“Barack Obama has ratcheted up his attacks on NAFTA, but a senior member of his campaign team told a Canadian official not to take his criticisms seriously, CTV News has learned.
Both Obama and Hillary Clinton have been critical of the long-standing North American Free Trade Agreement over the course of the Democratic primaries, saying that the deal has cost U.S. workers’ jobs.
Within the last month, a top staff member for Obama’s campaign telephoned Michael Wilson, Canada’s ambassador to the United States, and warned him that Obama would speak out against NAFTA, according to Canadian sources.
The staff member reassured Wilson that the criticisms would only be campaign rhetoric, and should not be taken at face value.”

Remember, it was the working poor, not the trendy and sophisticated prepies, that bulit this country and its multitudes of industry.
Inventions may bear your names but you did not invent them. Not even the Faith-Based Initiatives are truly a Bush product. He got that from Adam Clayton Powell’s papers that his daddy got from his CIA-inflicted death.
Clinton’s stealthy agenda was unraveling and coming to light. That is why Ron Brown, His Secretary of Commerce had to die suddenly. It’s not an accident.
