Speaker of the House John Boehner is praising the Senate's passage of the trade bill and calling on Democrats to join with Republicans to pass the law in the House.
“Trade helps create good-paying American jobs, so it’s good news that the Senate has put us one step closer to eliminating trade barriers. These reforms have the support of farmers, manufacturers, small business owners, and Americans from all walks of life, and it’s not hard to figure out why," Boehner says in a statement.
"With trade promotion authority, we’ll be able to hold President Obama accountable so America’s workers can get the best agreements. Without it, our workers will fall further behind as China writes the rules of the global economy. It is a no-brainer. The House will take up this measure, and Republicans will do our part, but ultimately success will require Democrats putting politics aside and doing what’s best for the country. Let’s seize this opportunity to open new doors for the things Americans make and the people who make them."

Lost me right there, Boenhead. Since when have any of you useless Republicans made an effort to this end?
And all of a sudden the DC pols on our side trust Obama?
Beyond disgusted.
This is very sick and conniving stuff. One way or another these guys are being paid off via campaign donations and other avenues. Like getting a dumb nephew hired by corporation X that benefits from traitorous trade deals.
Boner is going to be holding Zer0 accountable? Boner should take over for Letterman....
Boehner is the new Nancy Piglosi.
This bill is so good for us that they won’t let us see it.
We wait decades to get the majority in the Senate and the House of Representatives, then get saddled with McConnell and Boehner.
Right now Obama has a Democrat Senate and House, for all intents and purposes.
OK who has custody of the picture of Bohener with the GOAT
And if they give us a polished turd, aka anyone else other than Cruz/Walker, Walker/Cruz ticket they thought we stayed home in 12'? Those E-GOP morons haven't seen nothing yet, they will loose all three branches. I am not bending over again...
Yep, you nailed it.
Uniparty.
Out situation will continue to worsen until they are eradicated. Meaning: thrown out of our government and their organization destroyed. That starts with you. Cut off their money and don’t vote for any of them. Then persuade everyone you can to do the same.
There may be some “good” Republicans here and there, but the organization is a cancer.
Not going to happen — it would then be worthless to the socialist blackmailers.
“With trade promotion authority, we’ll be able to hold President Obama accountable so America’s workers can get the best agreements.”
Boehner, you traitorous fool, why is the bill secret?
“We have to pass the bill so you still can’t see what’s in it” John Boehner
Yup, the election last fall was all about the American voter’s desire to see Obama given yet more power.
No one.
No such picture exists.
This is who they are. They most certainly are not good people forced to do bad things via blackmail.
They are evil people who do evil things, because they are evil.
The transparency is so abundant, in this the most transparent administration EVER, it is near impossible to see?
The truth is likewise. ya need a chisel to get to it!
How pathetic. Boehner has yet to hold Obama accountable for anything.
Drudge lambasted Boehner on this last night on twitter. Drudge said that if Republicans lose in 2016 it can be traced back to this moment. The comments on twitter were priceless. One person said that Boehner wanted to pass the bill to see what was in it.
