Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is sharing Breitbart News’ story on Facebook, following the close Rules vote ahead of Friday’s final vote on the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) that would grant President Obama fast-track authority to finish his trade negotiations.
She also posted her reaction to the non-transparency this administration has shown in handling the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, which is keeping part of the draft in a secret room on Capitol Hill.
“The secretive, hugely impacting Obamatrade deal is another behind-closed-doors fast-tracked D.C. deal that screams “don’t pass it ’til we know what’s in it!” Yet politicians are going along to get along, supporting Obama’s pet project while ignoring the public’s right to know what’s in this monumental international trade deal. This, despite the President’s track record proving he hasn’t got it in him to put American workers first,” Palin posted.
“If Congress hands this secretive deal to Obama on a silver platter, admitting to not even reading it first, then shame on us for letting another one slide. This is fast-tracked, friends. Like Obamacare, when we sounded warning bells but too many were too busy to pressure their employees (your elected politicians) to do the right thing and learn it first. Since when is Congress able to halt any bullying administration’s fast-track deals? They never have before. Didn’t we learn last time?”
The vote on TPA is expected Friday afternoon.

Good for Sarah!
Bad idea to call it “Obamatrade” when a large percentage of liberals and progressives are against it every bit as vehemently as anyone on this board. Even Obama fanboys HATE this thing.
It would be good policy for the GOP to oppose Obama on everything he wants and does.
It is good enough for American-backstabber Cruz.
What a fool Americans have been for supporting
Cruz who first says he did not read TPA, then lies
and says he did, although “not every footnote”.
Cruz is toast after today because
Trust once lost cannot be regained on this.
I knew she wouldn't let us down.
IT’S A TRAP ,the Dems will vote yes in just enough numbers to pass it so the GOP get ALL THE BLAME for this Turkey
I was hoping Sarah would weigh in on this.
Ted Cruz: Jeff Sessions is WRONG about ObamaTrade deal – [FULL AUDIO]
6-12-2015
Ted Cruz was on with Jeff Kuhner this morning and answered some tough questions about why he supports the TPA/TPP agreements. One of the questions was specifically about what Jeff Sessions has been saying about the trade deal and Cruz blatantly said that what Sessions has been saying is not accurate. In short, he said that the US is not ceding any sovereignty to any transnational commission, that it has no power to bind the US with any law or agreement.
The interview is 24 minutes long and I urge you to listen to the whole thing. But if you want to skip ahead to the Q&A about Jeff Sessions take on this, it begins around 16:10.

Calm the TPP Panic: Congress Has Five Months to Vote Down Obamatrade-Andrew C. McCarthy

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/419670/obamatrade-can%27t-become-law-secretly
All it takes is one little amendment to put the Senate filibuster back in.
If only one GOP Congressman would try to do that ...
Go get ‘em Sarah!!!!
It is too bad good conservatives, like Cruz, played games and voted for it anyway.....after he warned of the dangerous immigration powers granted to Obama and his “fix” was voted down.
This cannot and will not be fixed in 2017 by the next administration or by the courts.
Either the House votes this down or we have shot ourselves in the foot again.
If bad things happen, Cruz should not be easily forgiven.
“Bad idea to call it “Obamatrade””
Why? It would be like refusing to call Isis Muslim. Obama is pushing the trade bill as much as the health care bill that rightfully bears his name.
This whole thing has become an Absolute Cluster, A True Mess.
Bad idea to call it “Obamatrade” when a large percentage of liberals and progressives are against it every bit as vehemently as anyone on this board. Even Obama fanboys HATE this thing.
*****************************************
Obama actually climbed down off his throne and went to a meeting on Capital Hill and made a surprise appearance at Thursday night’s annual congressional baseball game to cheerlead/twist arms for this thing .... TPP is secretive, probably not in the best interests of America on a lot of fronts & I firmly believe Obama will use any powers he can gain from this thing to further destroy America and/or subject us to something like the EU .... “Obamatrade” works for me. (He needs TPA for TPP so kill it fast and early by killing TPA)
Sarah has more sense than 99% of the politicians presently in office.
Thanks for the ping. Sarah is our Esther...brave and smart.
Sarah is in the company of the following, against this legislation:
Sen Jeff Sessions
Mark Levin
Breitbart
Drudge
I called Corrine Browns office to ask that she vote against TPA and TPP. We will see.
“US is not ceding any sovereignty to any transnational commission, that it has no power to bind the US with any law or agreement.”
GATT demonstrably does just that - bind the US to rulings of a transnational commission. Obviously, with all the secrecy, TPP is much more severe.
Sarah is smarter than most of them out there because she is our Esther.
In the light of this we should all pray for HaShem's Favor.
It's the Only Way.
