So what we got here is Obama wants to cut import taxes, let us spend our own money as we want, and he wants to help our allies that stand up to Marxist thugs.

ok....

Has the United States EVER had a net gain (in either jobs or exports) from ANY of these free trade deals? Color me skeptical.

I favor free trade - it has always been the one-way “not so free trade” that has bothered me. We trade - they tax our stuff, we don't tax their’s.

Curious.

First they embarrass Obama in front of the world by saying 'no deal', then they get backed into a corner with the mad dogs to the north and now sign on the dotted line.

Does Wikileaks have any new cables? Might be interesting...

Free trade is a bad idea. In the long run free trade will not work without a common government.

A better idea is a revenue tariff to make international trade a revenue-neutral event for the government.
The government collects income taxes on goods and services produced in the USA, so they should collect an equivalent amount in tariff on imported goods and services (maybe 22% ?).
And then let foreign countries do whatever they want. There would be no more need for trade negotiations or free-trade agreements.

The deal marks a victory for President Obama, who was widely criticized after failing to secure the pact during his Asia trip after last month's midterm elections.

Exactly how? I wonder if the agreement was due to Obama backing off all the carp he attached to the Bush deal. Seems like a Bush win / Obama Fail to me.

it might have been begun under Bush, but that was nowhere near the reality that we have today.

when obamanation approves/signs anything, Americans can be sure that it is NOT in their interest..

the man is a traitor to America

So how much does Soros have invested in SK?
