WASHINGTON, March 9 | Wed Mar 9, 2011 9:38am EST

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama wants to work with Congress to win approval of three long-delayed trade deals with South Korea, Panama and Colombia, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said on Wednesday.

"Our goal is to have all three agreements, with their outstanding issues addressed, approved by Congress," Kirk said in prepared testimony for the Senate Finance Committee.

The administration wants to solve remaining issues blocking the Panama and Colombia pacts "as quickly as possible this year and submit them to Congress immediately thereafter," he said.

1. But, but, but corporate gloibalization has worked so well for us so far

And NAFTA has certainly made Mexico a much calmer and more prosperous place.

5. They're delaying the S.Korea deal only because they want the Panama and Colombia ones done as well

Bipartisan 'good cop/bad cop' professional wrestling theater.

"Capitalism is the astounding belief that the wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone." ~John Maynard Keynes

"The crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future career." ~Albert Einstein

"It's impossible for capitalism to survive, primarily because the system needs blood to suck... And as the peoples of the world free themselves, capitalism has less victims, less to suck, and it becomes weaker and weaker. It's only a matter of time, in my opinion, before it will collapse completely." ~Malcolm X
