7. Are you trying to create division on this board or squelch dialog by using "Attn Obama haters"?

Of course, any job growth in the United States is a good thing. And, of course, electing Obama is preferable to electing Rmoney.

But if you are referring to those of us who believe that the job growth would be even higher would be even higher if this country had not adopted job-transferring "free-trade" agreements, what is your purpose for doing so?

And if you are referring to those of us who believe that the ongoing job growth would not be endangered by the support for the pending another wage-lowering, union-busing, let's-transfer-more-American-jobs-to-foreign-countries "free-trade" agreement, likewise what is your purpose for doing so?

If you want more jobs to be created, why wouldn't you want those jobs to be created in the United States? Are you supporting the pending job-transferring "free-trade" agreement and assuming that it will not have a negative effect upon American jobs?

Here's the position of Rmoney, a member of the super-rich class who made millions or billions or whatever by offshoring American jobs:

Trans-Pacific negotiations have been taking place throughout the Obama presidency. The deal is strongly supported by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the top lobbying group for American corporations. Obama's Republican opponent in the 2012 presidential elections, Mitt Romney, has urged the U.S. to finalize the deal as soon as possible.
