I guess they see that Obama is going to be president. "I'm not a big believer in doing things unilaterally," Obama said, adding that he had just spoken to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who expressed concern about the free trade debate in February and March. "I'm a big believer in opening up a dialogue and figuring out how we can make this work for all people." Sound like Canada is ready to make some consession on NAFTA already.

Sorry the corporate powers at be don't like the idea but NAFTA has not been good for Mexican farmers and has indeed contributed to illegal immigration because rural workers who usually work on farms have no work in their country. We can figure out something that works for everyone, just take away greed and add a little intelligence and determination. Hmm...I am an ardent supporter of Sen.

Why can't we get a politician that sticks to what he actually believes? Oh yeah, we did have one in Ron Paul. Looks like nobody wants that kind of moral fortitude.

You tell them one thing to get nominated and another to become President. May be we too should take another look at you for President and maybe we will change our minds!

Basically, what Obama is saying is that he doesn't have a very level head and that sometimes he lets hyperbole take over when things get tough. The candidate is hinting at his dishonesty on the matter and brushing it off as "overheated" rhetoric. This is change we can lie about. The rank cynicism of this move staggers the imagination.

They make it sound as though he is flip flopping like Mc Cain did on off shore oil drilling. He's position on this issue has been the same all along! he has stated at many debates and in many speeches that he does not think NAFTA or free trade can be accomplished it just needs to be rewritten so that it is fair and balanced for all people involved as right now it is taken away our jobs and giving us very little in return. I wish CNN would report facts and stop making up stories. I love CNN and there bias made up headlines! They make it sound as though he is flip flopping like Mc Cain did on off shore oil drilling.
