WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats dealt President Barack Obama a stinging setback on trade Tuesday, blocking efforts to begin a full-blown debate on a top priority of his second term

The president's supporters said they will try again, possibly starting in the House. But they couldn't sugar-coat a solid rebuke from the president's own party, led by some who served with him in the Senate.

The Democrats in R jerseys are working for Obama harder than the real Democrats.

What’s funny is if Obama was still in the Senate he’d be with them opposing this.

Give them credit.
For attacking conservatives and TEA Party using the IRS,
for arming al Qaeda and ISIS,
for covering up every sort of corruption
including Benghazi,
for blatant LYING to their voters after stealing their money,
the GOP (Gave Obama Power) Party SHINES.

Trans-Pacific Partnership is a gun-grab in disguise. I’m happy its larval stage (the authority fast-track) went down in flames.

I’m disappointed but not surprised. I don’t trust a single one of them. That includes Cruz and Walker.

I’m glad evil Obama got defeated on this trade deal. It would have allowed UNRESTRICTED immigration into the USA, proof:

http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/immigration/item/20710-obama-gop-trade-scheme-includes-unrestricted-immigration

That means hundreds of millions of 3rd world immigrants flooding the USA

All this communist Obama does is lie. Obama says this is for “trade” but it’s really to bring in the 3rd world into the USA ( a trojan horse).

Obama said the FCC regulating the Internet with “net neutrality” is to protect the Internet . Actually not: it’s a lie as it is for government to control the Internet and to ruin it.

they should call this POS Obama trojan horse as all he does is bring in Trojan horses into the USA to destroy the USA.

I agree.

Obama is pure evil .

I hate Obama more than anything ever. this monster has ruined my life and now will ruin the Internet

In one month Obama will silence us all for good:

Obama and the FCC will shut down Drudge and freerepublic, and the Internet. I can’t believe even on this site people don’t seem to know or care what Obama is going to do to the Internet:

"I am disappointed that Ted Cruz supported giving Obama such powers."

Indeed, why could he have done this? He voted for the Senate perversion of the review of Obama's deal with Iran, too and his explanation was lame.

I called his office in DC and Dallas and vented .

I suspect they are bought and paid for.
His big Pres donors wanted the bill more than likely..

He is not getting a nickel from us now.

Senator Sessions as he is always right: This trade power given to Obama would have allowed Obama to bring in untold millions of immigrants from the 3rd world. Obama is pure evil

Obama needs to be jailed for treason

Well worth reading, Senator Sessions speaks truthfully, as he always does.

Did you get a human on the phone?

I'll try calling them now lol. I need to get on them to stop Obama’s takeover of the Internet with the FCC controlling the Internet with SOROS regulations

Obama and the FCC will shut down Drudge and freerepublic, and the Internet. I can’t believe even on this site people don’t seem to know or care what Obama is going to do to the Internet:

“FCC Commissioner: Feds May Come for Drudge [Isaiah 29]”

His support of this deal. increasing the 'H' visa's, and increasing immigration. All more than a little concerning.
