GOP leaders moved to ban President Obama from negotiating global warming policy and changes to U.S. immigration policy in any new trade deal, working feverishly Wednesday to secure final support as they prepare for a Friday showdown on granting the White House fast-track trade authority.
The leaders’ decision to schedule the vote suggests they believe they have wrangled enough supporters to get the bill through — a test of both House Speaker John A. Boehner, who will have to deliver most of his GOP troops, and of Mr. Obama, who will have to deliver the backing of a dozen Democrats.
Part of the last-second dealmaking involved writing the changes to further tie Mr. Obama’s hands on thorny issues such as immigration and climate, which Republicans hoped would convince wary GOP House members.
“It’s just making sure that if the administration wants to go down a path of seeking legislative changes in climate change or immigration, they can’t do it through a trade agreement. They’ve got to do it the old-fashioned way and come to Congress,” said House Committee on Ways and Means Chairman Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin Republican who’s led the free trade push in the House.
Mr. Obama is seeking fast-track powers, known as trade promotion authority (TPA), in order to complete negotiations on the massive Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a deal he’s been trying to write to cut trade barriers among a dozen Pacific Rim countries....

I smell a rat.
I call Barbara Streisand. “Barbara Streisand alert”
A pure RUSE............IT DOES NOT ADDRESS the TPP or the TISA segment...I FU__ing hate this double talk...what the ___K? Why are these ass____s undermining our republic? NWO as Bush senior mentioned....we need to ...well lets just say I now have given up on any of these F__KS stock pile anything and everything....time to clean house all branches are corrupt and lining their own pockets on our back....like the 82nd Airborne motto goes “kill em’ all and let GOD sort them out” never been more appropiate than now in my eyes!
No other choice we are surrounded by globalists at every corner...evry “chris kyle” needs to step up....I am beyond furious....TED CRUZ is pushing this SHITE ALSO!!!!!!!!!!! its over....
They don't really need to write this in the bill, the stupid party (like the stupak party) should just get a written EO promise not to write immigration/glowbull-climate agreements.
Both parties are completely sold out on this mess.
Don’t pass anything.
Complete reject.
Don Trump will fix it!! LOL
You have a link for Ted Cruz “pushing” this bill, rather than listening to his 28 million constituents?
NATA and the past trade treaties worked to throw American workers out of jobs permanently.
The trade bills were sold as boons to Americans, but it was a lie.
Forgive us mere chattel, formerly American citizens for expressing dismay and concern if not outright contempt for both trade treaties currently being forced on us, the Pacific, and the Transatlantic trade partnerships.
The Government and all its minions lied about NAFTA, continue to lie with the cooperation of its bought and paid for media and think because they control the dissemination of news, no one is watching. We are watching. You don’t hear us because there is an embargo against any other opinion except those in power making it into the news. And no, no one except those with an agenda cares about the Duggers or any of the garbage currently in vogue.
Trust in government and ALL its representatives is zero.
Pass this thing and disposess more workers and the elite won’t have to wait for George Bush to see another angel in the whirlwind.
Actually Trump is 100% right on this issue, as he is on a number of important issues.
“Exclusive — Donald Trump: ‘Disaster’ Trade Deal Empowers America’s Enemies, Another Sign ‘Country Is Going To Hell’”
Where is Ted Cruz on this issue? Seems to me he is part of the problem here.
I smell a rat.
**************************************************************
Make the damn thing PUBLIC.
This is a GOP (Give Obama Power) party ruse.
The GOP is a criminal organization like the DNC,
intent on selling the rights of Americans to
ENRICH themselves.
After all, THEY are EXEMPT — including the
TPP-supporting Cruz (who is just like the others).
Yes, we can trust Obama to obey the rules.
Yep
Give this quota boy president rediculous powers and the next president also will have these powers to unilaterally do what the hell he, she or it wants to.
And if Mr. Cruz were to win i guarantee ya he would push at least as hardright as this marxist piece of shit pushed left.
So you’re saying Ted Cruz is a fascist/Nazi wannabe dictator, or did I misunderstand you?
Oh no.
I am a true conservative who really would love to see Mr. Cruz win big.
I do believe that obammy is an America hating marxist, who is pushing as hard left as he thinks he can get away with, and since the supremes keep slapping his sorry ass down he obviously is over-reaching.
I just would relish the squeels of the libs were Mr. Cruz to win and push the pendulem as far right as this magic negro has pushed left.

Go ahead Republicans, pass the fast-track bill and the trade bill. Keep giving this totalitarian what he wants until you no longer have any constituents left:

Mr. Obama lies when the truth would work better. Who knows if he’s telling the truth in this instance or just trolling?
