After Attacking Warren, Obama Having Trouble Selling TPP to Fellow Dems

23. He is worried about finding a job when he leaves office.

He wants to educate his two daughters. That's my guess. Those speaking engagements that Hillary gets at 200,000 dollars a throw? They are not available if you don't play the Wall Street game. Hillary gets them because she knows how to suck up to Wall Street. Obama won't get them if he Wall Street doesn't like him.

He gets the president's pension but that is rarely enough to satisfy the lifestyle that a president becomes accustomed to.

And then there is the Wall Street and corporate funding for Hillary in the next election. Obama doesn't want to stop that flow.

TPP does not serve the interests of ordinary Americans. It is a sweetheart deal for the corporations, a corporate coup if you will -- courts just for corporations in which they can sue us as a people, that is our government -- special trademark and patent laws that supersede the laws our Congress wrote to give companies like Disney and Fox huge earnings from very old masterworks like Mickey Mouse for a long time to come.

Just a couple of the perks for corporations in this TPP deal.

We lost out on NAFTA and our other agreements. Our negative balance of payments proves it. We will have to repay every cent of that balance of payments and it will be repaid in terms of low wages and a declining standard of living.

Enough is Enough. No TPP. It's a corporate coup.
