OBAMA'S INDEFENSIBLE TPP

YOU THINK YOU SUPPORT OBAMA AND DEMOCRATS? YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THEY ARE UNLESS YOU ACQUAINT YOURSELF WITH OBAMA'S DIRTY TPP DEAL WHICH IS SO UGLY THAT HE'S PUSHING IT IN SECRET.

Obama is turning his back on his own party but finding allies among Republicans. Yes, Republicans who slam everything Obama suggests on principle are behind him on this rotten TPP trade deal. The deal affects over a dozen nations which account for 40% of the world's GDP. But Obama wants the provisions of the deal, written by lobbyists and corporations who would benefit from it, kept secret. If you're an Obama supporter, I dare you to defend the TPP. Just try! And you aren't familiar with the TPP, the your ignorance is boosting someone who is actively seeking to screw working Americans in favor of huge corporations.

For all of you who have forwarded the "Blame The Black Guy" memes when people gripe about problems started by George W. Bush, here's a situation where the black guy deserves all the blame. None of Obama's crap about supporting the middle class makes a lick of sense when he's trying to destroy the middle class, our jobs and drive down wages with this dirty deal. All unions are against it. Environmental groups are against it. The agreement would ban Buy Local movements. Internet neutrality groups are against it. It will allow Big Pharma to drive up drug prices worldwide with monopolies. Here's what Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut had to say about it: "If the TPP would be as good for American jobs as they claim, there should be nothing to hide."

This goes right along with the notion that Democrats as well as Republicans are out to screw the average worker in favor of the mega-rich who bribe them. Democrat Bill Clinton passed NAFTA which destroyed American manufacturing jobs. Now another Democratic president is trying to shaft American workers.

Lori Wallach: "If you go to our website, TradeWatch.org, we’ve literally done a side-by-side of Obama’s policy goals as a president and everything fast-tracking the TPP would do to basically undermine everything that he has fought for, from lower medicine prices to re-regulating Wall Street, to more energy-efficient climate crisis-combating policies, to allegedly this middle-class economics agenda. The TPP and fast track are the antithesis.

But one other thing about fast track folks need to know, which is—and this gets to the weird politics—you’ve got the president basically doing the bidding of all the big corporations and commercial interests that spent millions of dollars to make sure he wasn’t elected the first time and to try and not elect him the second time. Against him are the entire labor movement united."

PS: Corporate whore Hillary Clinton also supports the TPP. Which is why  Democrats are dead as a party of the people. Watch this and tell me one good side of the TPP.
