It's not obvious why economists should be training our sights on these
rhetorical games. Shouldn't we be talking about actual policies?
Aren't we? The rhetorical game was Obama's primary season hostility
to NAFTA - now that the nomination is in the bag, he's singing a
different tune. Looks like the Goolsbee story was right, though the
loyalists continue to deny it.

On Feb. 8, Goolsbee met with the Canadian consul general in
Chicago and
offered assurances that Obama's rhetoric was "more reflective of
political
maneuvering than policy," according to a Canadian memo
summarizing the
meeting that was obtained by Fortune. "In fact," the Canadian
memo said,
Goolsbee "mentioned that going forward the Obama camp was going
to be
careful to send the appropriate message without coming off as too
protectionist."
Hey Max, I thought you said this was a right-wing lie, or talking
point, or
something else unflattering.
