True. Bush and his stooges negotiated it. Congress passed it and Clinton signed it as you stated.

[Tired of Taxes]

Rest in peace, Bush Sr.

“For the record, Clinton signed NAFTA.”

That may be true, but the NAFTA negotiations started under President GHW Bush in 1990. The draft was signed in 1992, with pants dropper signing the final monstrosity.

RIP. A decent man. RIP. My four regrets about Bush Sr. Are:

1.) Thinking after Desert Storm that he was guaranteed re-election.
2.) The Somali intervention.
3.) David Souter
4.) Political instincts shaped by a naive belief that fanaticism ended on VJ Day 1945.

Doesn’t remember where he was when JFK died.

True. You Tube has an old CNN clip showing Bush, plus both other leaders signing the initial agreement.

I wonder if the Bush family will invite President Trump to the funeral service or take the low road like the McCains.

He was my Congressman form October 1972 (when I moved to Houston) until January 1973

Making Clinton the creator of NAFTA is like saying the Bush presidency was responsible for the Soviet downfall. It was the guy before in each case.
