Obama for NAFTA Now?

[pennypinch]

The general campaign is now in full swing and voters are there for the taking. Barack Obama seems to have changed his views on NAFTA, one of his most vocalized opinions during the campaign. Now he doesn't want to completely do away with NAFTA. Which is something he often said during his campaign to become the nominee. He has referred to it as "devastating" and "a big mistake." Nafta (North American FreeTrade Agreement) is a pact that allows for free trade on most goods produced and sold in North America.

"Sometimes during campaigns the rhetoric gets overheated and amplified," he conceded, after I reminded him that he had called NAFTA "devastating" and "a big mistake," despite nonpartisan studies concluding that the trade zone has had a mild, positive effect on the U.S. economy.

NAFTA greatly effects the economy in different ways in different areas of the United States. Helpful to some while sending jobs out of the country for others. What really gets me though is Obama's ideas changing radically out of the blue. Makes me wonder!
