The Political Bear

Barack Obama is again pulling close to Hillary Clinton in more polls. This time because of his stance against NAFTA. Polling shows that Obama has gained three points against Hillary Clinton in Ohio polling, which now has Obama at 43% and Hillary at 48%. The closing of the polls can be attributed to several causes, but one big influence has been Obama crediting Hillary with supporting NAFTA, originally signed into law by President Clinton.

Only 16 percent of Democrats believe NAFTA, which was negotiated under President Bill Clinton, is good for the nation.

What I don’t understand is how a whole party can be so wrong about an issue. It is not that the Democrats just don’t believe in giving up sovereignty, because that is at an acceptable argument- usually made by Ron Paul, it is because they don’t want jobs flowing to Mexico. Will someone please buy 1:00 of airtime and teach the nation trade economics. It isn’t hard to teach, it is fairly easy to understand. In fact, in my next post I will give teach trade 101!

This is just a disturbing number, that I hope my readers understand.
