BUT, he brings a lot on himself...this is NOT from the Tea Party but one of the Democrats in congress after President Obama made one of his infrequent visits there on this subject. ""The President tried to both guilt people and impugn their integrity. I was insulted," Rep. Peter Defazio, D-Oregon, told reporters after the meeting." Democrats reject Obama's key trade proposal in House vote - CNNPolitics.com You see this kind of attitude attributed to the WH every time he needs to go and convince someone of anything. In addition on another thread, we find the new HUD rule, whispered about in 2013 and now it appears may become a reality.... Neighborhood engineering in essence.... "To qualify for certain funds under the regulations, cities would be required to examine patterns of segregation in neighborhoods and develop plans to address it. Those that don’t could see the funds they use to improve blighted neighborhoods disappear, critics of the rule say." "The regulations would use grant money as an incentive for communities to build affordable housing in more affluent areas while also taking steps to upgrade poorer areas with better schools, parks, libraries, grocery stores and transportation routes as part of a gentrification of those communities." Obama making bid to diversify wealthy neighborhoods | TheHill Honestly I have always ignored the Obama conspiracy books written, but understand this was in a book about his plans for redistribution of wealth which while I have ignored, he....the President...is getting my attention with some of his moves or lack of moves. He is scaring people right now. His inaction against all advice...his actions that seem to crystalize what people said he would do. It is a bit eye catching. The sheer mention of the Tea Party in your post says a lot. He, and other have successfully blamed this small group for just about everything. The biggest impediment the last years as been Harry Reid, who by the way, acted on the push of the President. If you read the post on the history of what we face in the ME, that alone should give you pause. |

Regarding the bill's failure today, since that happened ONLY because of Nancy Pelosi's opposition, does that mean you will be mailing her a Tea Party ID card? |

But, he will have that response to anything and everything. Whether it be race, politics or whatever. Interesting to see this quote used in the news today... " House progressives may have just had their tea-party moment. They went toe-to-toe Friday with their own president, the business community, and moderates of all stripes—and they won big. In overwhelming numbers, Democrats torpedoed a bill that would have moved President Obama closer to the landmark trade deal he's been seeking. And they did so hours after he visited Capitol Hill to make a personal appeal to their caucus." The Democrats' Tea-Party Moment - NationalJournal.com |

Mrs. Pelosi did not believe this was a good bill so she rallied support to vote it down. Nothing wrong with that. The "I hope Obama fails" attitude dates back to Rush Limbaugh who is dead from the neck up. If you fall into his camp, you also are a meathead. Yes, that goes for all Tea Ba--ers, too. |

The Black Caucus, for example, was supposed to weigh in heavy on this one but I have not heard how they voted on this bill but they sure were wooed. By the way, the Black Caucus has 45 members, and that Tea Party which everyone fears does not even caucus any longer and have less than 40 past members in congress. They represent an ideaology of less spending and thus if you oppose big spending, you get tagged, even though that is not true. But to your point, the largest caucus in the Democratic party is the Progressive caucus which numbers at last count at 69. |

In fairness I had been in neighborhoods in Memphis where the main population was black and they had an almost artistic bend to their yards immaculate homes ...and that is the issue those good neighborhoods thrived because the people worked their way to prosperity and cherished their success and assets vis a vis people who ere not ready emotionally or financial . As toTPP competitive/comparative advantage is a good thing when it comes to trade. Its obvious unions and those politicians who rely on unions to get re-elected to oppose this bill because unions will no longer have a monopoly on such trade and actually have to compete. In the long run trade is a good thing if it is applied on a level play field. Look at what foreign competition did in the auto industry. I am conflicted when it comes to private sector unions. On the one hand I do not like ti see say the longshoremen close our ports because they want more and more of whatever they can extort without any corresponding increase in productivity efficiency , etc. However I do believe we are entitled to the prevailing market wage. Of greater concern are public unions because politicians are the ones negotiating and they kowtow to unions in exchange for votes. Many cities are under the yoke of union benefits that are creating unfunded pension and benefit plans. Its gotten way out of hand and if not corrected taxpayers are going to on the hook for a massive bailout for some cities and states 40% or more of the budget goes to unions. And not least forget that public union workers incompetence is no basis for firing them |

The only thing I can figure is these trade agreements are just one more closer step to one world government.

Until and if we ever get to see them, the benefits and benefactors of the agreements.
What is the current status? How does the agreement make it better? What improvements does the agreement bring? Until then all we have is political, media, partisan and special interest mumbo jumbo.....the usual. |
