You need to tell me what’s wrong with this trade agreement, not one that was passed 25 years ago,” a frustrated President Barack Obama recently complained about criticisms of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). He’s right. The public criticisms of the TPP have been vague. That’s by design—anyone who has read the text of the agreement could be jailed for disclosing its contents. I’ve actually read the TPP text provided to the government’s own advisors, and I’ve given the president an earful about how this trade deal will damage this nation. But I can’t share my criticisms with you.
I can tell you that Elizabeth Warren is right about her criticism of the trade deal. We should be very concerned about what's hidden in this trade deal—and particularly how the Obama administration is keeping information secret even from those of us who are supposed to provide advice.

” Now it’s time to stuff the trunk full of cash before they no longer have access to the halls of corruption.”
McConnell already got his 30 million, so he pulled out all of the stops since last November, and went 100% Obama.
Obama is worthless but I wonder why he fighting so hard for this deal. My tin foil protector thinks he is doing some bidding for those who have suggested “personal troubles” for him if he doesn’t.
“Obama kept it secret with the direct help and collaboration of Mitch McConnell and the GOPe. “
E Z call.
Cruz supports TPP.
Thus my comment.
Exactly. Barry supports and is pushing HARD for this TPP nightmare. (Hillary is on record also as supporting it). Why in God’s name are folks on our own side going along with those 2 anti-America rat bastards? No true Conservative could possibly side with Hillary, Barry and their globalist masters and be in support of the TPP and The Fast track authority.....or any damn thing for that matter. Hillary and Barry are pure evil. To think our own guys go along with ‘em is really sad.
Yes, really sad, but entirely predictable. See tagline.
I'm sure you meant to say with the help of the ENTIRE GOP Senate, Cruz and Paul and Sessions included.
What no one has explained is WHY is this deal secret? What is the problem here?
Why is the media giving this a pass?
This seems bizarre.

More than supporting TPP (assuming he's read the approximate 840 pages), he supports TPA (Trade Promotion Authority) which circumvents the Constitution.
Normally, any proposed Treaty would require a 2/3 vote byu the Senate to ratify. It's a Constitutional Power and Responsibility given to the Senate under Article 2, Section 2, Clause 2.
However, the TPA law is the Senate ceding this power AND responsibility to the POTUS. Now the POTUS can negotiate any deal they wish, in secret (actually classified like National Security) and then present the final outcome to the Congress for a straight, 51 votes...up or down vote...no amendments, no changes, no filibuster.
This is PRECISELY what McConnell and the GOP engineered for Obama on the Iran Nuclear "Treaty".
This is what EVERY MEMBER OF THE SENATE GOP VOTED FOR.
And for anyone to say the trust "President Cruz" after he voted for something like this...shows they are an unthinking sycophant, not defender of the Constitution.
This TTP/TPA Obama trade deal is a trojan horse.It’s disguised as “free trade” What It really allows is for Obama to flood the USA with unlimited number of immigrants and to destroy the rest of U.S industry...

It’s Obamatrade but also Obama Amnesty to all the 3rd world.
This Fast track gives Obama power to make treaties that override U.S. laws. Soros wrote a book on how to do this. So these “conservative” Senators are voting to give Obama power to rewrite all U.S. laws because treaties override U.S. laws. It’s the destruction of the republic. Proof here :

Cruz is not president. However an enemy insurgent against America is president namely barak obama. and this Obama will use the fast track power given to him by the Senate to destroy the USA completely by making treaties that will override U.S. laws.

Good post. It’s all true what you say. spot on.
Those are the other reasons, in particular the latter, that I posted from a source I typically avoid.
The juxtaposition is just bizarre...
The Democrats in R jerseys are working harder for Obama on this than the real Democrats.
Yes. This guy is a lib but this is a really well done article on why the current trade deal smells. Please do read it in its entirety. The question is, the big question, who has put the fix in and with whom? What is the really important scam that is being hidden here?
Why? Money! It shows clearly they are all bought and paid for (maybe a few exceptions).
Are there any other Republicans opposing TPP other than Rand Paul?
Is anyone in media speaking about the secrecy in a negative way or otherwise not on board with Obama with this TPP? I don’t watch MSM so I don’t know what is going on there.
This is the worst bill or thing EVER. Just read some of the links I post here if you don’t believe it.

So... you jump through all the hoops, pass all the clearances, are only allowed to review our proposals and not the subsequent counter-proposals, and STILL if you breathe a word you get tossed in jail?!
This president needs to resign.
