A reporter asks Senator Obama about his Council on Foreign Relations membership and his position on the North American Union . He admits possible membership and that he has spoken there before proving its existence and importance but basically waves the issue aside with humor. He also makes fun of the idea of a political union for North America.
The Council on Foreign Relations is the most powerful special interest group in the United States and has been for the last 80 years. No one becomes president without their sanction and there members have and will comprise at least a third of all presidential cabinets regardless of which party is in office. Some call it the shadow government.
The North American Union was created by the two volume North American Free Trade Agreement which begins the union of Canada, Mexico and The United States first economically then politically as patterned after the European Union. Dismissing either by humor does not reduce their power and influence over us increasingly recognized by more everyday.
