President Obama on TPP

[jjewell]

32. Yes. My mind is made up. As is yours...

"I trust Obama" is insufficient cause or reason for me to support Trade Promotion Authority (TPA)
for the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). And, just like Obama, you've provided ZERO REASON
beyond "TRUST ME" for me to alter my opinion or change my mind.

The argument that Congress will try to add "abortion amendments and other extraneous amendments" to
the TPP is a weak ass argument to the point of anorexia, particularly when all of the GOP leadership actually
SUPPORTS Obama in this bullshit Fast Tracked "Trade Bill".

BTW, if the negotiations have been ongoing for TEN Years, please explain the necessity for FAST TRACK now.
If all affected parties have been onboard for the entire length of the negotiations, assurance of bipartisan
Senate approval should have already been a done deal, WITHOUT the need for Fast Track Authority (TPA).

Too Many on the "WRONG" side of my basic political beliefs and opinions (Progressive) are on Obama's side
of this issue. (The GOP)

And "Too Few" of the political allies I Trust (Again Progressive), who have ACTUALLY READ what's
being proposed in the TPP, actually "AGREE" with Obama and his GOP supporters, for ME to EVER
give MY consent to allowing Trade Promotion Authority (TPA/Fast Track) for the TPP.

Fight out the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) in Congress under regular rules and order, with full debate and disclosure of what's involved, and its ramifications for the American people, or let it go.

Like that idiot Reagan once said: "Trust, With Verification..."

"You can lead a blind fool to eat or drink anything."

Those who fail to learn from the past, are condemned to repeat it...
