The Ed Show Just Handed Obamas A$$ back to him on TPP

Ed says the TPP is NAFTA on steroids. Will hurt labor and this POTUS is not backing down on fast tracking the TPP.

Obama will betray the very group, LABOR, that elected him twice to the POTUS if Obama keeps pushing this.

Obama will not talk to the America Public, what is he afraid of.

BTW, Hilary is also for the TPP and anything else that benefits the 1% and corporate America.
