Just Admit it!

First Barack Obama's chief economic advisor Austin Goolsbee was 'caught' assuring the Canadians in a memo that his man's anti-NAFTA rhetoric was 'just politics'. Now Mark Penn, Clinton's chief strategist, has resigned after it was revealed that he met with Colombian officials to give them PR advice regarding the Colombian free trade deal that's currently stalled in Congress.

Clinton will surely assure the angry unions that Penn was just doing his job (Colombia hired his PR firm), like a lawyer who helps to acquit a man he knows is guilty.

Why don't Clinton and Obama just admit they're free traders? Why doesn't Obama write the free trade equivalent of his race speech aimed at that white men demographic he's struggling with? Going on with this doublespeak and making empty promises will only make things worse.
