AdWatch: ‘A Vague Memory’ Of Lost Jobs
November 16, 2007, 9:13pm
At last night’s Democratic presidential debate, CNN moderator Wolf Blitzer asked Hillary Clinton whether Ross Perot was right in the 1992 presidential race when he warned that the North American Free Trade Agreement would kill U.S. jobs.
Her quips in response that she has only “a vague memory” of a bunch of charts about the NAFTA debate in the campaign that sent her husband, former President Bill Clinton, to the White House is now online video fodder for Democratic rival John Edwards.
Talking Points Memo posted a fuller clip of Clinton’s answer, including her acknowledgement that “NAFTA was a mistake to the extent that it did not deliver on what we had hoped it would, and that’s why I call for a trade timeout.”
