McCain is in Colombia today, and Obama is using the occasion to take swipes at McCain’s support for the U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement, which Obama opposes:
This morning, the Obama campaign argued that McCain’s trip highlights his support for Bush’s economic polices. In an email to reporters, spokesman Tommy Vietor wrote, “Senator McCain’s trip to Mexico and Colombia just underscores his insistence on continuing George Bush’s failed economic policies that have left nearly 2.5 million more workers unemployed—including unfair trade deals that have been written by lobbyists.”
Just a little run-of-the-mill campaign hypocrisy here: Obama supported the farm bill, which was written by agribusiness lobbyists, and he supports the housing bill, which was written by Bank of America lobbyists.
