Why do people call it ‘Obamatrade’ when the Republican leadership is pushing so hard for it? More Republicans are for it than Democrats!
It’s idiotic to call it that, all it does is INCREASE the chances of marginal libs pr progressives supporting it when they are opposed to it right now.
ONLY the center of BOTH parties is for it, as many far lefties hate it as people on the right, but if people keep calling it ‘Obamatrade’ then it makes it MORE likely for them to reason that if the Republicans are against it then they should be for it.
Whatever person started calling it “Obamatrade” should be ashamed of themselves, and has made it MORE likely to pass. might as well call it “Bohnertrade”.
You have a great point.
I first heard it called Obamatrade on Drudge Report and have used it since. You are right though, should be called Obamjoemitch trade. (or something like) : )
