Related: About this forumPresident Obama admits some Democrats are LYING about being against the TPP
Makes you wonder which primary candidates he is referring to? Definitely not Bernie since he has a LONG HISTORY of fighting for American workers.
What he said
"And with respect to Congress and the Trans-Pacific Partnership , I think after the primary season is over the politics settle down a little bit in Congress, and we'll be in a position to start moving forward."
"But I think we all know elections can sometimes make things a little more challenging and people take positions, in part, to protect themselves from attacks during the course of election season."
He says people are not being honest about their true position. They are only espousing that position because an election is going on.
So they are NOT telling the truth about their position.
The definition of LIE:
1. a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood.
Synonyms: prevarication, falsification.
Antonyms: truth.
2.something intended or serving to convey a false impression; imposture:
I stand by the use of the word lying.
NOTE: This is why people support Bernie. They know he isn't LYING to them to get elected. People are fed up with lying politicians.

(14,255 posts)she is lying. Big Time. She can't do it, IMO, and she would not do it, anyway.
I am pretty sure that her definition of hurting American workers is vastly different from what i would consider hurting them.
Hillary is all about the corporate profits, and enthusiastically shilled for the TPP, all over the world. Gold fucking standard. And just like she shilled, enthusiastically, for the Iraq invasion. That is who she is.

(934 posts)If he were talking about Clinton, why would he be saying that the administration will be in a better position to get something passed after the election is over? Hillary is not currently in Congress. She won't be voting on Obama's proposal.
I think it's also important to be careful about the all caps invective LYING. Be careful about putting words in a president's mouth. When you have to distort a statement to fit a narrative, the problem is with the narrative.

(12,685 posts)book that is called LYING.
As far as Clinton goes, I don't think anyone is fooled...
I update my post to provide the definition of a lie.

(7,830 posts)You can't believe fake Democrats when they're running for office....because they're fake. DINOs. They can't tell the truth because then they'd sound like they aren't actually Democrats....because they aren't.
