Obama is an inspiration for the entire world, but that doesn't mean we have to agree with everything he does, especially the blatant promotion of protectionism.

That's fine. I don't agree with him here either.
But I find it surprising how selective peoples memories are. 2 WTO rulings that weren't complied on softwood and a whole beef ban during the Bush years.
It's not a democrat/republican thing. It's a US thing. It's a world power vs. tiny country thing. They done it to us in pretty much every administration.
To turn this into a another repub vs demo issue is silly at best and just shows peoples biases. It is a Canada US relations issue? Yes. Is it a world trade and world trade regulations issue? Yes.
Democratic vs. Republican issue? Hardly.
