CNN

Does anyone hear the emptiness in Obama!!!!! All I heard at the debate was I will debate that anytime!!! I heard it over and over. What a better time to debate than at the debate!!!!!! the only time he has good answers is when his speech writters have written a speech for him!!! He needs to have ideas on what to do to fix things not just talk them to death!!!!!!!! I hear empty promises with no real ideas."I will be happy to have that debate" Obama you were at the Debate why did you not debate it?????? America wake up before its to late!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing lacking in the trade agreement is "fair labor standards", add those, it stops the job lose and contrary to a lot of hogwash you read on this subject, we still want to sell overseas as that also creates jobs here at home. Please stop trying to make him a saint. He voted for the Peru trade agreement. If he did not like the agreement, maybe he should have voted "present", oh, I don't think we can do that in the U.S.Senate.

Paying someone 25 cents an hour for labor compared to minimum wage here will never be a level playing field.I just hope the Pro-NAFTA people get a taste at losing their jobs from it someday.

To Bayou Joe:

Hillary Clinton points out that she has been part and parcel involved in all of the good things that happen when Bill was in office in Arkansas and the White House. She literally lays claim to all of the good things and refuses, as does Bill Clinton, to accept any blame for the wrong things they committed, whether intentional or accidental.

Based on her own logic and claim, Hillary Clinton would have to also be responsible for all of the good and bad things that happen during Bills political career.

Bill Clinton had the chance not to sign NAFTA into law when he was president but he did anyway. Hillary and Bill are on record saying how great NAFTA was going to be for the nation. Well, it was great, just not for the manufacturing industry workers.

Hillary and Bill should own up to their responsibilities and stop ducking and dodging their failures and betrayal of US workers and citizens. Tell the truth and stop smearing a good man and better leader.

Go Obama!

Everybody knows the Clintons are a political duo... NAFTA, which is now hurting U.S and Latin American countries alike is one if not the biggest accomplishments of the Clintons during their 8yrs in power. G.H Bush drafts it and Clinton signs it in as law... a continuation of Bush-Clinton dynasties. Clinton votes for a Bush war in Iraq and Bill defends them afterwards... same old.. same old! WE WANT CHANGE!

CNN...can you stop cluttering up the rational comments being made by eliminating the kiddish things we have to flip down through to read them if they are not relevant to the news article? They read like U2 and Facebook....much ado about nothing........and worse, we are going to let them vote?

WANT INFO ON REZKO TRIAL, START TODAY

I could not help LMAO reading Bill Clinton has been saying that Hillary was against NAFTA when he signed it.

Bill: Remember you are an ex-president. Have some respect for that position even though you did not display any respect for the oval office during your presidency.

Do not shoot your loud mouth off because America stopped believing you a long time ago.

If Obama thinks NAFTA is so bad, why hasn't he fought to change it while he has been a Senator, or is this just more pandering from the King of Pandering?

So far Obama hasn't shown that he really understands how trade works in our country. His policies lack specifics, and his foreign policy specifically lacks experience and good jugement. Clinton shows a mastery over trade issues and foreign policy. Obama could learn a lot under her wing, and then be ready in 2016 for his turn.

WHAt does he know about trade NOTHING. HE doesn't stand for nothing, all he ever says he is going to change the world. This guys a joke. I have relatives in Ohio,that thinks he a joke also. Noooooooooo Obama, don't want to see FARRAkan having dinner at the White House.

Hillary seemed comfounded sunday. I

since it is so easy Hillary, Bring in the crouds.

Bill and Obama connect with people. You connect with data.
Know your role, and you will be a benefit to all.

Obama and Bill Inspires

You make an audience want to retire.

However, You skill are appreciated and needed in other ways.

Ohio is not going to be label again as the state that dropped the ball for change and not more of the same.

Obama 08

Global trade is a reality.

NAFTA needs adjustments and Hillary has been voicing this position since 20001.

Obama, that s true, YOU R ABOUT "JUST WORDS" but words do not change anything, experience and character do so, and that s what Hillary has.
It seems that many people are being brainwashed by the fairytales told by Obama.
Hillary is our best chance to make a difference and restore our economy ( if you remember, we are entering recession) It took a Clinton to clean a mess, it will take another to solve our problems.
Hillary for President!

Again, Hillary Clinton is not Bill Clinton. Yes, she claims to have accomplishments from her years as first lady, and she did accomplish much on her own, but she was not for NAFTA then or now. Those who know her have always said she was against the idea of NAFTA but it was not in her hands. I'm really tired of people condemning Hillary for things her husband did during his presidency. And, by the way, he brought us peace and prosperity during those 8 years. If y'all connect Bill and Hillary, why don't you give her credit for that?

Obama is not for Nafta and Now that Hillary is running for Prez. She is still voting for it in the Senate, but now she is against it. HUH!!!! So I guess when it is convenient you say you are against the war and now against Nafta.

Hillary for 08 ????

The Clinton Administration was aware that some states would suffer more than others under NAFTA. It was a calculated sacrifice and it's not surprising that Ohioans are angered in retrospect. What is suprising though is that, in spike of NAFTA and the lost of jobs, Ohioans still favor Hilliary Clinton over Barak Obama according to the latest polls. Clinton voters in Ohio should remember this phase when they go to the polls... "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me".

I know a few people where I now work that have told me that they will not buy anything made in America. Why? They do not trust the quality of the products made here. So if everyone in this country feels the same way then no ones job will be safe fore long. All companies will move to find better workers and at one third the cost for labor. We all need to change before any president can do it.

CNN, why are you only reporting on the campaign's allegations against each other? As journalists, shouldn't you also look at whether the allegations are truthful and report on that? There is much left unsaid in your ticker story above.

As a native Ohioan, it's pathetic to see the job loss of Ohioans because of trade agreements. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Ohioans in soup lines during the Republican administration it looked like something my parents described that happened in the 1940's. Vote Obama if you want change.

Oh for God Sakes!!! Get real you idiots!! Read what you're writing. Claims to this, and I know's to this. You know jack! For college kids, your awfully stupid. If your paying for this education, then learn something before you speak.

Clinton haters, you've got your facts wrong, Obama haters, your just pain dumb. Let these two fight it out without your help. I will vote for the Democrat. Clinton or Obama. One of you will be the next President. Hopefully Clinton. If not, I will vote for Obama. End of story!

I find it troubling that Obama has been criticizing NAFTA but stated that he wouldn't eliminate it..... he said the reason is because eliminating NAFTA would lead to further job losses...

But instead of criticizing NAFTA, why doesn't he propose a solution to end NAFTA that would prevent further job losses?

He gives great speeches about Hope and Change.... why not talk about his idea on getting rid of NAFTA?

Does he have ideas??

Do we want another divider as president?

To all the people in Ohio who still think Hillary is the answer, consider this. Hillary may be the more experienced candidate, but does that mean she will make a dramatic turnaround in our country? Unfortunately, no. Hillary alienates fellow politicians who do not completely agree with her. She plays party politics. She refuses to budge, listen, or cooperate. Is this how she thinks she will make a change for the better? There's a reason why many people (citizens and politicians) dislike Hillary. So far, her supporters say that doesn't matter. Well it does matter. All her experience won't get anything done because she makes people hate her.

Truth is, the only person that is more divisive than George W Bush is Hillary Clinton.

As an independent voter, I support Obama because he is committed to uniting us and bringing us together for a positive change. It's about time. The stubborn, "us vs. them" political tactics of President Bush and Hillary Clinton aren't getting us anywhere. With Barack Obama we will be one America again.

The problem that has been created by Obama mania, is that it is feeding an over blown image of someone who has a very thin resume and seems to be fed new lines, new press and new policies by his campaign handlers. All of a sudden he's an expert on everything. What's bothersome about this is Obama seems to just wrap himself up in all this glory worship himself – he's starting to believe his own publicity.

barack will say whatever he wants to critique and criticize clinton.
but then he doesnt have any solutions to fix problems.... its easy to just call people out on issues, but what kind of president are you if you dont have any solutions.

barack is a waste of time and money.

itll be mcain clinton and nader.

Obama should give up, because you need more training. Hillary Clinton will win!!!!

What would Obama know about trade policy? Oh I forget, those couple of years that he spent overseas as a child make him an expert. And for all of the Hillbilly's that are going nuts over NAFTA, get real. The days of isolation are over, and have been since WWII. This is a policy that would have been put into place one way or another. If you dont like it America, STOP purchasing foreign goods.Educate yourselves what companies use foreign labor and stop supporting them. I do find it amazing however, that the Obamazombies are so critical of NAFTA, but dont care about illegal immigration. Illegal immigration bites into the labor market too, Obama and his cronies are doing backflips to support illegal immigration. Hypocrites!! I am ademocratandhave always been a democrat.I have never voted for a republican in 30 years.If Obama gets the nomination, I will and I urge all Clinton supporters to vote for McCain!!

If he thinks the NAFTA is wrong, does he has a better idea?

Criticize is always easy and makes people happy!

THE IMPORTANT THING IS YOU ARE RUN FOR PRESIDENT, AN EXECUTIVE, YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR OWN SOLUTIONS, NOT JUST ALWAYS CRITICIZE.

Since 1968 there have been 10 elections, the democrats have lost seven of those elections. Of the three democratic victories one was because of Nixon and Watergate. The other two elections were won by one man Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton ran as a centrist whereas all the other democratic candiadates ran from the left. The American People have shown with consistency that they reject the left. And now we democrats might again nominate a leftist candidated Obama. Chalk up another lose for the democrats. Something that I thought would be improbable a few months.
I think that the centrist in the Democratic Party and the Moderates in the Republican Party should get together and form a new party.
For when over half the people do not vote it is obvious that our political system is failing us.

How can Obama blast Hillary for NAFTA when he says he support free trade.

Obama is a hypocrit and a phony

People WAKE UP

NAFTA

Being that Obama does not have much of a record, including on trade, I guess it is easy to throw stones. This is Obama's pattern because he has very little experience at this magnitude that it is easy to 2nd guess and find fault with other candidates. I bet if he tried he could also find many things wrong with Ted Kennedy, but that would not do him any good...

Sorry Hillary, you can't run from your past or try to "re-spin" it. I have heard Hillary try to take credit for being apart of the 1990s economic growth. NAFTA was apart of that 1990s economic growth plan. Bill Clinton still tries to defend it, while Hillary now disowns it. Ahh, the pattern emerges, Hillary says one thing and does another. I think the foundation is being laid for fireworks at the last debate before March 4th.

Obama in 08!

HELLO...are you living under a rock? NAFTA was signed under the Bill Clinton administration. It is a complete disaster! Lost jobs in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Why do you think the economy in the USA is poor and the crime rate in Mexico is phenomenal. NAFTA is horrible. Now of course, the wealthy have no problems with NAFTA. Obama was correct in his statement that NAFTA did not put food on the table. NAFTA slaped the bottle right out the baby's mouth and left that baby malnourished and crying for help.

NAFTA is NORTH AMERICAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT. How in the world does Obama tie this into our loss of jobs to India and China. If anything we need to form an America Continent Free trade Agreement to compete with Asia (China & India & Japan) for the sale of our goods in Latin America. Chinese manufactured goods are coming into Mexico and the rest of Latin America. Also China has been propping up the Mexican Banking system and ours too. That is what we should be concerned with. How much influence is China weilding in Mexico and in our economy? World trade is good, but it must be fair trade, not what the Democrats gave us during the Clinton Adminstration.

ALERT...WANT INFO ON PETER PAUL /HILLARY CLINTON COURT CASE IN CALIFORNIA...IT IS UNDER WRAPS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF HILLARY RUNNING FOR PRES........IT IS A MUST SEE.

YOU TUBE.................2 UNCENSORED VIDEOS....WHAT HILLARY DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE....IT IS THE TRUE CLINTONS, AT THEIR BEST DECEIVING PEOPLE....

THE REPUBLICANS WILL BURN HER WITH THIS, IN A GENERAL ELECTION WITH MUCH, MUCH MORE..

NAFTA was drafted by George H. Bush and signed by Clinton when he took office. NAFTA does not address or correct any imbalances caused by the predatory trade practices of China. Even Mexico is loosing manufacturing jobs to China.

Maybe we need to look at the interests of the US instead of the interests of the rest of the world. We send billions overseas to help other countries while ours deteriorates. The global economy will be the death of the US.

Hey CNN, why don't you fix your link so we can read the WHOLE story! Your "dull story" link goes to the Dean/McCain FEC article.

Though I think NAFTA is a good thing, I find it amazing that Obama is trying to make it seem like he is against it when he supported it before! This is not the kind of change I want.

Obama doesn't understand trade, let alone the economy. He says anything his advisors tell him to say, even if it directly contradicts what he's said publicly in the past. He won't fix trade, he can't even come up with a decent housing crisis solution. His lack of experience is showing more and more these days. I know, to fix trade, let's open up to Cuba! Sorry Obama, your Cuban policy is out of wonderland. People are starting to see through your facade.

NAFTA was a core accomplishment of a centrist (i.e. electable) Democrat who understood the need to compete in a global economy, and there's no turning back. Hillary is not a centrist, and Obama is too far left for 90% of the voters. Hello, President McCain.

Is Obama trying to say that he would not have signed up to NAFTA?

If he is he is a liar.

This is simple.

The Clintons helped ruin the economy, and are not big enough to admit the mistake. People like me who supported the idea at the time have admitted our wrong... why can't they?

Oh that's right...

Because the QUEEN OF ENTITLEMENT does not have to admit anything. Ever.

Clinton did support NAFTA at one time and now she's switching her stance. I understand that, but at LEAST she should admit it.

Obama has stated that NAFTA cannot be overhauled now, but at least we can make changes that included better trade deals with America and it's workers. He was being honest and I appreciate that in a candidate.

If Hillary had been president in 1960:

"I hear a lot of nonsense, crazy talk about mounting a manned mission to the moon. Let's get real. The moon is too far away. The technological challenges are insurmountable. The costs are too high. There is simply no way we can seriously consider manned space flight to the moon."

Does anyone know what Obama has accomplished in the Illinois legislature and Senate? I have not found one thing he did except to get his Nuclear power bill deep sixed even after he changed wording to suit the Nuke power plant people. I guess he can continue to attack others for their voting record because he has none. Actions speak louder than inspirational words!

Obama is on the right side of this issue!

Obama 08'

Cheap shot! What does Obama knows about free trade

See my website obamavets.com for an article that presents Hillary's veiws in HER own words.

On NAFTA: Hillary supported the concept when her husband signed it into law in 1993, but American manufacturing jobs ended up in Asia.

NAFTA originally was about an economic bloc stretching from Canada all the way down to the bottom of South America, so Hillary's co-presidential support for Bill's signing NAFTA into law that allowed American jobs to end up in Asia is what Obama is talking about. He is not lying. He has Hillary on the defense!

On HEALTH CARE: By her own admission, Hillary's government will FORCE EVERYONE to sign on to the plan, and anyone who doesn't will have their wages/salaries garnished. If it is government enforced, then it is universal, but by FORCE!

It's what socialist governments do by force, so we are actually looking at socialist government through the thinking of Hillary on health care. More socialist enforced moves to come?

Obama's health plan is universal in that it is available to all who seeks it, but he wants to leave an opening for people to opt out and go for an independent plan at their own expense. There is no socialist-like government enforcement or garnishing of wages.

Obama is right. If Clinton is claiming her husband's experience as her own, she has to take the good and the bad. That's what happens when you tout your non-existent experience.

Hillary = NAFTA

Hillary should take responsibility for her "bad judgement"
