Obama vs. Clinton on trade (their policies and records, not flyers and doughnuts) [View All]

To start:

1) Both favored NAFTA expansion in the form of Peru trade (fair trader Edwards opposed it http://www.art-us.org/node/282 but did you hear that scary bad man got a haircut? Good riddance to him!) just three months ago before they were in Wisconsin and Ohio.

2) Both voted against CAFTA, but so did almost every Democrat, including most of the DLC. Don't be fooled. Them opposing CAFTA is not a sign of them being against "free" trade.

3) Both believe globalization is beneficial

4) Clinton wants to review all trade agreements to see if they are working for American workers. Obama will review only NAFTA.

5) Clinton wants a trade agreement "time-out", something long sought by labor unions. Obama hasn't made the same commitment.
