Truncated title.

Full title: Obama is turning to an unlikely ally to help him sell a key part of his legacy that's under intense fire

President Barack Obama turned to an unlikely source of support in his latest efforts to promote the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a landmark free-trade agreement that has been shredded along the campaign trail and has tepid support in Congress.

On Friday, Ohio Gov. John Kasich — once a 2016 Republican presidential hopeful — was in Washington to meet with Obama and other leaders, such as former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, to discuss the free-trade agreement between the US and 11 other Pacific Rim nations.

Kasich is a lying, corrupt slime ball.

He takes donations from Soros. He refuses to even attend the Republican Convention in his own state. He refuses to honor his public pledge to support the Republican presidential nominee.

But when Obama snaps his fingers, Kasich obediently comes to the White House to speak on Obama's behalf. Just like an obedient little lap dog.

Kasich took Soros's money and is Obama's little bitch.

Kasich is a New World Order socialist

When Trump becomes POTUS he will turn over Kasich’s trough and make him eat it off the ground. Oink! Oink! Piggy!

Anyone who had any inclination to like Kasich now must realize that he is a stooge, and is now out in the open about it.

[Plagiarized from my own previous posts, but worth saying again]

This should not surprise anyone who pays attention to Kasich:

- Kasich voted for the “Assault” Weapons Ban. https://grabien.com/file.php?id=53463 and as of last year did not regret that vote

- Kasich supported and implemented Obamacare’s Medicare expansion http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/john-kasich-bible-medicaid_us_56140a54e4b022a4ce5fb1e3

- Kasich supports Amnesty for illegals. http://www.ontheissues.org/John_Kasich.htm

- Kasich dismissively said Christian bakers should “bake the cupcake” and participate in a gay parody of the sacrament of marriage, even if it violates their religious beliefs. https://www.frcaction.org/updatearticle/20160225/kasich-pushes

- Kasich supports Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-kasich-id-consider-nominating-merrick-garland-supreme-court-election-2016/

End of discussion. Those are not old views or comments taken out of context; they are Kasich’s current and consistent positions. Of course Kasich betrays working Americans on TPP too.

Kasich is not smart enough to know that some “trade deals” are — objectively — bad.

Or know that a “trade deal” imposed on a strong country by a “committee” of weak countries is ALWAYS bad — for the strong country.

He’s under the false assumption that this trade deal will create more jobs. Kasich is looking at this from the typical corporatist Republican position rather than from a sovereignty view.

TPP is best understood against the backdrop
of Obama's post-presidential get-rich-quick foundation plans.

NOW ISN'T THIS 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 Obama's thinly-veiled actions....

(1) promoting TPA and TPP,

(2) his immigration suck-ups

(3) his non-action WRT ISIS, IRAN....

.....are best understood against the backdrop of Obama's future get-rich-quick plans as an ex-president----more specifically, his two get-rich-quick Foundations (two foundations that we know of).

All these entities control billions of dollars---and Obama is lying-in-wait for his share: foreign donations, lucrative insider trade deals from untapped resources, energy deals, telecom deals, arms sales, consultancies, million dollar honorarium...and so on and so forth.

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

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.

Unlikely?? Kasich did a few good things in Ohio. The idea that, except in his mind, he was ever going to be a serious candidate for the top job is farcical. Just like way too many other RINOs, he has spent too many years inside of the government. None matter how much ‘good” one accomplishes, if one does not return to the private sector, one cannot keep a proper perspective.
