Obama has not denied it, think about the laws we the people could be sued over.
Let's say we get a $15.00 an hr minimum wage eg.
The Fast Tracking of TPP passes. Congress, unable to remove any bad stuff, or add any good stuff, votes 'yes'.
6,000 Global Corporations are now capable of suing the US in a Corporate Tribunal (anyone have a clue how that works?) run by Corporate Lawyers, where no doubt, the interests of the American people will be a priority!! 
, because you never know, some people might actually believe that!
So they come here and establish some businesses. From poorer countries where they are accustomed to paying Workers .60c per hr.
Now they have to either bring their own workers (is THAT covered in the TPP?) who cannot live on such wages in this country, so how WOULD they live here, slave labor, camps like they have in Dubai eg?
Or, they may have been told they can take advantage of our Private Prison System where almost FREE labor is available to Corporations (keep those prisons full!)
Or, they can sue the American people and we the workers, will have to pay them because of our Minimum Wage.
I wonder if the President would address some of these questions?
Because we can only go by what we know. I am going by what we know, and am imagining a nightmare filled with lawsuits, costing the American untold amounts of tax dollars in order to try to protect our hard fought for laws.
And in the end, overwhelmed by the cost, weakening those laws. I can hear it now from Congressional Members : 'Look, we have to be pragmatic. We can't keep paying out this amount of money in settlements, We have to do SOMETHIG. Since we belong to the Reality Based Community, the truth is that the minimum wage we have now hasto go! Sorry morons, but thanks for the support in getting this passed, we love you!'
If we are wrong, then Mr President show us where we are wrong or else, YOU are the one who is wrong.
