Obama campaign implicated in pure bunkum play? Playing Ohio voters for fools? This should be the story of the presidential campaign month.
Seems to me that if the CTV report is true, the fawning, adoring, beguiled Obama supporters the U.S. should snap out of their stupor. They could add questions surrounding this, to the list of 8,000 that have purposely not been asked yet by the fawning, adoring beguiled liberal-left mainstream media, either there or here.
Hillary Clinton is implicated as well.
Obama staffer gave warning of NAFTA rhetoric

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.”
Late Wednesday, a spokesperson for the Obama campaign said the staff member’s warning to Wilson sounded implausible, but did not deny that contact had been made.
“Senator Obama does not make promises he doesn’t intend to keep,” the spokesperson said.
Where is the liberal media outrage? For that matter, where in tarnation is the McCain campaign? This could be the biggest hit in the campaign.
