This might be a shocker to many, but Barack Obama has admitted that he’s a politician after all. After calling NAFTA “a big mistake” and “devastating” just 2 months ago, the presumptive Democratic nominee now thinks that the trade agreement is not that bad.

He justifies this U‑turn saying that “Politicians are always guilty of [overheated and amplified rhetoric], and I don’t exempt myself.” This is coming from someone who, on the campaign trail, has attacked those who would say anything to get elected.
