President Obama will attend the controversial Security and Prosperity
Partnership meeting with Mexican President Felipe Calderon and
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper next month, it has been
revealed.
The White House had not responded to requests
to verify Obama's schedule during the second week of August,
however, a statement from Press Secretary Robert Gibbs titled
"Upcoming Travel by the President," confirms that
Obama will attend the recently re-branded "North American
Leader's Summit" in Mexico.
"The president will travel to Guadalajara,
Mexico, August 9-10 to attend the North American Leaders Summit
with Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister
Stephen Harper," the announcement, reported by World
Net Daily, states.
"The summit meeting will provide an opportunity for the
United States, Mexico, and Canada to engage on a broad range
of issues, including economic recovery and competitiveness in
North America, our shared interest in energy and the environment,
and cooperation among our governments to promote the safety
and welfare of our citizens, including continued close cooperation
to counter the A/H1N1 influenza pandemic." the statement
continues.

The Security
and Prosperity Partnership has become much maligned
owing to it's quasi secretive advancement of a North
American integration agenda.
Last year, one month prior to the meeting in April, documents
were uncovered relating the fact that heads of
state of the U.S., Mexico and Canada were beseeching business
leaders to launch public relations campaigns in order to counter
critics of the SPP.
The documents detailed how corporate representatives were
urged to "humanize" North American integration, promote
NAFTA success stories to employees and unions and evolve the
harmonization agenda "without fueling protectionism".
The move was seemingly a response to the continued exposition
of the integration agenda, which led to representatives
within Congress petitioning the government on the
secretiveness of the SPP and multiple states introducing resolutions
calling on their federal representatives to halt work on the
so called "North American Union".
During his nomination campaign, Obama pledged
to end the secrecy surrounding the SPP meetings
and to conduct them with full transparency.
His decision to remain silent on whether or not he will even
attend the meeting until just a few weeks beforehand has guaranteed
advance criticism.
Critics will also cast a keen eye over Obama's attendance given
his strong worded campaign pledge to "amend" NAFTA
in favor of American workers by stemming the loss of manufacturing
jobs.
Since he has entered office Obama has simply reiterated the
SPP's call to advance without stoking "protectionism".
In a joint press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen
Harper, during his first official foreign visit, Obama responded
to a question regarding the renegotiation of NAFTA
by saying "Now is a time where we have to be very careful
about any signs of protectionism."
Eyebrows were also raised when Obama temporarily removed economist
Austan Goolsbee from his staff when it was revealed that Goolsbee
had told Canadian officials that Obama's campaign
promises to renegotiate NAFTA were purely campaign rhetoric.
