I had answered, but it is no place to be seen, so here goes again.
This one is really going to cost him right where it hurts, that hard core base.

EXCERPTS:
WASHINGTON -- A critical document from President Barack Obama's free trade negotiations with eight Pacific nations was leaked online early Wednesday morning, revealing that the administration intends to bestow radical new political powers upon multinational corporations, contradicting prior promises.
The leaked document has been posted on the website of Public Citizen, a long-time critic of the administration's trade objectives. The new leak follows substantial controversy surrounding the secrecy of the talks, in which some members of Congress have complained they are not being given the same access to trade documents that corporate officials receive.
"The outrageous stuff in this leaked text may well be why U.S. trade officials have been so extremely secretive about these past two years of [trade] negotiations," said Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch in a written statement.

But Obama has other ideas.
Obama is just pathetic.
What is wrong with the above statement? Oh yeah, it would be just like the revolving door we currently have between people in big business, big oil, big pharma, big ag and big banking and positions in key government agencies...but on a global level. These corporations and businessmen have no national allegiance, their only concern is the almighty dollar. And yes, they will sell out their country for money.
If this agreement is adopted, we will cede that much more of our national sovereignty. While this is being worked on during 0bama's term, I noticed that Romney wants it finalized ASAP, too, so we will probably end up with this whether we like it or not.
just as Obama didn't officially 'authorize' the White House leaks.
- this post was paid for by the "Hillary 2016" campaign.

It's one thing to openly make policy and a totally different thing to hide,lie and sneak policies into enforcement.
Eventually the Republicans are going to end up taking the heat for not calling obama out on the dozens of issues that are undermining this country. Who else would you blame! The average citizen is supposed to be working, paying taxes, running a home, growing a family........That's why we put politicians in DC; to work for us and on our behalf!!
I would bet that I think about this crap more than my elected officials.
This one is really going to cost him right where it hurts, that hard core base.
I could be wrong, but things seem to be slowly catching up with him in the real world. Except the Lib hacks on SH will never turn on him.
