This has the feel of Republican vs Democrat.
Oddly, and at the same time, our president seems to be quite happy to talk to his pal Senator Mitch a lot.

SSDD. Democrats attack each other, and Republicans sit back and laugh.

(17,045 posts)Mr. Obama has said Democrats have been spreading disinformation about the Pacific trade accord and the authority he is seeking, singling out Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts for her role in opposing the accord.

It's just flat out disingenuous, and insulting to all of us who just want transparency, opportunity to amend, and, oh yeah, INFORMATION.
We weren't satisfied with the infographic of vague out-of-context promises crafted by his PR team and he's mad.
It's just so disappointing. And it's a betrayal of our trust.

(5,252 posts)TPP isn't a single vote. It's making major economic policy decisions.
It's like saying Hillary's war vote was just one vote and we're not living with the repercussions 12 years later.

(5,158 posts)They agree on far more things than they disagree on. We shouldn't be like the Republicans and pit members of our own party against each other. Obama isn't perfect, but I'd take him over McCain or Romney any day.

(54,770 posts)Warren and sticking up for her (and I'm not minimizing her accomplishments, but she had done little in politics before Obama).
He deserved better than the junk she spread.

"As far as I'm concerned (Barack Obama) is a 'Baruch,' which means a blessing. He is a blessing to the United States Senate, to America, and to our shared hopes for better, safer tomorrows for all our families. The gifts that God has given to Barack Obama are as enormous as his future is unlimited. As his mentor, as his colleague, as his friend, I look forward to helping him reach to the stars and realize not just the dreams he has for himself, but the dreams we all have for him and our blessed country."

(16,373 posts)This just leapt up toe and bit my nose.
Warrens tenure in the Senate has been focused on banking and Wall Street, and she has made countless appearances in liberal settings or with liberal media outlets to argue that wage stagnation is causing the middle class to fall behind.
Democrats largely latched onto this message for the 2014 midterm elections, and Warren became a star on the campaign trail, working for other candidates. But the effort paid little dividend to anyone but Warren. Democrats lost nine Senate seats and were relegated to their smallest number of House seats since before the Great Depression.
WTF?????
