Kit Bond praises Obama

[proud2BlibKansan]

Rare complimentary words flowed from the lips of outgoing Missouri Sen. Kit Bond today in response to President Obama’s success at completing a trade deal with South Korea.

“This agreement, though long overdue, is an important step forward in the effort to repair our damaged economy,” said Bond, a Republican.

“As we learned today, our unemployment rate is moving in the wrong direction and I congratulate President Obama and President Lee for their efforts. Congress should act quickly to ratify this agreement which Obama Administration officials agree has the potential to create tens of thousands of new jobs.”

As the U.S. economy remains stagnant, Bond has repeatedly urged the President and his colleagues in Congress to open new and expanding markets to U.S. goods and services, warning that competing countries have more than 100 preferential trade deals in the works.

1. You can look at this one of two ways.

Either Bond feels like he doesn't need to follow the GOP refusal to issue a compliment to Obama or what he said is in line with the GOP which, in turn, bodes ill for the rest of us yet again. Personally, I'm having ongoing issues/nightmares with the trade deal stuff.
