Obama: A vote against trade is a vote against me
Politico ^ | June 12, 2015 | Ewdard-Isaac Dovere and Sarah Wheaton

Posted on 06/12/2015 9:54:49 AM PDT by C19fan

By making a rare, last-ditch visit to Capitol Hill, President Barack Obama’s message to House Democrats was clear and simple: The trade deal they’re in danger of voting down is about him. The unscheduled lobbying trip to the Hill on Friday morning was Obama’s first in nearly two years and it put his reputation on the line in an unusually personal way. He met privately with the entire House Democratic caucus, and made what one lawmaker described as a “powerful presentation.”

“Obama: A vote against trade is a vote against me”

That is clear enough - he must not receive a single Republican vote. A vote for the bill is a nail in any Republican’s political coffin - at least, it should be!!

Representive Woodall:

Since his elevation to the office, Obama has made crystal clear his hatred for America and all she once represented. He and Jarrett have done all they can to weaken and ultimately destroy this nation.

I write to you with a very simple message:

While my specific interest at the moment is the sovereignty destroying so-called Fast Track Trade measure, until he is out of office, I INSIST that you VIGOROUSLY OPPOSE any legislation offered by or SUPPORTED by this White House or any of his Democrat (AND REPUBLICAN!) flunkies in Congress on the basis that if Obama and Jarrett support it, it is WRONG for this country and is without question designed to further weaken and destroy us and our freedoms!

By return email, please tell me if there is any part of this message you do not understand!
Dick Bachert, Georgia

PS: If you vote for ANY legislation BEFORE you have read it, the growing number of sane and very angry voters out here will remember on election day.

No sh**, Dorkbama.

We loathe, despise, pee upon, and fart in your general direction.

You are pond scum.

Your toes repel dogs.

Your brain is outsized by a hydrogen atom.

Flies flee from you.

Get the picture, Obamahole?

“Republicans, who generally support the legislation, greeted the president with cheers using the bill’s acronym — “TPA, TPA!”

I am at a loss for words. It is incomprehensible. The only thing I can think of right now are - you fools. I hope there is a video of this so we can flush this ordure out next year.

Our greatest enemies today are McConnell and Boehner.

Our Rep. Rep. John Moolenaar, (R) Mi. seems to be removing the comments from his facebook page telling him to vote down the TPP.

Me thinks John is a John Boehner bootlicker who again claimed to be a Conservative while running for office and now that he was elected turned Rino or finally came out of the closet.

At any rate, feel free to make your voice heard.

Now Nancy Pelosi says she will vote against TPP if it stops TPA.

Then it’s settled from the ideological standpoint. It’ll probably pass.

Exactly! He’s even made it EASY for conservatives...and even RINO’s...to shred this cr@p sandwich. But, as usual, they’ll give it to him and then accept blame when the cadillac turns into a yugo.

A loathsome display by a bunch of amoral, greedy, power-hungry bastards.

That is a good start. I still can’t wrap my mind around it.
