Obama: Elizabeth Warren Is Simply Wrong On TPP

61. One of the things I seem to recall him saying to Tweety was to

look at everything he's done in office, to show that he's focused on making things better for the middle class.

Problem is, when you look at the actual RESULTS, rather than his stated intent, you see more Americans in poverty than before, a smaller percentage of Americans in the workforce, and an 'economic recovery' in which 93% of the recovery went to the 1%er types, while the rest of us have shed accumulated wealth. The President may have all the good will in the world towards the rest of us, but the practical outcomes of his deals with republicans and blue dogs have left the rest of us falling even further behind, while the richest of the rich own ever more of the country.

That doesn't bode well for him making yet another deal, and a massive one, with Republicans, corporate lobbyists, and austerity types all on his side against the people who actually speak for labour.
