Every program this man proposes has the direct effect of costing the American people more money. Obama wants to raise taxes, end trade agreements that have lowered prices for many products, not look for new sources of energy, start huge inefficent government programs, and expand the governments control and take over of the health care, energy production, banking, and farming industries. It's not clear why Obama is doing this because everything he proposes to do will hurt the country in both the short and long term.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But, heh, he's gives a good speech.</description></item><item><title>McCain: Hitting Obama on NAFTA</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/20/1157183.aspx#1157237</link><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2008 13:25:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1157237</guid><dc:creator>jerry/corpus christi texas</dc:creator><description>We all found out abour promises from Obama yesterday and how easy it is for him to break his promises....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;John McCain has pretty much kept his promises all throughout his career, so for Obama to attack his character now after that goofy stunt he pulled yesterday, shows that McCain has won the trust and honor part of this race hands down.</description></item><item><title>McCain: Hitting Obama on NAFTA</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/06/20/1157183.aspx#1157239</link><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2008 13:25:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1157239</guid><dc:creator>Nashville_fan</dc:creator><description>Dear John McCain:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What is your message to the American people?

You pay a few taxes (maybe). You hire a few of their workers. You gain access to that country's resources. You polute in that country. You return the profits to the head office back home.&lt;br&gt;BTW, have you talked to the average Canadian?
