Democrats kneecap Obama (trade bill flop heard round the world)

NY POST.COM ^ | 6/12/15 | EDITORIAL BOARD

EDITED June 12---the day Obama became a lame duck.....when Democrats voted a stunning derailment of his Pacific free-trade initiative....which Obama calls central to his second-term legacy, as well as to his foreign policy and economic agendas. Democrats even refused to support a worker-protection provision they've backed for more than 40 years. Nancy Pelosi asserted she was sticking with Democratic special interests — labor unions and the green lobby.....the only way "to slow down the fast-track.” Pelosi suggests they might switch sides if bribed with passage of a highway-funding bill. When it comes to the Democrats’ agenda, Barack Obama isn’t in control. Boehner will allow a re-vote on worker-protection in hopes the White House can round up more votes.

God bless Nancy Pelosi

[oust the louse]

Hold your enthusiasm....another vote Tuesday...this was just a little grandstanding to show this vote is for the “people”. They will screw us Tuesday...just watch.

[Gaffer]

I wouldn’t ask for her blessing, but I am comforted that her need for the power of the Speakership caused her to backstab Obama. Those two deserve each other. If anything I am surprised that Mr. Reed (NOT Senate Majority Leader now, thankfully) has been silent. I guess he’s having to deal with his own problems and the mob.

[ClearCase_guy]

It will pass next week after theym add more pork and make it worse.

The Repubs are the ones stabbing us in the back.

Pray America is waking

Obama calls TPP central to his second-term legacy, as well as to his foreign policy and economic agendas.

WIKI REFERENCE: Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a proposed free trade agreement (FTA) between the ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) (Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam) and the six states with which ASEAN has existing FTAs (Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand). RCEP negotiations were formally launched in November 2012 at the ASEAN Summit in Cambodia.

==================================================

NOTE WELL: Interesting to note that few, if any, of the RCEP and TPP countries contributed to the buck-raking Clinton Foundation.

Looks like the Clintons and Obama divvied up the globe so that each have their own countries in order to collect big buck foundation donations, honorarium, cosultancies, and int'l insider business deals.

More on Obama's foundations below.

The trade deal giveaway is a huge scam...best examined against the backdrop of Obama's two tax-exempt foundations (two that we know of).

THE FACTS ARE THESE Obama's priming the pump for donations to his two Foundations. All of it---TPA and TPP--Obama's immigration suck-ups---his non- action WRT ISIS, IRAN---are best understood against the backdrop of Obama's future plans as an ex-president----more specifically, his two Foundations (two that we know of).

The aforementioned entities control billions of dollars---and Obama is lying-in-wait for his share.

Just the other day--Obama proudly bragged that “today, once again, the US is the most respected country on earth.”

So it doesn’t matter Putin continues his invasion of Ukraine....

Or that China knows it can continue grabbing key sea areas, building vast artificial islands on which to plant its flag (and weapons). Or that Bashar al-Assad is back to using chemical weapons, because Obama won't enforce his own “red line.”

As for Iran: It’s already breaking the “interim” US nuclear deal by building enriched-uranium stockpiles far larger than it promised. Iraq? In the same town-hall, Obama talks of how “we were able to end two wars."

=========================================

Obama learned from the Clintons how to get a big payday for his two foundations: look on w/ approval even if countries invade and depopulate.....and never e-v-e-r utter a discouraging word e-v-e-r.

Maybe even shake hands w/ foreign tyrants to get mining permits and million dollar honorariums as Clinton did in Kazakhstan.

======================================

How well Obama learned at the knee of Hillary when she was Obama's Secy of State. At that time the "State Dept Mission Statement" mentioned that it would "create a more secure, democratic, and prosperous world for the benefit of the American people and the international community."

(Well, profitable for the Clinton Foundation, anyway.)

Now it looks like that "prosperous world" is gonna happen, thanks to Obama's two foundations (/snix).

THE OBAMAS GET READY FOR THE BIG FOUNDATION PAYDAY Obama isnt even out of office yet---and already has two foundations (two that we know of).

(1) "The Obama Foundation" announced the location of its library in Chicago.....revving up the next ex-president's money machine.

(2) The second Obama foundation----The Barack H. Obama Foundation (BHOF)---(named after their dad), was fast-tracked by Lois Lerner for IRS tax-exempt status....for Malik Obama, Barack's half brother.

The BHOF is based at a Virginia UPS store, according to its website. The organization’s IRS filings list another Virginia address that is actually a drug rehab center where the foundation does not appear ever to have been based.

As first reported by The Daily Caller, the foundation was speedily approved for IRS exemption by Lois Lerner, the self-same IRS senior official at the center of the targeting of conservative organizations that have waited over two years to receive tax exempt status. The IRS thoughtfully gave Obama Foundation retroactive fund-raising status.......which it stupidly never applied for.

The tax-exempt Barack H. Obama Foundation is run by Abon’go “Roy” Malik Obama, the half-brother of Barack Obama.

The foundation’s mission statement is “to provide people everywhere with resources to uplift their welfare and living standards in memory of dad---Barack H. Obama: in the region of his birth, Kenya, and beyond.” Its guiding principle is “the inherent belief that no one can truly enjoy the riches he has reaped if his neighbor suffers....."We seek to elevate the human condition so that everyone can live in dignity and truly enjoy having one another as neighbors.”

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

Despite raising more than $250,000, the alleged charity doesn’t seem to have done much. Its website claims the organization has built a madrassa and was building an imam’s house as well as some “proposed latrines,” but there is no other evidence that the nonprofit was working to “mitigate social-shortcomings in areas of education and literacy, health and well-being, poverty, and lack of community infrastructure in such basic needs such as water, electricity, shelter and sustenance,” as the site says.

Alton Ray Baysden, a former Dept of State employee, allegedly a registered Republican, who helped start the Barack H Obama foundation, declined to comment before seeing copies of a reporter’s passport and govt ID, along with a description of the article’s “motivation” and “slant.”

Repeated reporters' phone calls went to the organization’s voicemail and were not returned.

Malik spends most of his time in Kenya with his 12 wives while Obama finances his half brother, Malik, a major fundraiser for the Muslim Bortherhood.

==================================================

GOVERTNMENT FRAUD AT ITS FINEST--deposited in numbered accounts in offshore banks?

Obama's federal outlays (that we know of).:

<><> $2 billion funding to Malik's organization---the Muslim Brotherhood,

<><> $50 million to Malik/Barack's tax-exempt foundation in the form of a grant to Kenya.

<><> While the Muslim Brotherhood was in charge in Egypt, Obama (and Hillary) showered them w/ praise.....and billions of US dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes.

<><> Obama gave $90 million US tax dollars to wealthy oil-rich African countries.

Happy Happy Birthday.....I hope you enjoy your day and that your year is the best of them all.

Hmmmm.

lol

[molson209]

It’s all smoke and mirrors , both parties will deal on some crap and Obama will get Obamatrade

[ClearCase_guy]

It seems really clear. The Republicans want this to pass (God knows why). Obama wants it to pass.

Now it's time for the play-acting:

Democrats: "Oh, I don't know about this. We don't like this bill. No, no, no. We just can't let this pass."
Republicans: "Please?"
Democrats: "Maybe ... if you give us -- this."
Republicans: "Okay."
Democrats: "And this. And this. And that."
Republicans: "You got it."
Demcrats: "Okay, I guess you've convinced us. We are now ready to support the bill which Obama is trying to stake his legacy on."

Complete Kabuki.

I can’t help but think this is a global conspiracy. While more U.S. jurisdictions adopt a higher minimum wage, we want to open the doors for foreign (and cheaper) labor. Has anyone in government got a brain? Both jobs and manufacturing plants will move to foreign countries, thus severely weakening the United States both economically and militarily. And our representatives think this is a good thing?

[AlaskaErik]

They're just holding out for more pork. Can we still call it pork? Or is that offensive to muslims?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Nazi really sucker punched Blam. No honor among thieves. Ya gotta love it. :-)

[Bluestocking]

‘’Pelosi suggests they might switch sides if bribed with passage of a highway-funding bill.’’

To paraphrase Margaret Thatcher, socialism will die in America when the Obama/Boehner government runs out of money to meet Nancy Pelosi’s extortion demands with a multi-billion-dollar payoff.

[sunrise_sunset]

They don’t care, they just want to cash out.

There is no mass constituency in the US that supports this bill, on the left, right or anything else. Everyone knows free trade has been a scam, and with trade in services it will be massively expanded.
