The source was Austan Goolsbee. He was named. Who in the embassy denied it, and why has the Obama campaign gone silent?
Look, I honestly think Obama is NOT going to upend NAFTA. Anyone with any sense who knows how these things work understands it is good for the country. Obama pandered - just like any other politician panders - because voters don't want NAFTA explained, they want their pain assuaged. Goolsbee is a highly respected economist and he knows damn well that Obama isn't going to upend NAFTA - it's Goolsbee's area of expertise. When Goolsbee comes forward and says he didn't have the conversation that he is said to have had, I'll believe the denials from the politicians (and yes, the Canadian embassy is politicians).
