Showing Original Post only (View all)Obama's playing 3D chess - TPP. We just gotta trust him. [View all]
Youse people bitching about Obama pushing TPP, just wait.
You recall when he was gonna renegotiate NAFTA? Well, he's going to complete the TPP negotiations and then tell Wall Street, "If you want me to sign TPP, you've got to give up NAFTA." That'l fix the bastards.
Just wait, you'll see. Obama is on our side.
He's been playing 3D chess all along.
And if you think this is a great plan, wait till Hillary gets to playing 4D chess with the banksters.
