These aren’t new powers! You are being hysterically inaccurate in what the TPA does. Presidents have hade this power in the past, it’s simply being renewed with the congressional ability to “kill it to death with 1000 cuts” being removed.
President’s have always had the right to negotiate trade agreements. Trade deals never get done because of union pressure. The TPA defangs Democrats in Congress. That’s why they despise it so much and voted against it. Trade deals never get done because of union pressure.
This doesn’t give Obama anymore authority than any President before him. It’s just hyperbole and lies that a bunch of you are spewing.
I am not being hysterical. We have never had a president the likes of Barack Obama before. They gave up their power to amend and, in so doing, handed the enemy power. Now they will be forced to accept whatever BS he sees fit to insert into this bill and he will see fit to insert BS into this bill. Hillary has shown us, beyond any shadow of a doubt, how they use and abuse power. Obama will use this power to reward and empower his faithful and himself. This is TARP all over again. You’re wrong about everything. Nothing hyperbolic about that.
