Hillary Hits Obama Over Latest Obama NAFTA Story
Hillary is already out with a statement hitting Obama over the Associated Press story reporting that a Canadian official said in a memo that Obama economic adviser Antan Goolsbee privately suggested that Obama's NAFTA stump talk was "more about political positioning than a clear articulation of policy plans."
Here's her statement...
I think that after days of denial, the Obama campaign was confronted with a memo of a meeting -- it was my understanding -- in which there was a discussion of NAFTA. And it raises questions about Senator Obama coming to Ohio and giving speeches about NAFTA and having his chief economic advisor tell the Canadian government that it was just political rhetoric. I don’t think people should come to Ohio and tell the people of Ohio one thing and then have your campaign tell a foreign government something else behind closed doors.
Goolsbee has disputed the memo's characterization of the conversation, saying: "In no possible way was I inferring that he was going to introduce any policies that you should ignore and he had no intention of enacting."
It's unclear how this latest turn in the whole saga will play in Ohio, where NAFTA is a highly-charged issue, or whether it's coming too late to move votes there.
