Because he's polically closer to Hillary? HA! Having met Hillary at least three times and known people who know her well, lets just say Obama is a lot closer than good ole Ralph's beliefs.
On trade and certain economic issues, Clinton actually is closer to Nader than Obama is, and Clinton's record on "ending corporate welfare" and "making government work for everyone, not just the rich or powerful" is one of the best in the Senate, and certainly better than Obama's record.
You can study their respective records here:

who said Barack Obama was closer to him on Meet the Press.
But whatever. This argument is stupid.
Vote for whoever you want.
When did he say that? I'm curious, because when I last saw him on MTP he was lambasting both Clinton and Obama and suggesting that Edwards was more in line with his positions.
Has he appeared on MTP since then and spoken more favorably about Obama?
In any case, I do agree with your last statement. It's just that I've always found Obama's trashing of Hillary over NAFTA to be completely disingenuous and one of the reasons I was turned off by his campaign.
