Obama after trade deal defeat: This is personal for me

Minutes after his former Democratic colleagues in the Senate filibustered his trade deal, President Obama sent a message to supporters declaring the fight was “personal for me” and pleading with liberals to rally around him.

The president has been working with congressional Republicans to try to win fast-track trade powers, which would allow him to more easily negotiate trade agreements such as the Trans Pacific Partnership deal with 11 nations that border the Pacific Ocean.

But Democrats, including dozens who served in the Senate when Mr. Obama was there, have balked at his efforts, questioning whether he has American workers’ interests in mind. On Tuesday, they rallied to filibuster the fast-track bill, derailing it.

So hopefully now we’ll see him turn some of his nastiness, pettiness and spite on Libs? Pass the popcorn.

[Sacajaweau]

Well...get over yourself.

[Jewbacca]

He’s such a baby.

Black Sore Loserman..?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

It is all personal for him. He thinks he is king.

[cuban leaf]

This is one of his problems: It’s all personal.

If only the guy had actually had some business experience before becoming POTUS.

[Obadiah]

This guy is just so emotionally fragile. He’s like some skinny 6 year old little girl.

[ckilmer]

its a shame the pubbies did not take a bigger part in handing obama this defeat.

[Farmer Dean]

Everything that doesn’t go his way is “personal” to him.

[cuban leaf]

I’m wondering if we are starting to see a stampede of democrats running from what may be the biggest lame duck president in history.

[Army Air Corps]

President Thin Skin stomps his feet...again.

[Sir Napsalot]

“Constitutional Scholar” my foot !!!!

[caver]

It’s all about MEEEEEE!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Mr. Cynic gets cynical...

[Resolute Conservative]

He has money invested in some things that need to work out...

[Forty-Niner]

“If only the guy had actually had some business experience before becoming POTUS.”

Commies never work in business...it’s against their ideology! They all become agitators er “community organizers” for ACORN.

[Kaslin]

You said it

[cherokee1]

hey hey hey——don’t be talking bad about six year old girls. Most of them can throw a ball. But in the case of Odumbo here, if he wants to do a little trade stuff, how about if he builds a pipeline? Just for practise?

As the father of a skinny 6 year old little girl, you made me smile. My daughter is going through the, "but it's not fair phase."

I tell her life isn't fair, get over it. You can't always get what you want. She's finally starting to get it. Apparently nobody told zero the same thing when he was a kid.
