Prior to the start of the primaries I had said Obama is way inexperienced on national matters to be a serious contender for the White House, lacking in both policy and executive skills and experience. But to get where he is he had to have an impressive body count to make it that far in the Chicago political machine.
Now it appears that his NAFTA attacks on Clinton and McCain are typical political filibustering. Big bang, no explosion.
Out of one side of his mouth he slams NAFTA, while at the same time having his minions apologize to Canada and explain he is only talking, he doesn't really mean it.
So what is worse, that B. Hussein lies, or that he feels the need to explain himself to Canada? He is already surrendering to Canada and he hasn't won the nomination yet.

Barack Obama has ratcheted up his attacks on NAFTA, but a senior member of his campaign team told a Canadian official not to take his criticisms seriously, CTV News has learned.
Both Obama and Hillary Clinton have been critical of the long-standing North American
Free Trade Agreement over the course of the Democratic primaries, saying that the deal has cost U.S. workers' jobs. Within the last month, a top staff member for Obama's campaign telephoned Michael Wilson, Canada's ambassador to the United States, and warned him that Obama would speak out against NAFTA, according to Canadian sources.
The staff member reassured Wilson that the criticisms would only be campaign rhetoric, and should not be taken at face value.
But Tuesday night in Ohio, where NAFTA is blamed for massive job losses, Obama said he would tell Canada and Mexico "that we will opt out unless we renegotiate the core labour and environmental standards."
