The latest on Obama is that he called Canucks to tell them not to worry about NAFTA because it was just campaign bs?

Despite repeated requests, Barack Obama’s campaign is still neither verifying nor denying a CTV report that a senior member of the team made contact with the Canadian government – via the Chicago consulate general – regarding comments Obama made about NAFTA.
Allegations of double talk on the North American Free Trade Agreement from both the Obama and Clinton campaigns dominated the U.S. political landscape on Thursday.
On Wednesday, CTV reported that a senior member of Obama’s campaign called the Canadian government within the last month – saying that when Senator Obama talks about opting out of the free trade deal, the Canadian government shouldn’t worry. The operative said it was just campaign rhetoric not to be taken seriously.
The Obama campaign told CTV late Thursday night that no message was passed to the Canadian government that suggests that Obama does not mean what he says about opting out of NAFTA if it is not renegotiated.
:gotme:
UH OHES!!!
GO MCCAIN!
“At no time has any member of a presidential campaign called the Canadian ambassador or any official at the embassy to discuss NAFTA,” it said in a statement.
But on Wednesday, one of the primary sources of the story, a high-ranking member of the Canadian embassy, gave CTV more details of the call. He even provided a timeline. He has since suggested it was perhaps a miscommunication.
The denial from the embassy was followed by a denial from Senator Obama.
“The Canadian government put out a statement saying that this was just not true, so I don’t know who the sources were,” said Obama.
Sources at the highest levels of the Canadian government – who first told CTV that a call was made from the Obama camp – have reconfirmed their position.
sounds fishy
