resident Obama signed hard-fought trade legislation Monday, thanking Republican leaders who helped get it done and saying the package will “reinforce America’s leadership role in the world.”
“I think it’s fair to say that getting these bills through Congress has not been easy,” Mr. Obama said as he signed the trade bills into law in the East Room. “They’ve been declared dead more than once.”

Woulda been impossible if Republicans had leadership with balls.
Hahahahaha. Boehner and McConnell worried about the optics. In hiding. Ashamed? No way.
It doesn’t matter if Boehner and McConnell were missing. It’s just government by one man now.
Anyone read it yet?
Almost the entire GOP gave this to Obama, and that includes
Boehner, McConnell, McCain and Cruz.
Only Sessions stood against this corruption.
Only Sessions.
You can run but you can’t hide.
They were only the enablers.
They weren’t invited to wipe his butt when he was done crapping all over the Constitution and the citizens.
One the bright side, Obama didn’t read what he just signed because:
Snip from page 103 of the an amendment inserted into the actual document passed that the president signed.
Just maybe there is some protection for US law standing above all else. I’m absolutely shocked as I thought the bill was a sellout. Obama reads this and he’ll veto it for sure.
SEC. 108. SOVEREIGNTY.

The way Bonehead, Ryan and McConnell fought so hard to ram this
bill thru, you would think they would want to rub it in America’s faces.
They obliviously know it it very unpopular. Hence no photo-opt.
boner and mcconnell were probably very drunk and pleasuring each other. What “leaders”.
Woulda been impossible if Republicans had leadership with balls.”
they had balls they are just busy playing with them and Obamas
Backstabbing pussies.
We need to STOP calling Obamatrade.
It was passed by RINO Leadership in Both houses.
Call it what it is...
RINOTRADE, promoted, lobbied, approved and PASSED by Republican Leaders in Both the H.O.R. and Senate!
Well they were too tired to attend after carrying all that water for their halfrican master.
Boner is beyond disgusting. He's really into world class, global BS now. He needs to check the job creation of past agreements which always increase our trade deficits substantially.
These trade schemes aren't "jobs bills", but deals to serve transnational corporations. We've learned that US corporations have 600 consultants working with our trade negotiators on these secret deals. Haven't heard about how any other interest groups might be represented, if at all.
After last week you are going to rely on some words on a piece of paper?
We won’t forget.
