TPP IS A BAD DEAL FOR AMERICA
The Examiner - Serving Eastern Jackson County, Missouri ^ | June 21, 2015 12:01 a.m. | George W. Hoeltje

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a really bad trade deal for America – perhaps the worst yet. In fact, it is so bad, the treaty is being negotiated in secret. Clearly, Americans would be outraged if its contents were fully disclosed because TPP implementation essentially destroys what’s left of the middle class. Further, the TPP would have severe negative impact on many of the earth’s poorest people.

Whenever a politician says: “We must first pass the bill to find out what is in it”, a big “red flag” ought to go up. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said this while “ObamaDoesn’tCare” was meandering its way through the halls of Congress. Now, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is parroting the same absurd line, this time for the upcoming TTP train wreck. Unfortunately, these two idiots and their corrupt colleagues don’t have to live under the reckless legislation they introduce. Congress always seems to create loopholes to evade consequences for the elite. Subsequently, the vast majority of Americans take the hit after the legislation becomes law. This behavior is typical of our feckless Washington politicians.

Perhaps the most controversial aspect of the TPP is a “process” known as “fast track”. If passed, this truly limiting element would deny Congress the right to amend the TPP and represent their constituents’ interests. With “fast track”, all Congress can do is vote the treaty up or down. In other words, it’s all or nothing regardless of how destructive the trade deal really is. Bottom line, the American people and Congress would be entirely locked out of the process. What’s worse is the president could have total treaty control, effectively making Obama “king”.

When 0 usurped the Presidency in 2008, he became the defacto king of the United States he has now "fundamentally transformed" into a socialist regime. With the above top-secret TPP now in force--and all actions that will take place under it--0's coup is now complete. He now truly holds the authority and power of a king in this land.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus.

The proven-evil GOP passed ObamaTRADE,
after selling out their voters on ObamaCARE,
and after sending the IRS after the TEA Party.

All of Obama's blathering has to be seen against the back-drop of his two foundation (two that we know of---as the Obamas get ready for the big Foundation payday.... ala the Clintons.

=========================================

QUICK, GIMME A BARF BAG Obama calls TPP "central"
to his second-term legacy, as well as to his (gag) foreign
policy and economic agendas.

==================================================

Very Interesting: few, if any, of the RCEP and TPP countries contributed to the buck-raking Clinton Foundation.

Looks like the Clintons and Obama divvied up the globe so that each have their own countries in order to collect big buck get-rich-quick foundation donations, honorarium, cosultancies, and int'l insider business deals.

======================================

THE FACTS ARE THESE Obama's trade deal giveaway is a huge scam...best examined against the backdrop of Obama's two tax-exempt foundations (two-that we know of).

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 get-rich-quick Foundations (two foundations that we know of).

The aforementioned entities control billions of dollars---and Obama is lying-in-wait for his share.

===================================================

WIKI REFERENCE: Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a proposed free trade agreement (FTA) between the ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) (Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam) and the six states with which ASEAN has existing FTAs (Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand). RCEP negotiations were formally launched in November 2012 at the ASEAN Summit in Cambodia.

GAG-A-RAMA 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).

Loyal-but-not-too-vocal opposition content in their second tier power and content with their perverted DC environs.

I totally agree with the hammering of O’Dimwit ... but this has GOP paint ALL over it. Pay attention to the enemies in your house as well.

If it’s a bad deal for America expect Obama to fully embrace it and the GOPe on Cap Hill to ram it through with lightening speed.
