“We’re confident that a free-trade agreement between our countries will create jobs here in the United States,” Obama told reporters. “It will also be good for Panama.”

The fundamental problem Obama faces in the 2012 campaign is that his constituents can no longer afford the illegal drugs that cause statements like this to seem to make sense to them.

Even worse, I’m not even certain that the people who wrote this for Obama even KNEW that it was bull. They may actually believe it.
