Even as the Bush administration frantically - and incredibly - insisted that free trade isn’t the problem but the solution, most other countries are taking a second look at the model. As the crisis sets in, Europe wants more regulation and developing countries want more policy space. And Americans want more protection from the disaster that’s currently befalling them.

get out of your liberal programming. break it! smash it to pieces! you were lied to in college! they taught you DEATH. Obama is just as bad, maybe worse than Bush. There's nothing wrong with demanding a job and a role in your own nation! They want to divest you of all political power.

This has nothing to do with liberal programming, I am stating the facts about what got us to this point. Clinton kicked it off in 1994, Bush continued the stupidity and now Obama is still deciding.

During the Democratic primaries and caucuses, when Obama and Hillary Clinton were competing in the Rust Belt states, Obama began attacking NAFTA. He stated that he would re-negotiate the treaty and even abrogate it if his demands were not met. He declared in Cleveland: "I think we should use the hammer of a potential opt-out as leverage to ensure that we actually get labor and environmental standards that are enforced." Mr. Obama's statements were well-received in the Midwest where many workers blame NAFTA for the loss of jobs in the auto, manufacturing and textile industries. I plan to wait and see what legislation and policies he will support before downtalking his strategy to thwart job losses. Up to this point, we have not seen much effort placed into NAFTA, WTO, etc.

Remember, it was Clintons flunky who was defending free trade even when sir James Goldsmith explained that free trade agreements need to be setup with like economies where payscales are similar.
