Hours before one of the most consequential votes of President Barack Obama’s second term — whether to give him fast-track trade powers to clinch a sprawling Pacific Rim trade deal — Democrats and Republicans have no idea whether the votes are there to pass it.
What they do know is that pockets of opposition from every corner of the House of Representatives has thrown the package into serious jeopardy.
Liberals fear they’re getting taken for a ride by a White House that doesn’t care about their interests. Conservatives don’t want to give a blank check to Obama, and vehemently oppose a must-pass job-training program. Labor unions have ginned up opposition on the left.
With that, the weeks-long trade fight is finally coming to a head, pitting labor unions and liberals against Obama, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.). Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who has been noticeably silent until the past few days, is the big unknown.
Even top lawmakers and aides say the fate of the trade deal is anyone’s guess.

“Obola will now act the part of the Minority Whip, and “remind” the Leftists fo exactly who’s the Dear leader around here...”
Yes, and it will work. He’ll gin up the support he needs.
Of course they will.
First, as many Crony Capitalist RINOs as possible have to be forced to join 0bama in selling out America. Then the precise number of extremely safe Democrats will come out to save 0bama’s Destroy America First policy.
This is a done deal, folks.
The only question is, how many Republicans will help craft the hangman’s platform for the citizenry?
I’m a Free Trader. But I do not trust 0bama. He will find a way to sell us out, and it won’t even involve Free Trade.
They’re just holding out for bigger bribes. What a kabuki theater.
Its not about free trade. That’s what the Republicans have been (easily) conned into believing. Its about immigration.
Absolutely. And Republicans haven't been conned, they're in on the action too. Plus Obama recently said it is how they're going to advance global warming programs. It's an end run for the whole liberal/crony agenda.
And Republicans haven’t been conned, they’re in on the action too.

You’re right about that. I stand corrected. :)
And, oh yeah, we should trust them.
“I called my congressman today. Did you?”
Yup. “Called my congress critter and both Senators. “I’ll let him know your concerns.” Every question got that same response. No elaboration.
The deciding vote that ends America as we knew her will be bought with a promise to pave ten miles of US-40.
THE FACTS ARE THESE Obama's priming the pump for donations to his two Foundations. All of it---TPA and TPP--Obama's immigration suck-ups---his non- action WRT ISIS, IRAN---are best understood against the backdrop of Obama's future plans as an ex-president----more specifically, his two Foundations (two that we know of).
The aforementioned entities control billions of dollars---and Obama is lying-in-wait for his share.
Just the other day--Obama proudly bragged that “today, once again, the US is the most respected country on earth.”
So it doesn’t matter Putin continues his invasion of Ukraine....
Or that China knows it can continue grabbing key sea areas, building vast artificial islands on which to plant its flag (and weapons). Or that Bashar al-Assad is back to using chemical weapons, because Obama won't enforce his own “red line.”
As for Iran: It’s already breaking the “interim” US nuclear deal by building enriched-uranium stockpiles far larger than it promised. Iraq? In the same town-hall, Obama talks of how “we were able to end two wars."
=========================================
Obama learned from the Clintons how to get a big payday for his two foundations: look on w/ approval even if countries invade and depopulate.....and never e-v-e-r utter a discouraging word e-v-e-r.
Maybe even shake hands w/ foreign tyrants to get mining permits and million dollar honorariums as Clinton did in Kazakhstan.
======================================
How well Obama learned at the knee of Hillary when she was Obama's Secy of State. At that time the "State Dept Mission Statement" mentioned that it would "create a more secure, democratic, and prosperous world for the benefit of the American people and the international community."
(Well, profitable for the Clinton Foundation, anyway.)
Now it looks like that "prosperous world" is gonna happen, thanks to Obama's two foundations (/snix).
more below
(1) "The Obama Foundation" announced the location of its library in Chicago.....revving up the next ex-president's money machine.
(2) The second Obama foundation----The Barack H. Obama Foundation (BHOF)---(named after their dad), was fast-tracked by Lois Lerner for IRS tax-exempt status....for Malik Obama, Barack's half brother.
The BHOF is based at a Virginia UPS store, according to its website. The organization’s IRS filings list another Virginia address that is actually a drug rehab center where the foundation does not appear ever to have been based.
As first reported by The Daily Caller, the foundation was speedily approved for IRS exemption by Lois Lerner, the self-same IRS senior official at the center of the targeting of conservative organizations that have waited over two years to receive tax exempt status. The IRS thoughtfully gave Obama Foundation retroactive fund-raising status.......which it stupidly never applied for.
The tax-exempt Barack H. Obama Foundation is run by Abon’go “Roy” Malik Obama, the half-brother of Barack Obama.
The foundation’s mission statement is “to provide people everywhere with resources to uplift their welfare and living standards in memory of dad---Barack H. Obama: in the region of his birth, Kenya, and beyond.” Its guiding principle is “the inherent belief that no one can truly enjoy the riches he has reaped if his neighbor suffers....."We seek to elevate the human condition so that everyone can live in dignity and truly enjoy having one another as neighbors.”
(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)
Despite raising more than $250,000, the alleged charity doesn’t seem to have done much. Its website claims the organization has built a madrassa and was building an imam’s house as well as some “proposed latrines,” but there is no other evidence that the nonprofit was working to “mitigate social-shortcomings in areas of education and literacy, health and well-being, poverty, and lack of community infrastructure in such basic needs such as water, electricity, shelter and sustenance,” as the site says.
Alton Ray Baysden, a former Dept of State employee, allegedly a registered Republican, who helped start the Barack H Obama foundation, declined to comment before seeing copies of a reporter’s passport and govt ID, along with a description of the article’s “motivation” and “slant.”
Repeated reporters' phone calls went to the organization’s voicemail and were not returned.
Malik spends most of his time in Kenya with his 12 wives while Obama finances his half brother, Malik, a major fundraiser for the Muslim Bortherhood.

==================================================
GOVERTNMENT FRAUD AT ITS FINEST--deposited in numbered accounts in offshore banks?
Obama's federal outlays (that we know of).:
<><> $2 billion funding to Malik's organization---the Muslim Brotherhood,
<><> $50 million to Malik/Barack's tax-exempt foundation in the form of a grant to Kenya.
<><> While the Muslim Brotherhood was in charge in Egypt, Obama (and Hillary) showered them w/ praise.....and billions of US dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes.
<><> Obama gave $90 million US tax dollars to wealthy oil-rich African countries.
Mr.Obama get us the trade deal,or we’ll release all your SSN’s.
Of course they will. Goose steppers.
REALITY CHECK It's next to impossible to believe Obama knows nothing about the Clintons' buck-raking activities.
Remember, Hillary dropped out of the primary so he could forge ahead. A deal was made...undisclosed to the electorate. Looks to me like they divided up the US govt. She got the State Dept.
Hillary ran it like a shadow govt. Bill trotted the globe acting like a "good will" ambassador.....he devised hundreds of obscure programs to collect billions.....supposedly dispersed to "aid" endless "do-good" projects.
Obama's protecting the Clintons---they're his meal ticket. All of them are living happily ever after--getting rich on "tolerance and compassion."
Better believe Obama gets a cut of every deal the Clintons make.
