Democrats: Obama Has Done ‘Nothing’ to Fix Trade Deal Problems(Shield your eyes!)

Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) said the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal is “riddled with problems” and the Obama administration has done “nothing” to resolve the issues.

DeLauro added that the trade deal negotiations are being conducted in secret and transparency provisions have failed to make improvements.

“There are serious concerns on the substance of the agreement,” she said on a conference call. “The agreement does nothing on currency manipulation and abusive practices costing up to 5 million American jobs.”

While TPP presents an opportunity to crack down on currency manipulation, DeLauro said the administration has ignored requests from both parties for stronger provisions to address the problem.

During the conference call, DeLauro cited an estimate that each vehicle imported into the U.S. from Japan amounts to a $1,500 subsidy while American automobiles are locked out of the Japanese market due to excessive bureaucracy and onerous inspections.

I am SOOOOOO sorry that the picture is there. Anyway, I am simply gob smacked that there are issues associated with this agreement. I mean really? My "republican" senator and my "republican" representative both supported it despite my protestations (yeah, like they listen to me) and both sent me BS boiler plate "it's good for the NV economy" letters. Guess I'm a bit redfaced for having trusted either of them.

Are the 'Rats about to throw the Bus... under the Bus?

Only reason now to do so is to try and unstick themselves with the stench, and try to come up with a non-Hillary! to rally around, so as to fool at least half the people, again.

Ah, but Hillary, yes, Hillary will fix the trade problems. She is the true standard bearer of the Democrat Party. Obama was a glimmer, a miasma, and penumbra. A glittering pinprick of the light of hope during a dark time in the world. But Hillary, yes Hillary, SHE is what our party stands for.

For 30 years I’ve been the hiring manager for various F500 corporations in the energy development industry. I know the Barack Obama personality type quite well. See, with him, he will rattle off and commit to paper a few accomplishments that may appear to be quite impressive on their face - until you get to the details. Then the lie begins to unravel like the ball of yarn your new kitten is so fond of.

Obama sold TPP as free trade .Obama trade TPP is really is a Trojan horse for unrestricted immigration. Senator Sessions agrees:

“Sessions to House GOP: TPA a Trojan horse for executive action on immigration, climate change; Update: Dem opposition “growing”

http://hotair.com/archives/2015/06/11/ryan-sessions-demand-amendments-on-tpp-to-block-executive-action-on-trade-climate-change/

http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/immigration/item/20710-obama-gop-trade-scheme-includes-unrestricted-immigration

Senators all supported Obama trade. Then they passed TPA which makes Obama trade certain to pass (TPP).

Ditto for the Corker Iran bill that made the Iran deal possible. All Senators except cotton voted for the Corker bill

These are 2 nuclear bombs against the USA. The Iran deal is literally a nuclear bomb brought to you by your Senators and Obama , a nuke as thanks for you voting for them.
