Reports that Barack Obama’s campaign had surreptitiously contacted the Canadian government to reassure them that the tough talk about renegotiating NAFTA was not to be taken seriously, surfaced immediately following last weeks Democratic Presidential debate.

Both Obama and Clinton rebuked the current version of the NAFTA agreement during the debate and committed to either forcing Canada and Mexico back to the bargaining table or threatening to completely renege on the deal. Clinton attempted to distance herself from her record of supporting the NAFTA agreement implemented under her husbands administration.

What is particularly interesting about this story is the Clinton campaign had attacked Obama for several days for saying one thing at the debate and then having “a wink and nod” meeting with Canada. Hillary has been on the attack and has used this in stump speeches in Wyoming and Pennsylvania, two states holding primaries over the next couple of weeks. Now it is being reported that her campaign had a similar meeting or discussion with the same official at the Canadian embassy in Washington.

Neither of these candidates are being honest with the American people. They both appeared on national television and told us how serious they were about fixing the mess  Hillary’s husband created during his Presidency, with her support and admiration. Now it turns out they both have a back door message to Canada that it is ‘only words’, not to worry.

I have previously posted about the Clintons arrogance and lack of honesty. Now we have another Democratic Presidential candidate who doesn’t know the difference between the truth and lies.
