Barack - NAFTA Story All A Lie

  • 14 Comments
  • by: Phoenix Rising

I suppose it was all a matter of time before it came out, but the reports of Barack’s advisor telling the Canadian government not to worry over his public position on NAFTA were all lies… (Video link to CBC report).

The CBC reports that Canadian diplomatic staff approached Obama’s advisor regarding the NAFTA policy but were not re-assured by the response; they created a false memo and a false storyline to leak to the press instead.

Has the story done its damage?  Will “Obama supports NAFTA behind the backs of workers” stick with voters despite the denials of the Canadian government?  Will it hurt him at the polls?

  1. Being 100 miles from the Canadian border I have never trusted those bastards with their national healthcare and good manners.  Minnesota hockey is better anyway.

    Seriously I thought the timing and tone of the leak was suspisious.  Thanks for meddling Canada.

    This needs to get out there

  2. It almost sounds like, on this issue involving Obama, Hillary and John McC. passed the same exact sheet of talking points back and forth to each other.

    1. According to the Harper government, the memo was “misleading” and the leaked story completely inaccurate.  The memo “overstated” the position advocated by Obama’s advisor – apparently the advisor’s statement was that Obama would seek major revisions in NAFTA but not an all-out end to the treaty.  The leak then compounded the error – it stated that the Obama campaign contacted the Canadian government, when in fact the government contacted Obama’s advisor, Goolsbee.
