If Obama thinks it is hot now with the medical reform bill, then he should try pushing the North American Union.
Obama warned at summit: No North American Union

With President Obama expected tomorrow for the North American Leaders' Summit in Guadalajara, Mexico, a coalition of American legislators and activists took a message to the Mexican media, denouncing economic partnerships that would undermine national sovereignty and blasting Obama's failure to keep his promises on transparency and the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Howard Phillips, chairman of The Conservative Caucus and head of the Coalition to Block the North American Union, spoke to Mexican print, television and radio media about the summit, which was known in previous years as the North American Security and Prosperity Partnership, or SPP.
"They're talking more and more about economic integration, which is also what preceded the creation of the European Union, incrementally," Phllips told WND. "We made the point that one of the real issues is accountability. Already there are more than 20 SPP working groups and more and more decisions are being turned over to unelected bureaucrats, without any review by the legislatures of Mexico, Canada or the U.S."
Phillips also released statements from current U.S. Rep. Walter Jones Jr., R-N.C., and former congressmen Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., and Virgil H. Goode Jr, R-Va., warning Obama that this meeting
of the American, Mexican and Canadian heads of state is no time to renew talks of a North American Union.
"My eastern North Carolina constituents are troubled by our exploding trade deficit, our weakly defended borders and the erosion of our national sovereignty," Rep. Jones said in a statement prepared for the press conference. "As a result, many of them have expressed their concerns about our nation's leadership
role in the SPP."
"Many SPP working group meetings are held in secret, and the public, the press and members of Congress have no opportunity to participate or conduct oversight," Jones said. "The SPP also appears to cast aside America's sovereignty and takes another step towards combining the United States, Mexico and Canada into a single EU-style North American super state."
He concluded, "While the American people and Congress understand the importance of promoting good relations with our neighbors, these concerns will only intensify if pursuit of the SPP continues out of public view and without congressional oversight or approval."
Phillips told WND the press conference preceding the president's arrival in Guadalajara was well attended.
"We had an extraordinarily good turnout by the media, including a television station, which I'm told by our interpreter, is the most widely viewed television station in all of Latin America," Phillips said. "So we're very pleased with the turnout."
At the press conference, Phillips distributed releases from several prominent Americans:
"Throughout our nation, the American people have great appreciation and affection for our great neighbors, Mexico and Canada," said Former U.S. Treasurer Bay Buchanan in a statement, "however they are unified in their opposition to any form of a 'North American Union' or greater integration of the three nations."
Buchanan argued that under a North American Union, "All citizens of Mexico and Canada will by legal right be able to move to the United States, causing a massive wave of immigration which will further bankrupt our nation. Yet such a policy would also devastate our friends in Mexico, for they would suffer even greater loss of the manpower, finances and intellectual capital needed to make Mexico's strong and prosperous.
"The members and supporters of The American Cause hereby call on President Obama to renounce at the North American Leaders Summit in Guadalajara the failed and destructive Bush policy of moving the United States, Mexico and Canada towards any sort of union or integration. The sovereignty of the United States is to be preserved, protected and defended at all times; and never ever be thrown on the chopping block as a point of negotiation with foreign leaders."
