NAFTA-gate the memo, the fight , the run away from press...

[cyates357]

It was not a "fabricated" memo...it was a summary of the meeting. It factually shows that the Obama's economic advisor talked with the Canadians about NAFTA. Obama flatly denied that the meeting took place, then had to admit it when the memo surfaced. Aside from fighting about the exact wording of the Goolsby's assurance, what else can Obama or the Canadians do?

BTW...thanks for the link.

[SJMarie]

Hillary supporters so desperate for her win that they ignore that Hillary supporter contacted Canada. You guys are pathetic.

[cyates357]

The response by all the "Obamalings" has convinced me that you can't accept the truth about Obama and his NAFTA lie.

From the Globe & Mail - March 7 2008.

"PMO: Officials only got briefing from Obama campaign"

Sorry...sometimes the truth hurts but it's still the truth.

[BigFatTonyCal]

harper is a neocon Gool. Open your eyes canada.

[jimmyphack]

Yeah but I dont think America will fix anything when they have the Chance COUGH ron paul

[BigFatTonyCal]

Good who needs NAFTA.

[supportinghillary]

even with a confirmed memo, obama supporters are thinking "what memo" hillart typed it out herself!...They are quickly trying to turn this story against hillary, but all canadian press is denying it.

[cyates357]

But he'll play dress up in Somalia....

[Natoma1977]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Obama didn't lie. It was the Clinton campaign who actually contacted the Canadians. The truth just came out.

[kirksongs]

That's the lie my friend!! IF he in fact did NOT have someone talking to the Canadians... Why couldn't HE take two minutes and state that at the press corp meeting instead of walking away????? You could say it and you're not even running for president.....are you?

[Natoma1977]

If you keep answering and people keep asking you the same question that you just answered, wouldn't you walk away?

[kirksongs]

Sorry....He didn't answer THAT question 8 times. Reporters do that. Each one represents their own outlet. They each find a way to ask a question in a different way to get another position on the issue. How is he going to deal with the foreign press if he can't find a clear, precise way to answer an issue? Kennedy was good with the press. Clinton and Reagan were as well.B.O. has got to work on that. NAFTA and Resko will be his "Monica" issues.He'd better get to work!

[cyates357]

As far as Clinton's NAFTA problems...we'll see if a memo surfaces detailing Clinton's alleged "wink wink" of NAFTA.

The MSNBC article on Clinton's NAFTA problem was there. Make sure you read all of it...sorry but it doesn't read as you've happily reported.

[kirksongs]

MSNBC???? MSNBC???? The same network who has Chris Matthews??? Chris said..." If you are in a room listening to Barrack Obama speaking and you DON'T cry, you are not an American". Cry???? Is this guy shooting for a press secy. job that will ultimately help the network and could add millions to their bottomline? I'm in P.R. and deal with the media. This guy and network are rediculous. He is a newsman...right? Why does HE call Bush "Commander and cheat"?? and CRYS when he hears Obama? What?????

[cyates357]

MSNBC was the only news programing that was trying too convict Clinton on her suposedly NAFTA "grain of salt" statement. With regards to MSNBC...their news "programming" might have another meaning.

[cyates357]

BTW...more on the Clinton NAFTA connection. When questioned about his Clinton's NAFTA "grain of salt" statement...

"Ian Brodie is alleged to have made an offhand comment about a rumor to a reporter. He does not recall saying it," Sandra Buckler, a spokeswoman for Harper, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.

Remember....His Daddy and Mommie named him Barrack Hussein Obama...Not Hillary and Not the Republicans. Calling him by his full name is mean?? Calling him clean and articulate is mean?? Posting a picture of him in a turban that HE put on is mean?? Barrack, This is NOT American Idol. You are a human being. We Americans elect a human being for President. You are not perfect. Stop walking, talking acting and avoiding the tough issues as though you are. CHANGE is a woman Prez.Not another Man (B/W).

[kirksongs]

If this guy can't stand true, take tough questions and admit when he is wrong, how can he proclaim to carry the torch of change? He calls a white Presidents Stupid(Bush) and race baiters (Clinton).If he can't take a hit,how is he going to protect millions of us? The man is a doughnut boy. He dances away from reality with the words that feed his unreal salient movement.

[arsenioluv]

That's why he's gonna be our commander and chief you idiot!!!! What in the hell you think Bush is?

[kirksongs]

Commander?? This guy can't even command his stupid wife! The first time in her adult life she is proud of her country? None under Clinton? After 9-11 when senator's from both parties sang God Bless America, she was not proud? And YOU are the idiot if you THINK you already KNOW how the election will turn out. How is it that R's can respect and vote for D's and you Barrack Hussein Obama folks HATE Bush and every R. Oh, I know why.. For 32 years all you've had is 2 presidents! Desparation at work.

[arsenioluv]

I think you're in for a rude awakening because "Barack Hussein" Has kept a steady lead!! And he's gonna be the next President!!

[Myaucat]

if it's not lies from obama, it's lies from obama supporters. first of all, that story is old and it does nothing to negate obama's memo as reported today in the globe and mail: "a memo from a Canadian diplomat in Chicago emerged in which Mr. Obama's chief economic adviser, Austan Goolsbee, was quoted as saying that Mr. Obama's NAFTA stand was about "political positioning," rather than an articulation of policy." second, the CND gov is not denying anything, the embassy is.

watch?v=9fcujtEX-Ok

[summerseve]

THIS IS A FALSE REPORT and has been debunked by the Canadian press and government. See here on youtube: watch?v=a0nkZ8Xcb3E

[kirksongs]

Do actually believe that Obama is a PERFECT politician? He and his crew are humans. He can, will and HAS made mistakes. My grandfather's coffin was drapped with an American flag. Barrack Hussein Obama refuses to wear a USA flag pen saying..."It's just pent up patriotism". That was his biggest mistake that he still holds dear. The flag unites us. It is not republican or democrat. He seems to be the false one. It's ok...It's ok. You can call him articulate. Its not racist.

[cyates357]

It's about Obama getting caught in a lie...no matter how you cut it...Obama lied about the NAFTA incident.

[thecanadianvoice]

I agree. The memo can speak for itself. Anything else is just excuses.

Just because a Canadian speaks up about the truth, unlike the news networks that report the candidates in the U.S. running for president, it doesn't mean there is an 'interference'. It's on paper folks, what more do you want?

[pixelbow]

Wrong....

[cyates357]

First...deny the meeting took place.

Next...deny that my (Obama's) economic advisor gave the 'wink wink' on NAFTA to the Canadians.

Finally...admit that my (Obama's) economic advisor talked to the Canadians as a college professor...but not as my (Obama's) economic advisor.

[minniemom08]

BO shows his true colors . . . nothing more than a sleazy, lying politician. Good will prevail and Hillary will be our next President!

[zangdook]

Hillary Clinton's pinocchio nose is a lot longer than Barack Obama's. He didn't even know that meeting was taking place. You need to be careful not to fall for Canadian dirty tricks. Remember Canada has a right-wing government.

[minniemom08]

Saying he didn't know the meeting took place was his first lie - his second one was that there was a telephone call, but no meeting - the third one was that he wasn't really friends with Rezko - the fourth one was that he would accept public financing for the GE -- I could go on and on . . . but the lies (and Obama) are a waste of my time.

[seattlegonz]

Political positioning...BO is bad news.

[zangdook]

Those are Canadian words. Obama didn't even authorise that meeting, and Goolsbee says they misrepresented his words. Obama is the best chance we have.

[seattlegonz]

That's what all politicians say...

He doesn't represent democratic values and won't stand up for minorities and women. He's almost the worst choice we have.
