"Obama: Give me fast track trade"

...if Congress is going to cave to the President?

are enough progressives to counter the corporation sponsored conservatives.

Remember, elect H. Clinton-Sachs and get eight more years of conservative rule.

but I've got ODS.

As to the OP- not only no, but HELL no.

From The Nation, dated March 3, 2011:

The White House mostly has sought to stay out of the fray in Madison, Wis., and other state capitals where Republican governors are battling public employee unions and Democratic lawmakers over collective bargaining rights. When West Wing officials discovered that the Democratic National Committee had mobilized Mr. Obama’s national network to support the protests, they angrily reined in the staff at the party headquarters.

Administration officials said they saw such events beyond Washington as distractions from the optimistic “win the future” message Mr. Obama introduced with his State of the Union Address.

There is the one that will put on a pair of comfy shoes and walk the picket line, smoke a joint, (or fire up the vaporizer) and then end NAFTA, and then there is the other Obama.

One is always around for speeches and photo shoots, and the other is in the WH basement, helping the military figure out which drone strikes are our best bet. Gotta spread that democracy, don't cha know!

Now Democrats will have to fight their own president who has finally decided he wants to use it.

Signing this agreement will definitely make the democrats stay home and not vote

the average Democrat will pay much attention. They should, but most people aren't that into it like DUers.

any kind of fast track should be approved.

its a disaster to the last of the middle class and an absolute soul crusher to the working poor and those in poverty. It will cede legal authority to the multi national corporations. They will be able to sue whole countries for loss of "future expected profits". Its filled with all kinds of fascist fucking shit. Truly are screw job this TPP is and fucking shameful that Obama wants to fast track this garbage.

K and R

The NWO continues apace. Maybe Bar will end up loving Barack, too.

Because I for one definitely have not.

I will still wait on this for more less frothing info.

and remind you that NAFTA had veto proof support. See, so Clinton had to sign it, or something. To hell with principles.

Yes I would like a citation of someone saying what you just said people clearly would say. I have seen that sited on only two issues (DADT and DOMA) where it was undeniably true. I have never, as in not one single, solitary time, seen anyone at anytime make such an argument in regards to NAFTA.

Unfortunately, this does not seem to be it.

including fast-track. He is setting this up so that if the GOPer gets in, he or she won't have that authority either. If they fool around and give that authority to the President...just watch what he does with it.

I'm so tired of this line of argument. "He didn't REALLY want (insert horrible idea here). He's just lying and saying he does. Brilliant!"

then Obama will yank us back safely away. How thoughtful that is of him

I hope he pushes this so hard the t-baggers jump all over it and strangle it.

Just don't kid yourself, if a R gets to be president in 2016 the repubs in CONgress will be more than happy to flip their votes.

It's really very simple. He pushes for the things he wants, he does not push for the things he does not want. Sometimes Congress is an obstacle, sometimes it is not.

Maybe Obama is a Cylon.

Cylon!

Because it's harmful.

The sucking of more jobs out of the US.

and the Senate should veto this ill-proposed nonsense.

It's bad for the people and terrible for the planet. I can not agree with Fast Track for TPP.

Again.

Just no.

We need to make these trade agreements more fair and the key to that is having more voices involved not fewer.

Then, we need to talk about tariffs.
