February 29th, 2008 6:28 pm ET It is amusing to see Senator’s Clinton and Obama take a completly unworkable position on NAFTA. The last thing the US needs is an isolationist tradinging policy in a world economy that has gone global. All that oil in the Canadain oilsands comes at a price and without fair interantional trading the US could see 5.00 gas - not 4.00 |

February 29th, 2008 6:33 pm ET Obama is spending more because he is running against a well known name “Clinton”. No one knew who he was until now. People connected with the Clinton’s seem to forget they have been in office for over eight years already. Very good reason why Obama would spend more on his campaign! Regarding the commercial, what woman don’t call someone else whenever she gets a call through the night? Most times its a man that she calls. Obama is a man, HELLO! He then would contact his men. America is not stupid! |
