Some more comments by the President yesterday, good and bad:

OBAMA: We all agree on the need to create more jobs that pay well. Traditionally, both parties have been for creating jobs rebuilding our infrastructure -- our roads, bridges, ports, waterways.

I think we can hone in on a way to pay for it through tax reform that closes loopholes and makes it more attractive for companies to create jobs here in the United States.

GOOD! Infrastructure jobs are good (assuming we don't buy our bridges from China like we did with the SF Bay bridge).

We can also work together to grow our -- grow our exports and open new markets for our manufacturers to sell more American-made goods to the rest of the world. That’s something I’ll be focused on when I travel to Asia next week.

VERY VERY BAD! This means the TPP, and other costly trade agreements One agreement in the TPP would require that when the govt buys cars or pencils, they no longer have to buy from American companies. Another allows corporate courts to rule on the legitimacy of our laws! Bottom line - fewer jobs and lower wages.

We all share the same aspirations for our young people. And I was encouraged that this year Republicans agreed to investments that expanded early childhood education. I think we’ve got a chance to do more on that front.

GOOD! Assuming this does not mean more money to privateers.

We’ve got some common ideas to help more young people afford college and graduate without crippling debt, so that they have the freedom to fill the good jobs of tomorrow and buy their first homes and start a family.

GOOD! I think.... what are these 'common ideas'?

And in the five states where a minimum wage increase was on the ballot last night, voters went five for five to increase it. That will give about 325,000 Americans a raise in states where Republican candidates prevailed. So that should give us new reason to get it done for everybody with a national increase in the minimum wage.

GOOD!

Keystone, I just consider as one small aspect of a broader trend that’s really positive for the American people.

BAD! Perhaps EVIL! (I posted this yesterday as an OP)
