other than those who support him financially are for it, is because he knows

our actual future, and he knows that our jobs are gone, for good.

That unless we are willing to do drastic protectionism, and we are not, we will have to negotiate over the crumbs as to jobs.

I am against it, dont get me wrong, but I believe that Obama knows this.

We just dont know it yet.

This is why I am so on fire over Bernie, we have to do DRASTIC overhauls of everything.
