They're both free traders [Hillary to Canadians: Don't worry about my NAFTA Complaints]

This is an excerpt:

Mr. Brodie [The Canadian Prime Minister's chief of staff], apparently seeking to play down the potential impact on Canada, told the reporters the threat was not serious, and that someone from Ms. Clinton's campaign had even contacted Canadian diplomats to tell them not to worry because the NAFTA threats were mostly political posturing.

[Koblenz]

So Hillary accuses Barack Obama of telling the Canadians one thing and Ohioans another, and it turns out her campaign did the exact same thing.

Lessons to be learned:

1) Hillary is a hypocrite
2) She'll say anything to get elected
3) Election strategy probably shouldn't be discussed with the Canadians because they blab
4) Obama and Hillary even lie about the same stuff.

All 3 candidates are sleazy politicians.

Clinton's campaign had even contacted Canadian diplomats to tell them not to worry because the NAFTA threats were mostly everything we say is political posturing.

If you don't already know 1,2 and 4 you just haven't been paying attention.

Anyway, Canada isn't the primary problem with NAFTA. They have very similar wages, standard of living and government system to us. They are they type of country we should have 100% free trade with. The problem is the other end of NAFTA.

“The problem is the other end of NAFTA.”

That other end of NAFTA also ships us our largest amount of oil and because of NAFTA we get preferential treatment in regards to buying their oil. This helps keep the price down. One thing to keep in mind.

I tend to agree but see no point in NAFTA when dealing with Canada. They're an honest and equal trading partner anyway.

Well, Hillary voted for NAFTA and she did not initiate NAFTA accusations. Obama claims to be anti-NAFTA in public to hurt Hillary, but behind the scenes he assures everyone involved that - according to Canadian memo - he is the “least protectionist” of all candidates.

They all lie, but Obama makes an effort to be A+ student of that infamous doctor who recommended making lies big enough and repeating them long enough...

In short, Obama managed remarkable feat - to be much sleazier than Hillary.

This is all over FR. Is it all over Ohio? Sorry Ohioans, most people who are not getting alternate news are very naive.

As Jedi Hillary speaks, she waves her hand over the
entranced dupes. Then with her irritating and scratchy
Yoda voice, she says...., “You don’t need to be concerned
about my little socialist, liberty strangling, Anti-American,
distributionist agenda”.
