LIVE RADIO NOW: What game is Obama playing with the TPP? A bargain? A ruse?

This week’s show

What game is Obama playing with the TPP? A bargain? A ruse?

Once again we will be discussing the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). This is an important subject that is getting little media coverage.

Is there something we are missing here? Why would an otherwise intelligent President negotiate a treaty that demonstrably hurts the middle-class?

What do you think. Let's talk about it.

What are your thoughts? Let’s talk. I will also be following our hash-tag #PoliticsDoneRight on Twitter. Give me a call.

I seriously wonder is wrong with Mr. President! This is NOT the person I voted for, that is for sure!

I'm tired of his "game playing" and his "chess", etc. It is not at all amusing to me!

Either that or you take Obama at his word, as have the Iranians.

How many times has Obama said that what he does is NOT a game?

And what Party and what Media is it that insists politics is indeed all a game to be played by no rules at all?

But let's open up the floor to debate as to whether President Obama can be trusted, or is a liar, shall we?

That should be productive.

For some.

Obama thinks this eventually going to happen anyway so he might as well negotiate it as best he can because the next president won't care as much about American jobs. I'm hopefully that's what he's thinking but I have no idea.
