Obama Ready To Defy Base In Order To Advance Trans-Pacific Partnership

President Barack Obama is ready to buck his liberal base in order to advance the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the pro-corporate international trade deal currently being negotiated in secret by the United States and 11 other Pacific Rim countries.

In a speech before the Business Roundtable, an association of conservative CEOs of major U.S. corporations, Obama indicated that he was ready to go head-to-head with Democrats, labor unions, and environmentalists—core groups that oppose the TPP and other so-called “free trade” pacts—in order to move the controversial deal forward.

9. hey, one more blue link proving that Obama can stand up for things!

my question is, what the hell will those people do January '17? Lady Macbeth can't really inspire that sort of cut-your-child's-throat loyalty, and they'd hate Jeb because they were told to do so

maybe they'll turn on The One whose robe they were wiping their tears with not a few weeks past
