McCain attacks Obama over ‘cowboy diplomacy’
:wtf:

McCain attacks Obama over ‘cowboy diplomacy’
By Andrew Ward in Washington


John McCain has accused Barack Obama of “cowboy diplomacy” over free trade that threatened to undermine relations with Canada and reverse the benefits of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

The Republican presidential candidate made the attack before heading to Ottawa on Friday for a speech championing the virtues of free trade.

Writing in the Detroit Free Press, Mr McCain said it would be the “height of economic and foreign policy irresponsibility” to demand renegotiation of Nafta, as Mr Obama proposed in February.

Mr McCain said Mr Obama was wrong to have argued that Nafta had “devastating” consequences for US communities. “What truly would be devastating is to jeopardise the trade expansion of Nafta through a misguided, isolationist impulse that would inevitably and understandably alienate a key partner like Canada.”

Does McBush seriously think this is an argument he can win?

9. The MSNBC pundits are yapping about this now....
Walsh said she's not sure why McCain is bringing this up. Buchanan just said "I have NO idea what McCain is doing! NAFTA is a four letter word is parts of this country".

:rofl:

Now I'm wondering what Lou Dobbs will say about McCain's NAFTA nonsense. :rofl:

15. McCain is flinging poo against the wall to see what sticks.
He's getting desperate. The electoral map and polls are against him. Obama didn't take the bait on his campaign finance or town hall traps. This is all he has left.
