Obama's opposition to NAFTA is considered to be just a gimic to get more democrats votes in Ohio and Pensilvania in the primary. I suspect that his public promise to withdraw their troops from IRAQ could be another gimic for presidential election, since it's too dangerous for the U.S. to just give away the jop to very unstable Iraqi government alone. He can change his policy or slow the pace of withdrawal refering ths situation on the ground at any time.

About FTA, I think he could introduce more freindly measures for domestic industires, but it will not be so drastic.

Obama is against FTA with any nations because he believes it deprives jobs from Americans.

I dont really know about the American policitcs but for me, I'd rather choose Barack Obama. I've read his book, The Audacity of Hope. And I do like the policy of repealing the law of abortion.

Whatever, this is my first comment. You may say that I am an apprentice, please do not take it pesonally.

I forgot to say I could be wrong in the first statement that I had made. Please take note.

Historically a republican president is better for the developing countries than a democratic one.

This time around, I don't know.

Anyway I think Obama has a great team to persuade America to change. As to whether he will have equally a great team in implementation is hard to know. As you know, many people are good in talk but lack in action And when they do act, they are often wrong.

It's a dangerous bet on Obama. Look at the world. Look at this blogsite - pretty weird, I would say!
