I agree the Union isn't as rosy as politicians mostly outside of the UK and some in the UK make out but it is more unified that you make out LD.
Have you not seen the recent German and French politician pop song?

Seriously we are more integrated than you make out, way more than any other continent on the planet but the EU is far from the type of integration a country shares, contrary to popular non-European opinion.
We have considerable trade agreements between our countries, considerable legislation and laws between EU members.
There is also some talk of combining the countries of South East Asia but like this it will never happen. They do have ASEAN though which goes some way towards it. The EU is a unique entity.
The trouble with a North America Union just like EU expansion is despite technically people moved would be allowed both ways in reality it would only go one way. How many Americans would want to live in Mexico? Not many!
Seriously though I doubt that is actually what Bush wants. It's much more likely he wants more open connections between the countries than outright freedom.
The American people would never stand for that and besides it's now November 2007, Bush has little over a year left in office.
