American and Proud

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.”

Mr Obama acknowledged this week that the rhetoric on free trade had become “overheated and amplified” during the primaries and appeared to back away from his threat to renegotiate Nafta unilaterally. “I’m not a big believer in doing things unilaterally,” he told Fortune magazine.

In his speech to business leaders in Ottawa, Mr McCain promised to lead an “outward-looking America”.

Did anyone catch the HYPOCRISY and outright pandering? or am I picking fly shit out of pepper?

1. McCain attacks Obama’s “COWBOY Diplomacy”??? WTF have we been accustom to for the last 8 years? Bush is the epitome of those words yet OBAMA being a little maverick is BAD? just a little Hypocrisy.

2. Obama says “He is not a big believer in doing things unilaterally” well dipstick being a leader sometimes calls for making tough decisions, and if you aren’t willing to go it alone and put your ass on the line for WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN, then you will never be a leader. GWB did it, although I think on a couple of key areas he shouldn’t have, at least he took the shot. He put it out there, and he will be judged in 10 to 20 years on what he did… It will take that long for us to remove the stains.

Note to John McCain, if you want to call out Obama’s lack of experience and liberal tendencies (FAR LEFT VIEWS) fine, call him a lemming or whatnot., but when I think of Obama I don’t really think Cowboy, I think Jimmy Carter with a tan.

OOps here I go again:
