Obama calls it "progressive." I call it "third-way, corporatist policy."

It's so important to him, in the video, he literally stakes his reputation on it. So be it. This push for the TPP is part of his legacy.

Clinton has said she wants to continue Obama's policies. She was for the TPP, until she was against it. She called it the "gold standard for trade."

She changed her mind because it would render her unelectable. What do you think will happen after she is elected?

How can this be!?

I know many people think it is impossible for the president to be wrong. But he is. On the TPP and a host of other issues involving trade Obama has been wrong.
