My point is that there's nothing unique about how TPP is being handled.

That is false. Notwithstanding the legislative differences, 0bama wasn't president. We didn't have a president that wants to screw us at every opportunity.

He is not looking out for us.

The process has been the same under many presidents, including Obama.

Thats an opinion, yes. But under the law there’s an assumption (”Regularity”) that the President and other leaders of the government are acting legitimately within the scope and responsibilites of their offices.

So saying “I don’t like/trust Obama” isn’t good enough.

What IS good enough is asking whether this is a typical trade deal or something much larger and more institutionally invasive. I think it is. And this believe that TPA needs to be modified (back to 67 vote threshold) to account for it.
