My post was incomplete. I’ll try again.

O’bama said, “NAFTA has done a fair job with the space program but they need change.”

The entire crowd fainted and Michelle said, “For the first time in my adult life I’m proud to be an American”.

There.

The operative said it was just campaign rhetoric not to be taken seriously

Pretty much says it all right there.

You’re the first person to comment on the O’bama spelling. Good guess but actually he is Scottish. “If it aint Scottish, it’s CRAP”.

rumor has it Canada would LIKE to renegotiate NAFTA. Seems that little clause about selling us oil could be changed to allow them to sell oil on the open market and make more profit!!!!

One of several reasons that McCain wants to keep NAFTA in place as is.

The New York Times with their network of leaker's throughout Government’s and party's hierarchies did not find this out or did the N.Y.T. find this not newsworthy?

"Obama lied through his teeth about it"

Not true, he(and Hillary) were only exxaggerating. The dems still have their underlying problems with NAFTA.

First, they think that the GOP was using the investor protections that are in NAFTA and CAFTA, and would have been in FTAA, to set up a dual system of regulatory law. Many conservatives don't like this either. It is not uncommon to hear some freepers complain that NAFTA and/or CAFTA trumps US law(regulatory law).

And once the GOP was able to get this hemispheric wide, dual system of regulatory law in place, a GOP SCOTUS would find the right case and rule all the regulatory laws that the dems put in place(including the New Deal) to be unconstitutional.

The second problem is Bill Clinton and the parallel NAFTA agreement. After Bush signed NAFTA, the dem Congress wouldn't approve it unless there was a parallel agreement that contained protections for labor and environment. Clinton negotiated this agreement and signed it. Congress approve both the original and parallel agreement and they went into effect the following Jan.

But the labor and environmental protections in the side agreement turned out to be toothless and the dems blamed Clinton's misfeasance or his malfeasance..

Some dems said misfeasance. He just did a bad job.
Some dems said malfeasance. He purposely negotiated a toothless side agreement because he was in cahoots with the GOP.

The issue is not NAFTA, it’s his honesty. I’d scrap NAFTA so fast, completely and permanently it would make your Obama’s head spin.

When confronted with the story that his campaign adviser contacted the Canucks to ‘reassure’ them, Barack Sinclair Obama gave a strident and full denial. His denial is false.
