What really pisses me off about this TPP issue is for the first time in history a Democrat (at least that is his label) ..A Democratic President bashed unions Criticized them for taking a stand against this measure. Unions threatened to support any challengers in upcoming primaries against those Democrats that voted for this TPP authorization.

* Note: It was union support that got him elected as President

Obama is obliviously very happy with this Republican Majority. So much so that he might just campaign for them in 2016 to keep it that way.
