I love that he has kept NAFTA in place, has not attempted to "re-negotiate" NAFTA, and has signed multiple other free trade agreements in the face of union opposition. I also think that Mitt Romney's vow to "crack down" on China by labeling it a "currency manipulator" on Day 1 of his presidency is nonsense.

If you also like Obama's policies on trade, then great, sorry if I misunderstood you. I guess Obama truly is a uniter.
