President Barack Obama is taking the fight for the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal to America’s streets — directly countering the fusillades from Donald Trump and, increasingly, from Hillary Clinton.

The White House is making an all-out push to win passage of the deal in the lame-duck session of Congress, organizing 30 events over the congressional recess to gin up support for the agreement, considered key to Obama’s strategy to counter China in the Asia-Pacific region. The strategy is to offer support and cover to the small flock of Democrats who supported legislation to fast-track the deal and to remind wavering Republicans that they oppose it at their own peril because of its strong business support.

Deja Vu (globalist) George W. Bush twisting Republican arms to shove NAFTA up our ar$e.

How did that work out George.

While we're on that subject, Barack Obama could not have been possible without George W. Bush.

Yep.  And Hillary will just be a continuation of what we've had to put up with since January 20, 1989.

==================================

These bought-and-paid-for traitors have been raping this country for over a generation.

Yep. RATS wearing REPUBLICAN CLOTHES!  Just like the ones we see around here.

The 'NEW' GOP is the same as the 'OLD' GOP ..
The 103rd and 104th Congress was led by "Republicans." With G.W. Bush at the other end of the whipping post, more damage was done to our national sovereignty through NAFTA and CAFTA than in the history of the "Republican" party.

CAFTA vote story

"Twist some Republican arms until they break in a thousand pieces." That statement by Representative Jim Kolbe (R-Arizona) describes the Republican leadership's rabid determination to get the U.S. House to pass the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) -- no matter what."

The New GOP Betrays America

 Because President Bush and the House leadership knew the vote would be razor close, the day of the vote began with the president making a rare appearance on Capitol Hill to speak before a closed-door, members-only meeting of House Republicans that morning. He even brought Vice President Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice with him.

And the arm-twisting began.

"The last-minute negotiations for Republican votes resembled the wheeling and dealing on a car lot. Republicans who were opposed or undecided were courted during hurried meetings in Capitol hallways, on the House floor and at the White House. GOP leaders told their rank and file that if they wanted anything, now was the time to ask, lawmakers said, and members took advantage of the opportunity by requesting such things as fundraising appearances by Cheney and the restoration of money the White House has tried to cut from agriculture programs. Lawmakers also said many of the favors bestowed in exchange for votes will be tucked away into the huge energy and highway bills that Congress is scheduled to pass this week before leaving for the August recess." -- The Washington Post, July 28, 2005
