I don't care why Obama is strongly in favor of the job killing TPP, any more than I care why Hillary changed her mind about it.

The fact is: Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee for President of the United States, and she is staunchly against the TPP; so why would Obama go against her wishes, and the wishes of more than half the country, (including that asshole Trump & his followers) and once more attempt to pass the TPP in the lame duck session of Congress after the election?
