I wasn't aware that Rahm had such a vital role in NAFTA. Now I know. And he played such a huge part in Obama's first term.

I guess we know where the President stands on free trade. Yet the President acknowledged there was damage from NAFTA. Seems like a whole lot of doublespeak from the administration when it comes to trade.
