A liberal blog site, the DailyKos, is live blogging the
Obama-Clinton debate in Ohio tonight. I hate watching debates...
or campaign speeches... or political speeches for that matter. So
I don't live blog.
But this interesting tidbit is thrown out, paraphrasing Hillary:
And on to NAFTA. Was Clinton opposed at the outset but unable to
say so because it was her husband's administration? It may not surprise
you to learn that there is disagreement on this point.
I've always said she was for it, and should not say she was against
it. The better tack would be to say she saw the results and now
changed her mind. I also seem to remember a quote from her
autobiograph (I did not read it) that says she supported NAFTA, but its
late and I'm not going to look for it now.
Her explanation tonight is plausible. I simply don't know whether to believe it. And I'm not sure it matters now.
Just move on and fix today's trade problems. Currency,
VAT-tariffs, unsafe imported products, trade agreement moratorium to
fix our policy and goals, etc. Commit to that and I'm ok with it.
