Obama Flip Flops on NAFTA, Free Trade

Obama's inexperience or ability to lie has led him into a trap that he can't get out of

First of all, Obama says NAFTA is bad, which he has to say in Ohio to knock out Hillary Clinton from the Democratic primary race.

But he really doesn't believe what he is saying because out of the other side of his mouth he states he supports free trade.

In a laughable statement he says, "What the world should interpret is my consistent position, which is I believe in trade." By saying "consistent", he means "inconsistent". It is humorous how he tries to mitigate his flip-flopping by adding the word "consistent".

But Barack Obama is just (and only) "words". If you believe in Barack Obama, you might as well believe in Santa Claus.

As Hillary Clinton said, as she mimicked the slick tongued Obama, "I could stand up here and say, 'Let's just get everybody together, let's get unified, the sky will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing, and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect.' " Then Clinton went on to mock Obama's magic wand. At least when John McCain shed the light on the bubble headed Obama he was nice about it.

More Democratic flip flops from the Washington Post.
