Dem spokesman caught unaware when told Obama is talking out of both sides of his mouth on free trade agreements

Three Bush-era free trade agreements--with Colombia, South Korea, and Panama--are sitting on President Obama's desk and have been since he was sworn into office. Obama is calling for Congress to pass them--but clearly he is talking out of both sides of his mouth.

Because he doesn't want to offend his Big Labor buddies.

Democratic Party spokesman White House Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton is caught stammering when Fox News' Bret Baier confronts Burton with the facts on the FTAs.
