The memo reported that Mr. Obama's chief economic adviser, University of Chicago
professor Austan Goolsbee, had told Canadian officials that Mr. Obama's vow to
unilaterally withdraw from the North American Free Trade Agreement was simply
campaign rhetoric aimed at Ohio primary voters. This week, Mr. Goolsbee said
that's not what he meant at all when he attended a February 8 meeting at
Chicago's Canadian consulate. Perhaps something got lost in translation

However, if the Chicago professor was in fact sending a signal that Mr. Obama
does not really intend to destroy America's largest trade relationship, we can
only say, "Kick save, and a beauty!"
