In other campaign news, the Associated Press has obtained a memo confirming one of Senator Obama’s senior economic advisers met on February 8 with Canadian consulate officials to discuss Obama’s criticism of NAFTA. The memo said Obama’s public critque of the trade deal should be seen “as more about political positioning than a clear articulation of policy plans.” Obama’s economic adviser, Austan Goolsbee, says his comments about NAFTA were misconstrued by the Canadian officials.
