Now that Hillary Clinton's White House schedules have finally been released, it has become clear that she lied big-time to the voters of Ohio. Clinton's views on NAFTA were a centerpiece of her recent campaign in Ohio, called Obama a liar for suggesting that she had ever supported NAFTA during her time in the White House. Senator Clinton delivered her angry "shame on you, Barack Obama" rant because Obama had reminded the voters that Clinton had supported the North American Free Trade Agreement and that the treaty had decimated industries the US.

ABC News reports that, as First Lady, on November 10, 1993 - 51 days before the treaty would take effect - Clinton had actively promoted NAFTA, a fact revealed in the release today of 11,000+ pages of White House schedules for that era:
Two attendees of that closed-door briefing, neither of whom are affiliated with any campaign, describe that event for ABC News. It was a room full of women involved in international trade. David Gergen served as a sort of master of ceremonies as various women members of the Cabinet talked up NAFTA, which had yet to pass Congress.
"It wasn’t a drop-by it was organized around her participation," said one attendee. "Her remarks were totally pro-NAFTA and what a good thing it would be for the economy. There was no equivocation for her support for NAFTA at the time. "

How does it feel to be lied to so explicitly Ohio? Please remind your neighbors in Pennsylvania and Indiana of her deceitful tactics, before they fall for the Clinton BS machine. There ought to be some accountability here.
