Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) may butt heads with Barack Obama on many things but Obamatrade, apparently, isnt one of them.
Speaking with Fox News this week, McConnell had a lot of trouble explaining why the White House has been so secretive with the contents of the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), the backbone for Obamas plans to negotiate the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). He was similarly dodgy when attempting to explain why he supports the presidents plan.
The trade agreement will be completely transparent, he told Fox. Well have a chance to vote whether to approve it or not.
Maybe, but therell be no agreement without the passage of the TPA first. And its misleading for McConnell to characterize the TPP as a known quantity because someday after its been approved, everyone will finally have a look at it. Obamacare is a known quantity today, but it was a mystery until congressional Democrats passed it.
Congress is being so secretive about Obamatrade that Congressional authorities are not only keeping the text of President Barack Obamas various trade deals secret, theyre also keeping the log that lists which members of Congress went to go read the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) private as well, Breitbart reported Wednesday.
What weve been voting on is a procedure that allows it to be dealt with once its completed. Well know whats in it. Well know everything about whats in it and well be able to decide whether to pass it or not, Pelosi McConnell told Fox.

Benedict McConnell is a sell out rat.
The fact that this piece of garbage is the Republican Senate Majority Leader along with John Boehner in the House tells us everything we need to know about the Republican party.
We have to admit the Republican party is close to complicity infiltrated. To get past this con game.

“transparent” Where have we heard that before?
And the last sentence sounds like, “We have to pass it to find out what’s in it!”

Two sides of the same coin, really...

Beware, the phantom Obama trade bill gives him authorization to have his way with immigration. As intended by the uni-party. They got tired of waiting for "comprehensive immigration reform."

GOP is the party of RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE,
making themselves EXEMPT and keeping it intact,
arming al Qaeda and protecting both the IRS and the
Benghazi Atrocity, and now intent on giving
the White Mosque more power. IDIOTS.

When you look at McConnell’s mouth you get the feeling that it’s been places you’d rather not know about.

How in the world do these guys keep a straight face while peddling this malarkey? They must really think they can see a golden payday at the end of their traitorous rainbow.
