Boehner tells Clinton don’t let Obama 'swing in the wind' over Asia-Pacific trade deal
foxnews.com ^ | 5/3/15

House Speaker John Boehner said Sunday that Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential frontrunner, needs to support the trade legislation that President Obama wants to help get enough Democratic votes for passage.

The Ohio Republican, in a wide-ranging interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press,” said the GOP indeed controls the House and Senate but that he and Obama “needs her help” to give the president negotiating authority to complete an Asia-Pacific trade deal.

“We can't do this by ourselves,” Boehner said. “Every president over the last 50 years has had this (authority.) There is no reason why President Obama shouldn't have it either because trade is good for our country.”

Clinton as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013 supported such legislation. But as a presidential candidate she appears noncommittal -- amid liberal Democrats and labor unions saying the pact would cost American jobs and lower environmental standards.

“Hillary Clinton was for trade promotion authority,” Boehner added. “Hillary Clinton is for the trade bill with the Asians, she just won't say so.”

Boehner is an unreconstructed appeaser. Until the Pubbie caucus grows a pair, he will be like a boil on our collective arses.

What could possibly go wrong with another “free trade” agreement? After all the reduction of tariffs and quotas over the last 25 years has produced an economic boom. Of course the boom was in China.

Hey Boehner!

If this trade deal is so damn special why are you hiding the details?

Why is Congress abdicating its responsibility in this matter and handing its Constitutional authority over to an America hating President?

Did Boehner somewhere along the line become a Democrat and forget to tell everyone?

He is a two faced POS. We tried to get him out of there but got no support from our supposed conservative majority (that is what they tell the voters anyway). He doubled down when his prime stooge Canter got the heave ho but the rank and file did not have the nads to toss him out following the lead from the Canter primary.

Wake me when rev II starts.

May I make a slight correction to your title?

Thank you.

Here it is, as it should read: Boehner tells Clinton don’t let my lord and master, his majesty king Obama 'swing in the wind' over Asia-Pacific trade deal

"Please, please, please, master, let me be your monica lewinsky for the night, I'll do anything, anything you order me to do." Johnnie Boy Bohner whispers in it's master, it's lord and master, it's god's ear.

Boehner is dead to me.

He is a an idiot, he has no conservative values, or any redeeming values at all, for that matter.

Never did like him.

Boehner/McConnell are busy implementing the most egregious political betrayal of America in American history. They specifically campaigned against what they are now pursuing.

““Every president over the last 50 years has had this (authority.) There is no reason why President Obama shouldn’t have it either because trade is good for our country.””

But it won’t end up a trade bill if Zero negotiates it. It will be a let everyone sue American businesses for environmental reasons bill . . . and that would be just the first page.

Sorry, I believe you’re wrong. Boehner is doing exactly what the vast majority of the GOP caucus wants. Some of his biggest supporters are from the most red areas of the country. These beltway bums are happy to sell Main Street to the highest bidder and Boehner gives them cover to do it.

IOW, she's now in the crosshairs -- a position into which the Partisan Media Shills wouldn't put her -- regarding whether she'll support it. If she comes out in favor of it, she's screwed in the primaries. If she comes out against it, she's screwed with the Democrat establishment. If she says nothing, she's screwed with both. Thank you, Speaker Boehner.
