to read the actual agreement before deciding what I think about it. There will be time. The details of it are not known. Experience has demonstrated that getting my Fruit of the Looms all twisted up before actually seeing what is in a draft document is a mistake.

So, when this is produced and I can look at it, I'll probably have something to say. But then, I'm not in the business of opining on things to make Obama look bad. Some folks have to earn their living that way, so they write about things before they really know what's in them.
