In reply to the discussion: HRC was critical of TPP before it was cool [View all]Enrique
(27,461 posts)it's true that the OP quotes a passage from a book where Hillary is supportive of the deal, and tells us that the passage shows she is critical of it.
A number of people see through it, including myself.
What about you, 1StrongBlackMan, is the OP true or is the OP false? Not based on politics, but based on the words and thinking about what they mean? In that passage, and in "Hard Choices" in general, is Hillary for or against TPP?
edit: Actually, in part of the excerpt, which is not bolded, Hillary does in fact criticize TPP, where she opposes the "provisions sought by business interests." Since we are talking about what she actually wrote, I have to acknowledge that, but I also have to say it is the kind of having it both ways statement that I put about zero stock in. There is a good chance that Obama himself is making that same kind of statement even as he is putting all his efforts into passing the deal. But like I said, that's my judgement.
