Former President Bill Clinton has an idea of what beleaguered Libya needs: a Wal-Mart.
Speaking at his eighth annual Clinton Global Initiative summit on Sunday, he challenged Wal-Mart CEO Mike Duke to open a store in the troubled region to create jobs and foster international cooperation.
“If the new president of Libya asked you to open a store in Tripoli, would you consider it?” Clinton asked Duke (a panelist at the event).
Clinton’s yearly summit is intended to encourage business leaders, NGOs and politicians to brainstorm and make pledges in the name of global investment and humanitarianism — the sort of humanitarianism that sees more Wal-Mart stores and jobs as a solution.
Renowned in the past decade for a string of overseas labor abuses, Wal-Mart recently won praise from Clinton on “The Daily Show” for its sustainable energy efforts.

I checked it twice - this is not (sadly) from The Onion.
Even they could not make up this shit.

LOL! I am glad you already checked it, saved me the trouble.

huffingtonpost.com 09/04/2012 | Updated 11/04/2012: Bill Clinton's True Legacy: Outsourcer-in-Chief

Bill Clinton was picked to deliver the nominating speech at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday night. ... Talk about ironic -- especially since his speech takes place two days after Labor Day. ... the biggest beneficiaries of his administration were Wall Street, Chinese factory owners and U.S. banks and the biggest losers were blue collar workers. Mitt Romney may have run a company that outsourced jobs but Clinton ran a country that did.
Not only has the media failed to cover Clinton's contribution to our economic downfall but there are no mentions of it on his Wikipedia page.
