There's a reason that candidates (like then Senator Obama) campaign against free trade in the primaries and then proceed to enact free trade policies during their administrations (like now President Obama.) The benefits are undeniable and most of the opposition are knee-jerk protectionists that don't understand that we live in a globalized economy and that protectionism would hurt poor people in other countries far more than it would help create jobs here.
You said it best and even admitted Obama is a liar! I'm starting to like you and am in full agreement with your position supporting free trade.
