Progressive groups slam “progressive” pro-TPP operation. Buzzfeed:

“There’s something weird about the [Progressive Coalition for American Jobs]: No one in the Washington, D.C., progressive community seems to have ever heard of them before … ‘It’s insulting,’ said Candice Johnson, spokesperson for the Communications Workers of America, one of the many unions organized against TPP. ‘You put progressive in your name and that’s going to convince people?’ … [PCAJ’s Lynda] Tran didn’t answer questions about who funds the group or who the coalition’s members are.”

Tho Obama is pushing TPP, no progressives are. Can't even think of plain ole liberals, and few left-of-centrists. Repubs have a tendency to mis-name their groups. Sounds like this one is another.

1. That name is as meaningful as "Americans for Prosperity (of the Koch brothers)".

“Pro-corporate Coalition of Obama Campaign Staffers For Losing American Jobs" is more like it.
Don't these people know that we can investigate this crap? Or is it hubris, knowing that the fix is in, and just trying to pretty up yet another slap in the face of liberals, in case our votes are needed.
