Reinvent positons? Really? The McCain Campaign said this? This from the guy who can't even remember what he read in his own speech? ("I never criticized the media - somebody just wrote that in my speech!" lol)

The McCain campaign, with a big assist from the media, is running one of the most dishonest and vaccuous campaigns in the history of American politics.

No more lies - not this time.

McCain might just as well give up explaining why Obama's protectionism is a bad deal for America. McCain has to use big words like 'protectionism' and 'unilaterial' and 'rhetoric'. Obama's supporters eyes gloss over when anyone does that, and they'll never understand any concept McCain is trying to explain. You need to keep it down to one syllable words for that bunch to have a chance on getting it.

Using My Brain, WA — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 18:44:40 GMT

Is he really calling Obama a flip-flopper? How does he get away with changing his policy stance depending on who he's talking to and then accusing someone else of doing it without being held accountable for his own actions and rhetoric? "He who casts the first stone...." I hope his glass house gets shattered soon. Obama consistently speaks about being open minded to all points of view about any given topic or subject. That promotes discussion and resolution. McCaine voted against tax cuts that he called "irresponsible in a time of war" and now he vows to make them permanent in order to get the people who supported Bush to vote for him. That's called lying.

If putting Americans back to work, if bringing jobs back to states and cities suffering economic hardships makes Obama a "protectionist," then so be it. McCain is obviously so out of touch and senile to call putting Americans back to work protectionist - hell yes it's protectionist! These are JOBS we need to return and protect from going overseas for cheaper labor!

C A, Tuscaloosa, AL — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 19:31:48 GMT

Obama never said he would unilateraly pull out of any trade deal. He stated he wanted to evaulate and renegotiated trade deals in order to make sure the Amercian worker is not being taken advantage of and that U.S. company's do not continue to move out of the country and overseas for cheap unprotected labor. He wanted to be sure that current trade deals including NAFTA that allow countries to pay very low wages, ignore the benefits and those safety and environmental requirements that U.S. company's offer or must abide by, are unfair to the U.S. worker and do need to be renegotiated as Obama has pointed out. As long as countries as Mexico can get by paying their workers low wages without benefits while ignoring the tough safety and environmental standards U.S. companys are made to follow, any trade deal that results in the loss of American jobs to these countries is unfar and need to be renegotiated.

What is McCain doing in Canada anyway? I suppose he knows he is behind in securing votes here in the U.S. so he thinks he can appeal to other countries. It does not work that way McCain. It is the Amercian voter who elects a President and you are, and will remain, behind our next President, Obama.

Many Canadians want the same things

NAFTA has been the death knell of unions and manufacturing in America
It's probably had similar effects in Canada

I think Obama supporters should be upset with his flip flopping on NAFTA. They were certainly upset when they believed Clinton had flip flopped. Obama supported his change on NAFTA by saying all politicians do it. Well this includes the "old guard" in Washington, so therefore Obama just said he is just like all the other politicians, he'll say what you want to hear until he gets your vote (and money).

McCain won't take questions about NAFTA because its an even pricklier topic in Canada than it is in the US.

NAFTA renegotiation is the pandora's box of policy options, no one should want to open negotiations on it because of what might come out, although I guess you could argue that it couldn't get any worse!

Fear tactics worked for them for Bush II, now they believe that fear tactics will work for Bush III. Appealing to those that still think that Bush II has done a good job as president. He did a horrible job and now they want to offer McCain (Bush III) as the best of the worst they could come up with. Honestly, what a lousy choice!

Mitchell Feldman, Vestal, NY — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:19:04 GMT

Look, NAFTA hasn't been all bad for the U.S. but it could be better for the American worker. It's easy to see that if we don't enforce an equal playing field in terms of pollution standards, workers wages, government subsidies (to name a few) then we will put the American worker at a disadvantage.

Sure, the corporations can outsource jobs or move their operations entirely overseas (to take advantage of the inequities) but the American worker has to deal with the unfair circumstances here in this country. Not all business deals are good for the U.S. worker. We can negotiate better trade deals that ensure protection for our people. That's what Obama's speaking about; he’s not about protectionism. He’s pragmatic and wants a trade deal that makes as much sense for the American worker as is does for the corporate structure (and of course solving the health care premium problem would go a long way to making our workers [and corporate structures] more competitive). We all are aware that we need international trade in order to remain competitive in the global economy but the key is to remain competitive, not to role over like a corpse.
