Obama: Trade Bill Will Advance ‘One of My Highest Priorities’ – Climate Change

In an interview with American Public Media’s Marketplace, President Obama says fast-tracking the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade bill would help him advance his climate change agenda, which he said is “one of my highest priorities.”

During the interview with host Kai Ryssdal of Marketplace, Obama said, “If we want to solve something like climate change, which is one of my highest priorities, then I’ve got to be able to get into places like Malaysia, and say to them, this is in your interest.”

“What leverage do I have to get them to stop deforestation?” he asked. “Well part of the leverage is, if I’m in a trade relationship with them, that allows me to raise standards, now they have to start thinking about how quick they’re chopping down their forests and what kinds of standards they need to apply to environmental conservation.”

“So, we have to engage, not withdraw,” the president stated.

Obama is in a struggle, however, with fellow Democrats who argue the measure will harm U.S. workers and give the upper hand to big business. During the interview, he specifically pointed to the “mistake” his “progressive friends” are making in not supporting fast-tracking the measure.

[Rockitz]

As suspected. Hopefully this POS legislation dies a painful death in the House.

[grania]

Because Malaysia etc will follow global climate mandates as well as China does?

Anyone who votes to give Obama this increased power does not belong in elective office. And that includes you-know-who.

During the interview, he specifically pointed to the “mistake” his “progressive friends” are making...

See, I’m not like the others...

Now you would think his “progressive friends”
would take umbrage at this, but not a peep
will you hear. It’s all just part of the plan.

“If we want to solve something like climate change the destruction of the United States, which is one of my highest priorities, then I’ve got to be able to get into places like Malaysia, and say to them, this is in your interest.”

[Starboard]

I wouldn’t count on the Republicans to kill it. They don’t seem to fight against anything Obama wants.

[longfellow]

F.U.O.

[ncalburt]

Are you referring to The Two Head Useful Idiots / Cheerleaders for this destroy the USA Middle Class Amnesty Crony Capitalism Trojan Horse named Cruz and Paul Amnesty Ryan who are both owned by Wall Street Billionaires ?

How dare speak ill of the Bought Off Phony conservatives !/ sarcasm alert !

[tophat9000]

[grania]

[hondact200]

in other words Social Engineering - No More Coal Burning Plants - Everyone in rural areas in cold climates is moved into government housing in metropolitan areas. Climate Change is a hoax.

[Wolfie]

Funny you mention Malaysia. The first African-American President is fighing to keep slavery alive an well there. So no more talk of reparations, eh kids?

[hondact200]

So Cruz and Ryan have been bought and paid for by George Soros. That seems the only truth that I can find, Ryan is a joke and so is Cruz becoming. Rand Paul said he determined there was nothing outrageous in it. So Rand Paul has been bought by George Soros too! But 6700 pages means there are issues that mean disaster!

[b4its2late]

Agreed. Anything Bambi wants should be extinguished. He’s already screwed our healthcare system and is dragging the economy into the crapper.

[C210N]

The first African-American President ...

If anything, he's American-African. With emphasis on 'If'.

“In an interview with American Public Media’s Marketplace, President Obama says fast-tracking the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade bill would help him advance his climate change”

Even Obama doesn’t know that it is TPA that he is fast-tracking. That is according to some people who have called me a liar for mentioning TPP.

[BlackAdderess]

Sure. Because giving people who abuse things more money/power has just worked out so well in the Middle East.

[odawg]

“Cheerleaders for this destroy the USA Middle Class Amnesty Crony Capitalism Trojan Horse named Cruz’

Brace yourself, stuff is about to start coming your way.

[MrB]

So it’s confirmed, directly from Obama -

Climate Change policy is designed for nothing less than destroying America and its economy.

[DungeonMaster]

2The2:9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

You can see the end of the world being set up as a larger and larger percentage of the population believes lies and is strongly deluded.

[Mariner]

Associating Climate Change is a BS effort to give cover to the DOZENS of Democrats they still need to pass this POS.

Its a very good sign they need votes from democrats, and more of them.
