Because he thinks he's losing.

All I was attempting to express, was for one the argument of the President defending a bad agreement that will enrich the tip top % while the rest loose. Yes I was never in favor of ANY agreement on trade put forth in which the USA is not protected with a strong tariff or of our Intellectual rights. Along with the local jobs.

You seemed to be implying that you agreed with her on this.

Anyway, if it's between Obama and Warren, I trust her more.

Doesn't mean I'm going to turn into an Obama hating bagger though.

Stocks tank, economy stalls, unemployment goes up, government bails out companies, Republicans give out tax breaks to tickle the economy and the government runs out of money.

I for one fervently support Wall Street.

By handing over the negotiating authority to Obama and he is biting. Pass or fail, Obama gets the blame. For this reason alone Obama should duck this bill which only gives him the negotiating authority without the involvement of Congress on TPP.

I'm as lefty as they come but well regulated capitalism is the engine that makes the world go round. Pure Marxism is a pipedream.
