MONTEBELLO, Quebec: President George W. Bush said Tuesday that the 12-year-old trade agreement between the United States, Canada and Mexico had boosted the economies of all three countries and that cooperation on border security would keep commerce flowing.

Bush, who is confronting rising protectionism in the U.S. Congress, spoke of the benefits of the North American Free Trade Agreement as he concluded a summit meeting with President Felipe Calderón of Mexico and the Canadian prime minister, Stephen Harper.

"Nafta, which has created a lot of political controversy in our countries, has yielded prosperity," Bush said. "The question we are faced with is, 'How do we continue to enhance prosperity?' "

There is no excuse for PRAISING that crapfest -- there are "politically correct" ways to just acknowledge that it has some good and bad points and that perhaps it needs some tweaking but to actually say it's been GOOD for our economy??????????? He is beyond help at this point -- God help us!

When a motherfucking CAT 5 hurricane is plowing through his country.

And, damn. It's almost John McCain's birthday. They can stop by his place in Arizona for some cake on the way back home.

"deja vu all over again"

Wow.

He's fried!

one of those meetings where he's discussing the forming of a North American Union? :(

"enhance prosperity"? Six syllables in two words? I bet it took him three hours to memorize those two sentences.

one knows isn't in the best interest of US Citizens.
