Obama is a worse president than GWB, he lies hes broken promises. Hes done nothing for the working class.
When Mitch Mc Connel and other republicans Praise Obama for his valiant fight to push this trade deal through. That says it all to me.
I cant wait till hes gone even if he gets replaced with a Republican. At least with a republican I know the working class is going to get shafted for the rich.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) issued a report Monday morning detailing decades of failed trade enforcement by American presidents including Barack Obama, the latest salvo in an ongoing (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/24/obama-tears-into-elizabet_n_7137854.html) public feud between (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/25/elizabeth-warren-tells-ob_n_7142850.html) Warren and Obama over the Trans-Pacific Partnership.Obama is currently negotiating the major trade pact with 11 other nations. While the text of the TPP agreement remains classified information, it is strongly supported by Republican leaders in Congress and corporate lobbying groups including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The deal is opposed by most congressional Democrats, along with labor unions, environmental groups and advocates of Internet freedom.
Obama has repeatedly insisted the TPP will include robust labor protections, and has dismissed Warren's criticisms as "dishonest," "bunk" and "misinformation." On Monday, Warren fired back, showing that Obama simply has not effectively enforced existing labor standards in prior trade pacts. According to the report, a host of abuses, from child labor to the outright murder of union organizers, have continued under Obama's watch with minimal pushback from the administration.
"The United States does not enforce the labor protections in its trade agreements," the report reads, citing analyses from the Government Accountability Office, the State Department and the Department of Labor.
