In an interview with American Public Medias 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 Ive 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 Im in a trade relationship with them, that allows me to raise standards, now they have to start thinking about how quick theyre 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.

Mark Levin called it.
Anything 0bama wants is designed to Destroy America.
You cannot vote FOR anything ever that 0bama wants.
Cruz made a mistake, and should admit it.
I hope the legislation dies as well, but I doubt it will. The two wings of the uniparty are in perfect agreement when it comes to screwing the middle class.
Surely you jest! Not Ted Cruz! Not he of the Great Conservative Schtick!
“Brace yourself, stuff is about to start coming your way.”
Facts are difficult things. When your candidate decides to toss in his lot with the globalists, its going to cause a backlash.
If he truly cared about so called climate change, he wouldn’t fly off just to play golf, as he often does.
Yesterday I read, somewhere, that Satan is the father of lies, because he wants us to remained chained to sin. That is why we are seeing policy built on so many obvious lies.
Jesus said, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” John 8” 31b-32
So, he’s saying with this agreement he can tell the other countries what to do. Sounds like one world government to me. And the gopE are all in!
I’ve held off in my praise for Cruz. It’s way too early. And I’ve been totally disappointed every time I jump on a band wagon.
This will give Obama the power to do anything he wants. We’re only a few days away from being finished as an independent nation.
The stupidity of his statement is one more sign of how sick he and greens are.
All of them are owned by Wall Street billionaires. Some of them get handed different pages of a script in this Kabuki Theater, with the goal being for us rubes to get hung up on piles of crap manufactured differences that don’t mean a dam thing.
Your birthrights and those of your kids and grandkids are getting sold out by EVERYBODY that actually means something for:
> $.02 more EPS this quarter;
> 4% International market share growth; and
> Making sure the “right” get to enjoy the rewards of that.
The sooner we burn this shit down and start over, the better. And if we wait another 5-10 years, it might be too late.
One of his highest priorities is a scam. You would *think* that alone would be enough to get him impeached for being mentally unfit, but noooooo.
Maybe there are legitimate reasons for this secrecy and "fast-track" authority, but if there are, why is it not explained to the public. In my mind, if the president and the congressional leaders are trying to keep this secret, they are hiding something the public would probably not go along with. If it is such a great deal, bring it out into the light of day and have the sun shine on it where we can absorb its contents.
When Obama says this trade bill will advance on of his highest priorities, climate change, I know that the fix is in. And why are the republicans so anxious to give him this on a silver platter? Does he have that many dirty pictures of these congressmen with which to sway that much leverage over their votes?
This whole thing stinks to high heaven, if you ask me. But who am I but just a taxpaying voter. It's obvious we don't matter any more.
And all the other candidates are pro-amnesty. Or were before conveniently flipping right before deciding to run for president.
Sigh. We just keep being duped. The lesser of evils is still evil.
Guess the "Democrats for the working man. Republicans are for big business" stereotype is true in this case.
Jeff Sessions was right about how bad ObamaTrade really is.
I need to get the bad taste out of mouth for initially supporting Ted Cruz, the Great Middle-Class Sellout.
Its surreal that he has the GOP votes but not the Dem votes. This whole world is upside down.
What leverage do I have to get them to stop deforestation?
Yeah, get the Brazilians to start growing Rosewood again so we can get US guitar makers to put them in their instruments.
Another reason to oppose it.
