On NAFTA, Was Ross Perot Right?

HRC: "All I can remember from that is a bunch of charts...NAFTA did not do what many had hoped....we do need to figure out how to have trade relations that are smart....It was a mistake to the extent that it did not deliver as we thought it would..."

Obama reiterates support for the Peru Trade Agreement....gives a solid answer on China and the example of Japan. A very astute answer on a complex subject...a mastery of a domestic issue that doesn't come up everyday in every state...

As Marc notes here, Obama's answers have SUBSTANCE!!!

David is right on; that was a terrible moment for her. She got away with it on the stage, but someone should have pointed out that in upstate New York towns that lost most of their manufacturing jobs, they remember it.
