I'm just going to have to believe you instead of my Lying Eyes,
and Hillary...and Obama (version 2008)
Have you contacted Hillary and Obama yet to tell them how WRONG they were?

Better Yet, did you tell DU how WRONG Hillary & Obama were about Free Trade back in 2008?
...or is this a recent passion with you now that we have "NAFTA on Steroids" facing us and needing a good grease job.

Good Luck with your campaign telling the American Worker that NAFTA was GOOD for Working Americans.
It was a little easier to spread that around back in 1992 when we had food in our bellies.
