It is nice that he wanted to point out how Walmart has been reducing their energy consumption, but Walmart has much bigger problems that they should be addressing. Obama choosing to speak at one only to overlook their labor issues is in poor taste.

The unions agree with you.

Walmart is good at not picking political sides, which makes them less of a target from politicians.

Labor backlash is long overdue for his inability to make a decision on Keystone over a long period of time.

They subsidize far more WM shoppers than workers. Ever go there on the first of the month, when the welfare checks come out?
