#1 This is a reassuring move on Obama's part. He may be a normal, self-interested politician rather than a Marxist true believer. If so, expect to see MoveOn and the rest thrown under the bus once he is in office.

Still not a risk we can afford to take.

#2 The problem is all the people he would appoint are True Believers and they are the ones who actually $#@& things up.

#3 NAFTA- A globalist scheme, set up and pushed through by a Democrat, now greedily coveted and protected by Republicans and wage scavenging billionaire industrialists. Trade corridor my ass, it was set up to bust unions and lower wages and overhead for companies, and that's just what it did. I don't give a rat's ass who reports it had a "mild, positive effect on the economy", that's bullshit. It quite possibly did have a positive effect to medium and large business OWNERS, but I've never met any working person who got a job out of NAFTA.

#4 Don't look now Jim but most of the world's "wage scavengin billionaire industrialists" are no longer US citizens and the certainly aren't setting up shop around here anymore.

Hint: this is not necessarily a good thing.
