9. A) The TPP hasn't been signed and B) We don't know what is CURRENTLY in it

It is hard for me to have an opinion on something that I haven't read.

What was in the draft in 2011 is bad. I agree. I don't know if that is what is in it now, and neither do you.

In addition... Nothing has been agreed to or signed.... So we're talking about something that might not even happen.

Just like the war in Syria, the cuts to Social Security, the defense of DOMA, and the other half dozen things that never occurred but got everybody spun up on DU.

You want me to be outraged about something the President hasn't even done yet. Something that we don't even have any idea what it currently says.

Sorry... Show me something concrete besides "this is what they were thinking of doing 2 years ago, so I'm sure it is just as bad now, and Obama's going to sign it!!11!!!elevens!!!"
