I hope Obama wins but... [View all]

If he does we'll still have a President that pushes free trade. He's maybe not as severe an offshore fanatic as Romney, but Obama has been pushing through the deals with Korea and Colombia and Peru even though they were started under Bush. His trade rep Ron Kirk is pro nafta free trader and his "jobs" czar? A head of GE known for offshoring. The Trans Pacific Partnership will go through with little scrutiny no matter who wins the White house. Very few people have even heard of it. It's been the best kept secret during the elections and debates and I'm sure not by accident.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I remember it took a democrat prez to push through Nafta and Most favored nation with China.
