It's not Obama that's an idiot, he's getting filthy rich, he's got $91.5 million in his campaign coffers, he's a total complete sell-out.
It's the American people who still support him who are idiots, so stupid they cannot see that Obama is all about more and more foreign cheap labor. No matter how many Americans are without work, all Obama can do is expand NAFTA and destroy more American lives.
I'm going to be starting Truck Driving School soon and already I have to worry about my future career possibly being outsourced or getting paid less.
Definitely time to change your field. You won't have a chance at a job, and the Mexicans will work these jobs for incredibly cheap. They'll flood the jobs.
The OWS seem to have no clue this is going on and they obviously adord Obama the sell out too much to protest where and what they should be protesting. Anyone who isn't bothered by this cannot really claim to care about American jobs.
Just heard on the news radio that Mexican trucking companies got the greenlight to travel deep into America beyond their usual Mexican border where they would swap the shipment out for an American trucking company to proceed with the delivery...Well, now the Mexican trucking companies can delivery on their own now.
You can expect the next attack on America is coming through Mexico.
Thanks Obama, you idiot.
Well, since NAFTA was a treaty negotiated with Canada and Mexico and passed and signed into law with an implementation date of January 1, 1994, my question is simple:
You are the President. What would you have done? Please provide your Constitutional authority for your answer.
For instance, "I would have said NO", is not a valid answer. Or, if it is, please explain what authority the President has to unilaterally tear up a treaty.

Welcome to globalism.
If we had a truly free and open market, you could compete. If you were in a closed market, you could compete. In a market that shackles local merchants and product while letting foreign competitors wander free, you have no chance... unless of course you move your operation to Mexico.
BUT.......... and it's a really big but........ As a foreign national in Mexico, you will not be allowed to own a business (or property within 50 miles of a beach) unless you "partner" with a local who will more than likely rob you blind and leave you in a gutter with your throat slit after you've provided the capital to start a new venture. Go figure.
NAFTA is a giant freaking scam to create an entire nation of serfs and wage slaves. It was meant to be lob sided from the beginning. It's no different than China's most favored nation status. As long as our market is hindered, we cannot compete in a global market. If we want to continue controlling the markets, we have to shut the front door. Air conditioning doesn't work if the freaking windows are open.
I personally am for an open market. Most democrats are actually against NAFTA because they're well aware that in the closed system they prefer, this kind of BS is sheer folly. The Republicans own this one for sure but Obama isn't guilt free because were he actually a real democrat and not an oligarch be would have fought it. While the Republicans were thinking on the lines of free trade, they failed to smell the coffee and realize we don't have a system of free trade and that NAFTA is just plain stupid.
Bush's overly-friendly relationship with Mexico was ridiculous. Along with McCain's.
Never understood it, never liked it.
I understand it, and support it as long as it does not cost american jobs.
It is good for the USA if Mexico is a stable country that does well for itself (like Canada).
But not at the expense of Americans.
