Pres. Obama: Why are you pushing the Koch Supported Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)?

[cui bono]

75. True. They did actively try to steal 2012. Perhaps there's 2 levels of "they".

The real PTB, the banksters and corporations, and then the lower level "they", the GOP. The GOP is in it for ego as much as anything, but TRPTB know it doesn't matter and push for more with a Dem for the reasons I outlined earlier.

I just really believe it took a Dem to put SS on the table, we see that from what happened when GWB did it compared to the reaction when Obama did it. Night and day. All of a sudden it was okay to put SS on the table. Why? As I said, because there's little outcry when a Dem does it. Dems are still trusting of Obama, still supportive of him, mostly simply because is is a Dem - and a lot of it because he is not GWB - so they either aren't paying attention or are blindly supporting/defending him when he does things that GWB couldn't get away with.

End result is that SS is now negotiable where as it used to be the third rail. Obama made that happen. GWB failed to do so. Because of the reaction to them, not necessarily because one was better at it than the other. I think it's because a Dem did it.
