(See video)&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbR_JxTHTz4&amp;amp;NR" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbR_JxTHTz4&amp;amp;NR"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watc...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;However, Hillary DID plagiarize John Edwards and Bill Clinton in her heralded closing debate statement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hillary's FALSE accusation 2:&lt;br&gt;_Canadian/NAFTA Stand  --Hillary accused Obama of saying one thing to voters, but another to Canada.  Barack Obama did not sanction any meeting with Canada. (See video)&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAJYMgX4JuU" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAJYMgX4JuU"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watc...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/04/us/politics/04nafta.html?em&amp;amp;ex=1204779600&amp;amp;en=bc1674b80a8eb1e3&amp;amp;ei=5087%0A" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/04/us/politics/04nafta.html?em&amp;amp;ex=1204779600&amp;amp;en=bc1674b80a8eb1e3&amp;amp;ei=5087%0A"&gt;http://www.nytimes.com/2008...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Though he works on Obama’s campaign, Pro. Austan D. Goolsbee of the University of Chicago was invited by Canadian officials to participate in a general meeting and later into the meeting they brought up the subject of NAFTA.   Professor Goolsbee was invited as a guest professor of economics not “intending” to represent the Obama campaign.  Evenso, Pro. Goolsbee did not state anything different from Obama’s stance on NAFTA from the debate. Obviously, renegotiations on NAFTA have not taken place, and therefore, there is no clarity concerning policy changes within the agreement.  Until actual negotiations take place between the US and Canada, anything candidates say about NAFTA is merely their STAND (political positioning) on renegotiating the Free Trade Agreement.  Hillary knows this, but successfully ran away with her false accusation anyway.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hillary’s FALSE accusation 3:&lt;br&gt;_NAFTA and Healthcare mailers –“Shame on You” –Hillary blasted Obama about mailers and claimed that her stand on those issues were not true.  However, her stand on those issues are true.  She did support NAFTA, and Clinton has said that she would consider garnishing wages for those who don't buy health insurance under her plan, but she said that is part of her current plan.&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,332089,00.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,332089,00.html"&gt;http://www.foxnews.com/stor...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;In the following final debate, Hillary was proved to not be telling the truth.  Furthermore, Hillary cried “shame on you” about mailers when her campaign had in fact sent mailers and TV ads out against Obama in New Hampshire, etc.  Hillary was being hypocritical. She can do mailers and TV ads, but Obama can’t? plz.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">MahoganyShotgun</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 06 Mar 2008 03:42:48 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
