13. Fox, Drudge or WND could not have done better in the ongoing anti-Obama TPP propaganda, or the lame name-calling.

I consider this bottom of the barrel scrapping as a good sign for the majority of Democrats who support Obama and the TPP as Obama does.

Obama has read it. Obama's trade and international law experts, advisors and trade specialists have read it and advised Obama. Obama tells me it is OK. I believe him. So, sue me.

The RW propaganda machine can take a break for a while while the left wing does it's work for them.

Disagreement is disagreement, it is not the sky is falling, Obama is a no good liar, name calling....how infantile.

For folks not having fingers in their ears and hands over their eyes the TPP is discussed in detail on the WH.gov site and the dedicated TPP government site ....you know, the ones produced by the Democratic Party President.

Yep, it is DU at it's most pathetic. It is nothing short of embarrassing. tridim Jun 2015 #15

"Embarrassing" takes a back seat to getting some Recs. based on name calling. Fred Sanders Jun 2015 #25

Because Obama bashing. tridim Jun 2015 #38

Challenging Obama on his support for the TPP is not bashing but being a good Democrat. rhett o rick Jun 2015 #68

Ummm, they are promoting this monstrosity as are all the republican establishment in washington. Dragonfli Jun 2015 #17

Of course we are pro-labor; kindly look at the pro-labor Obama E.O.'s lately, and the newly muscular NLRB. Fred Sanders Jun 2015 #21

Yes indeed a very large portion of people have now given up trying to find work, I guess that is Dragonfli Jun 2015 #95

Come on, look at the President's chief allies on this issue..... marmar Jun 2015 #26

JC. Supporting free trade is not the same as supporting the TPA/TPP. Quit making shit up. n/t Dawgs Jun 2015 #32

Please direct all "making shit up" arguments to The New Republic. Fred Sanders Jun 2015 #34

Why? You did it here. Dawgs Jun 2015 #42

Do you trust Obama's judgement? Because I sure as hell don't. Nor do I trust the judgement of Erose999 Jun 2015 #33

Yes, I do trust Obama's judgment...on this also because his judgment has been generally most excellent. Fred Sanders Jun 2015 #36

The fact that you even asked that question is so telling. tridim Jun 2015 #39

so the person you responded to G_j Jun 2015 #43

Why don't you go bash Democrats somewhere else? Jakes Progress Jun 2015 #88
