Obama's own party revolts, asking him to reconsider a new free trade agreement that would ban "buy American" policies. Why are democrats revolting against Obama?

Know what I think? First, laying the predicate, overall I believe the Democratic party has been infiltrated with traitorous folks bent on destroying the America I grew up in. The remainder of the party consists of old-time dems who have more liberal beliefs than Republicans, etc., but most of whom don't believe in any conspiracy theories. Okay.

Barack Obama has made absolutely no secret of what his little brain thinks about our country and what he thinks our country should be like. His Green movement is relentless and, in many instances, without merit and/or unproven, and yet he continuously jams them down our throats without any thought of economic consequences in these trying times. Likewise, his class warfare and income redistribution plan are right up there with the Green projects.

All that having been said, Barack Obama is, if nothing else, a very effective politician. Speaking proverbially, he could sell freezers to the Eskimos, or however that little joke went. And the democratic party is not quite as ignorant as a lot of folks think. There are many dems who are beginning to recognize that Obama speaks to the crowd he is addressing; i.e., says what that particular group wants to hear. Promises them whatever it is they are wishing for the most in order to secure their vote. But then he'll turn around at another location and say something totally opposite. But the lamestream media never grabs hold of those instances to report them. Totally ignores them, to be honest with you. So then you have Internet newsbodies passing these info things around and then, of course, there is so much distortion and outright lying that someone cites a situation, somebody else comes back with "proof" of a lie and, bam, everybody else decides this is just another plot by republicans to discredit Obama and the incident is washed under the bridge forever.

And now you have some democrats who are waking up and seeing what is happening. That's the funny thing about chicanery, you know. People can witness all kinds of nasty things and keep their mouths shut for a long time and then, all of a sudden, they witness the straw that breaks the camel's back and, boom, you've got a new non-believer.

And that is what is happening to a lot of the folks who supported Obama all this time. They no longer trust him. They wonder what things he'll change right after he's reelected that will be contrary to what they were led to believe he'd do. There's just too many lies surrounding the man. You never really know what he's thinking. Just as an aside, recall all the "apologizing for America" trips he made after taking office, his refusal to wear an American flag lapel pin (until public sentiment was heard), among other things, and then his rah-rah-rah emotional speeches on special days such as 9/11 or the recent Bin Laden death anniversary. You can't trust him. Will the real Barack Obama please stand up? Hmmmm, which one of those guys is he?

That's what I think.

Interesting how you phrase your question, No where did I read "That Obama's own party revolts", so why do you put this slant on the question. they do say, "We do not believe this approach is in the best interests of U.S. manufacturers and U.S. workers," the letter reads." It further states, "We do not believe this approach is in the best interests of U.S. manufacturers and U.S. workers," Since the 1930s, the American government has offered preferential treatment to American producers in the awarding of federal contracts.
"sent a
letter to President Barack Obama on Thursday urging him to reconsider" is not a statement saying they are revolting.

A trade agreement currently under negotiation contains language that could potentially ban "Buy American" provisions, crimping American manufacturing.
WASHINGTON -- A group of 68 House Democrats and one Republican sent a letter to President Barack Obama on Thursday urging him to reconsider an element of the controversial free trade agreement currently being negotiated by the administration. If approved in its current form, the pact would effectively ban "Buy American" policies in government contracting.

Although the deal, known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, has received relatively little media attention in the United States, it has sparked international friction among consumer groups and environmental activists who worry that terms demanded by the Obama administration will eliminate important public protections. Domestically, however, the deal's primary source of political tension is from a portion that could ban "Buy American" provisions -- a restriction that opponents emphasize would crimp U.S. jobs.

Since the 1930s, the American government has offered preferential treatment to American producers in the awarding of federal contracts. If a domestic producer offers the government a more expensive bid than a foreign producer, it can still be awarded the contract under certain circumstances, but more recent free trade agreements have granted other nations the same negotiating status as domestic firms. The Obama administration is currently pushing to grant the several nations involved in the Trans-Pacific deal the same privileged status, according to the Thursday letter.

"We do not believe this approach is in the best interests of U.S. manufacturers and U.S. workers," the letter reads. "Of special concern is the prospect that firms established in TPP countries, such as the many Chinese firms in Vietnam, could obtain waivers from Buy American policies. This could result in large sums of U.S. tax dollars being invested to strengthen other countries' manufacturing sectors, rather than our own."

The letter from members of Congress to the administration marks a rare glimpse inside the typically secretive trade negotiation process. The terms of the free trade negotiations, including the Trans-Pacific pact, are withheld from the public, even though the governments of all the countries involved have access to them. Many major U.S. corporations have access to the draft negotiation texts through their positions on advisory boards to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the White House agency which negotiates trade deals.

in the U.S. that offshore most of their manufacturing operations do not benefit from the system designed to promote domestic production in the way that companies with actual U.S. manufacturing operations do.
