Cato's Dan Ikenson takes the measure of Barack Obama. Here's Dan's opening paragraph:
As an advocate of free trade, I feel slightly vindicated by reports that the Obama campaign quietly assured the Canadian government that the Senator's strident words about NAFTA in last week's debate were merely political rhetoric. We've long been saying that opposition to trade is mostly an artifice of politics. But the story begs the question: Is Obama (a) economically illiterate; (b) dishonest, or; (c) naïve. The answer is (d), all of the above.
