This could be bullsh&^, or it could be some staffer or economic adviser freelancing.
Or the report that a staffer told the Canadian ambassador that, “criticisms would only be campaign rhetoric, and should not be taken at face value“, could be true.
CTV is fairly reliable, and I think that Obama is way to savvy to knowingly let someone do this, even if that [b]WAS[/b] his real position (which it probably is, he voted for CAFTA).
It’s simply too politically stupid.
I think that it was one of his economic advisers freelancing, and whoever it was, they should be fired today.
