Meh, It's Been Confirmed... (none / 0)

...that she had reservations on NAFTA and made some challenges to it, mostly behind closed doors. That said, she was the First Lady, and it's a policy the administration was pursuing. I don't hold against her that she gave it some public support at the time. That doesn't mean she didn't have objections to it.

That sounds like she was against it but didn't do anything to stop it (and in fact, publicly supported it). Yet I'm supposed to give her the benefit of the doubt when so many people here absolutely savage Obama for basically doing the same thing with Wright.

The meeting in question was a behind-closed-doors affair in preparation for the NAFTA vote where it appears she delivered the closing remarks.  It's quite a stretch to assume she was delivering a challenge to NAFTA.

That Would Be Quite a Stretch (none / 0)

That's probably why I didn't say or imply anything like that. What I mean is that members of Bill's administration have come forward and said she expressed reservations about NAFTA at the time "behind closed doors." Not during this meeting mentioned in her schedule. As you say that would be pretty ridiculous.
