetyl needs a thread of its own.
He should be a repeated guest on FOX. WE must watch a second rate channel to get the truth. Geeze

He certainly has her number. No mention of Lucent. Still would like to see what they have on cooked books. Did she get caught with hand in cookie jar? Allowed to leave without charges so no federal investigators would be called in? Enron tried that iirc initially

View link at 38. You will understand why Trump mentioned his name and why the horse tried to negate his influence by suggesting he was with Clinton camp (He has never been)

Great work Maggie

Carly Fiorina’s troubling telecom past

by Scott Woolley

OCTOBER 15, 2010

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Speaking of “demon sheep” ... Check out this Carly for California ad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo_Ejfc5hW8

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2010/02/04/carly-fiorinas-demon-sheep.html

The man behind the Web video is none other than Fred Davis, the Republican ad guru who cooked up John McCain’s legendary “Celebrity” ad that juxtaposed Barack Obama with images of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears in 2008.

Great catch, as usual, maggie!

Rich, coming from the the one who you’ve already pointed out as being the “well-known Clintonite”...FioRINO.

I wonder what Carly’s speaking fees were for speaking at The Clinton Foundation.

That interview of Sonnenfeld is devastating for Fiorina. Just think of the ads can will be made from snippets of that interview.

She may not know it yet but she is...

Who's the Clintonite?

http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-fiorina-clinton-ties-20150611-story.html

Fiorina’s campaign-trail attacks leave out her own ties to Clinton

June 11, 2015

One Fiorina charitable effort, a campaign to fund women’s empowerment projects around the globe, went forward with help from the State Department when Clinton was secretary.

And Fiorina has roles in two charities that participated in projects that became commitments with the Clinton Global Initiative, one of the organizations in the Clintons’ worldwide philanthropic network in which charities and companies announce partnerships to pledge action on social projects.

She has also twice participated in Clinton Global Initiative events. In 2013, she spoke on a small panel that discussed how to boost female entrepreneurship. Last year, she appeared with former President Clinton and three other people on a televised panel discussion on how best to pull people out of poverty.

https://www.clintonfoundation.org/clinton-global-initiative/meetings/cgi-america/2014/report

NBC'S MEET THE PRESS WITH DAVID GREGORY: Following a one-on-one conversation with President Clinton and host David Gregory, they are joined by Carly Fiorina, chairman and CEO of Carly Fiorina Enterprises and chairman of Good360; Sara Horowitz, founder and executive director of the Freelancers Union; Monty Moran, co-chief executive officer of Chipotle Mexican Grill; and Darren Walker, president of the Ford Foundation to continue the discussion on why reducing poverty and increasing upward mobility is not just a philanthropic endeavor, but a business imperative.

Fiorina failed to register business, foundation

July 10, 2009

Contacted Thursday by The Chronicle, Fiorina’s office confirmed that neither her charitable foundation nor Fiorina Enterprises has been registered with state or federal authorities. A spokeswoman said Fiorina and her staff believe the foundation is not required to file with the IRS because it accepts no outside contributions and donates only her personal wealth to worthy causes.

Fiorina Enterprises is a nonprofit enterprise that helps Fiorina structure speaking engagements and appearances while providing the public with information about her activities, the spokeswoman said. If an oversight involving either organization is found, Fiorina would correct it, the spokeswoman said.

You make it sound as though Fiorina is a liberal political wolf in a conservative political chicken coop. I tend to think there are past actions by her that need to be explained before she should get support of the so called middle class person. As to this consideration Trump being what he has been is still on higher ground for the middle class working persons.

There is more to this than your link reported.

In her first debate last night against Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, Fiorina said, "I would support the DREAM Act because I do not believe that we can punish children who through no fault of their own are here trying to live the American dream."

I don't agree, but I understand her reasons.

Fiorina also said she does not support amnesty and said the federal government has "not done its job" securing the border. She also voiced her support for Arizona's controversial new immigration law, which makes it a state crime to be in the country illegally.

90% of statistics are made up, and the other 10% are false.

"In a campaign against Hillary, she’d make Clinton look like a natural woman with baking skills and a jolly sense of humor."

Carly would eviscerate Hillary in a debate, and lose in the process. Mean old know-it-all smacking around the poor befuddled Grandmother.
