1. How

After voting for President Obama twice how in the hell can he push forward with TPP. We have all seen what nafta did to so many manufacturing jobs in America, that is they know longer exist in America, TPP will be so much worse. President Obama is failing us and as of know I regret voting for him, but he has some time to change my mind and that would be to ditch TPP.

7. So, has Fast Track Passed, or not?

The title leads one to believe that it has and the clip says "introduced a bipartisan bill(?)".

8. The reference ''sneaking thru'' refers.....

 

...to this attempt by certain Congresscritters to propose Fast Tracking TPP -- while everyone else is caught up in the ChristieGate imbroglio.
