Hillary Clinton is opposed to NAFTA...?
She claims it will be a priority to get rid of this treaty. I'm curious, who was the U.S. president that signed this treaty in the first place?

Actually she has said she wants to re-negotiate NAFTA and would only consider trashing it if the re-negotiations would not favor the US. A viable position. And what has the Bush administration done for the past 7+ years about NAFTA other than complain about it? He certainly could have re-negotiated also. The NAFTA agreement was signed under Clinton but the beginnings of it started with the end of Reagan and through Bush Sr.

Bush 1, Clinton 1, and Bush 2 all sold the American people out with NAFTA, and what is worse is that both Clinton 2 and Obama intend to do the same.

Bill Clinton signed it and she was for it up until she ran for President and now she is a against it and if she thinks people are for it then she will be again and if she were to be elected you can bet she would leave it in place.

No, she doesn't want to get 'rid' of it! She wants to revise it! So she can regulate other countries.
It's funny how those states with Unions are the only ones doing bad because of NAFTA. Those without are flourishing.....haha....how clever to blame it on NAFTA.
And it was Clinton's baby.

Bill Clinton put it through; but dems could not go after him for it because the cons were too busy going after him for his private life. So Nafta was kind of ignored for a while thanks to their brilliant misdirection.
And even now HC has not claimed it would be a priority to get rid of NAFTA, she just says she would threaten to withdraw unless we could renegotiate parts of it - totally empty promises from both of the major dem candidates.
Find a real issue, NAFTA is probably safe from both major parties.

Simple minded rhetoric. She was the first lady, not the President. Also, Bill went along with the Republican Controlled Congress that would override his veto if he didn't fall into line. ill didn't like the idea anymore than Bubba di, and now she can say so. I guess some people don't read history.
