McConnell gets all slippery when cornered on the secrecy that surrounds Obamatrade

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) may butt heads with Barack Obama on many things — but Obamatrade, apparently, isn’t one of them.

Speaking with Fox News this week, McConnell had a lot of trouble explaining why the White House has been so secretive with the contents of the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), the backbone for Obama’s plans to negotiate the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). He was similarly dodgy when attempting to explain why he supports the president’s plan.

“The trade agreement will be completely transparent,” he told Fox. “We’ll have a chance to vote whether to approve it or not.”

Maybe, but there’ll be no agreement without the passage of the TPA first. And it’s misleading for McConnell to characterize the TPP as a known quantity because someday after it’s been approved, everyone will finally have a look at it. Obamacare is a known quantity today, but it was a mystery until congressional Democrats passed it.

“Congress is being so secretive about Obamatrade that Congressional authorities are not only keeping the text of President Barack Obama’s various trade deals secret, they’re also keeping the log that lists which members of Congress went to go read the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) private as well,” Breitbart reported Wednesday.

“What we’ve been voting on is a procedure that allows it to be dealt with once it’s completed. We’ll know what’s in it. We’ll know everything about what’s in it and we’ll be able to decide whether to pass it or not,” Pelosi McConnell told Fox.

McConnell is no longer Obama lit, he’s Obama HEAVY!

[Enlightened1]

Benedict McConnell is a sell out rat.

The fact that this piece of garbage is the Republican Senate Majority Leader along with John Boehner in the House tells us everything we need to know about the Republican party.

We have to admit the Republican party is close to complicity infiltrated. To get past this con game.

“The trade agreement will be completely transparent,” he told Fox.
“We’ll have a chance to vote whether to approve it or not.”

“transparent” Where have we heard that before?
And the last sentence sounds like, “We have to pass it to find out what’s in it!”

As intended by the uni-party. They got tired of waiting for "comprehensive immigration reform."

GOP is the party of RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE,
making themselves EXEMPT and keeping it intact,
arming al Qaeda and protecting both the IRS and the
Benghazi Atrocity, and now intent on giving
the White Mosque more power. IDIOTS.

[jch10]

McConnell, same as Pelosi. Got to pass it to see what’s in it. Disgusting!! As are the Senate Republicans who tolerate this leadership.

[jsanders2001]

When you look at McConnell’s mouth you get the feeling that it’s been places you’d rather not know about.

[1FreeAmerican]

That is funny!!

How in the world do these guys keep a straight face while peddling this malarkey? They must really think they can see a golden payday at the end of their traitorous rainbow.
