On life support as of early Thursday morning, President Barack Obama’s trade agenda has found new life.
In a dramatic vote critical to the future of the president’s goal of securing new trade deals with Pacific Rim and European countries, the Senate on Thursday broke a bipartisan filibuster of legislation to give the president “fast-track” authority to negotiate new trade deals.
The 62-38 vote preserves the possibility that the Senate can finish the trade bill before the Memorial Day recess, which would be a major boon to Obama and Republican leaders in the House and Senate. It came after a round of horse-trading that assures the Export-Import Bank will receive a chance at a lifeline to live past June 30, when it is scheduled to expire.
“It was a nice victory. We’re going to continue and finish up the bill this week,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters.
Voting is so Yesterday
I wonder what McConnell’s price was?? We will never know.
I thought McConnell was going to get his feet held to the fire.
The narrative that government is composed of two halves with differing ideologies, and that one of those halves is opposed to the other half and will generally work in a direction that opposes and curtails the other half is a lie.
Government is a single celled amoeba, and it will feed itself until it kills its host.
That is all.
That dam*ed fool thinks he is actually doing something good to go along with the Marxist agenda. Has anyone given him a senility test lately?
This Obama fast track “trade” bill is the worst bill EVER. The links below prove that:
This TTP/TPA Obama trade deal is a trojan horse.It’s disguised as “free trade” What It really allows is for Obama to flood the USA with an unlimited number of 3rd world immigrants ...

It’s Obamatrade but also Obama Amnesty for the entire 3rd world.
This Fast track gives Obama power to make treaties that override U.S. laws. Soros wrote a book on how to do this. So these “conservative” Senators are voting to give Obama power to rewrite all U.S. laws because treaties override U.S. laws. It’s the destruction of the republic. Proof here :

I will tweet or call congress and tell them to vote no to give Obama fast track power to make treaties
Perfect description of what is going on here and why I’ve been saying for years we need a new party, one that takes it to the streets and the people. Two things need to be fought against: The media is #1 and the low infos are second. It is absolutely mind boggling the amount of people out there who have absolutely no idea what is going on today with this government. So many people out there who think elections are like voting for their favorite singer on American idol, it’s unreal.
“We’ll tell everyone just how gay you are...starting with a list of your ‘boytoys’.”
Or they gave him unlimited insider trading benefits...who knows.
The left wing of the Dem party has been against the TTP for some time and urging their supporters to lobby Congress against it.
“That dam*ed fool thinks he is actually doing something good to go along with the Marxist agenda....”
I submit he knows the BAD he is doing...but does not care since his price was probably exceeded. Based on actions, Boner, and he, are owned.
This trade deal includes “Trade in Services”. that means Barack Obama can let into the USA an unlimited number of workers from Mexico and Somalia and any foreign country( as this fast track allows him to make further treaties and override U.S. laws.
The people can’t read these fast track trade treaties
And they override U.S. laws
So basically the Senate voted to give Obama fast track power to overide any U.S. law

Eliminates the restrictions on “Trade in services” . This means unlimited immigration from the 3rd world into the USA

There are what around 4 billion people in the 3rd world wanting to move to the USA
This bill gives Obama much more power. Who would give more power to this anti-American marxist enemy of freeedom named Obama?
It’s treason and utter stupidity to empower this communist monster Obama
so now conservatives are for a dictatorship?
Speaking of Dr. Michael Savage, for many years I have heard him insist that the Republicans amd Democrats were like two crime organizations that had reached an “accomodation” long ago. One would control the money for a time, and then let the other would take its turn. He calls them Demicans and Republicrats. In the 1990’s, I didn’t believe him, but now it’s obvious that he’s spot on. To Dr. Savage’s credit, he was far ahead of other conservative radio hosts, some of whom still haven’t figured it out their game.
So this POS and the Ex-Im bank get a lifeline.
Bravo sh**bag RINOs, Bravo.
I’ll be happy when the RINOs in there now are extinct.
You just have to know that Obama is planning to use this in the most harmful way for the USA. Be it either trade or immigration, he has evil intent.
Obama and these republicans can all rot.
Sure we will. McConnell will brag about it.
Did all GOP vote for this treachery?
