Hillary's Campaign also FLIP FLOPPED on NAFTA!

Looks like the former UWO Prof is the first person the security personnel should be interviewing!

But here's the bit that should not be overlooked in the story:

Since 75 per cent of Canadian exports go to the U.S., Mr. Obama and Ms. Clinton's musings about reopening the North American free-trade pact had caused some concern.

Mr. Brodie downplayed those concerns.

"Quite a few people heard it," said one source in the room.

"He said someone from (Hillary) Clinton's campaign is telling the embassy to take it with a grain of salt. . . That someone called us and told us not to worry."

Government officials did not deny the conversation took place.
And this:

But others said the content of Mr. Brodie's remarks was passed on to CTV's Washington bureau and their White House correspondent set out the next day to pursue the story on Ms. Clinton's apparent hypocrisy on the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Although CTV correspondent Tom Clark mentioned Ms. Clinton in passing, the focus of his story was on assurances from the Obama camp.

Looks like Mrs. Clinton has been talking out of both sides of her mouth.

Wow not biased at all. That last sentence was a piece of work considering Obama by that logic spoke out of both sides as well. I wonder if you wrote a post on Obama's NAFTA-gate or just restricted your skills to this copy and paste job?

Hey Scott,

Welcome to the dialog. I don't really care which of the two Dems gets the nomination, I just hate the hypocrisy of Hillary lambasting Obama for something her campaign did as well.

So, yes if this is what was done on both sides, shame on both of them. Nonetheless it clearly is a case of the Pot calling the Kettle black.
