clearly people that voted for obama are mentally unfit and unable to make sound decisions; therefore should surrender their right to vote

Another Canadian here. I can see some of the Obama hate but I don't see how he's worst than the last guy.

 

[Smooth_Operator]

Obama...Romney ...republicrats...it's all window-dressing and the illusion of choice. Forever-war and "socialized" medicine and further deregulation of industry of all sorts was gonna be on your dinner plate regardless of what menu item you ordered. The guys writing the big checks are making them out to both sides.

Relax, have a highball. I, for one, welcome our (not really) new corporatocracy overlords!

If you make less than $200,000 a year and think the right wing represents you, you're a fool, and what people call "walmart republicans," and what republicans call "pawns"

It's true.

You're welcome.

President Obama has a law degree and taught Constitutional Law.

You're obviously misinformed, hence all this hatred toward, let's face it, a figure-head.

You have nothing, no facts, no data to support any of these claims.

Oh my gosh. Are you really playing the race card? Oh, okay, because he didn't need to get his BA and then get into law school TO HAVE the proper credentials to teach Law at a prestigious university. You're absolutely right, he must have been ushered in because of the color of his skin. (Might I add that the president is half white? In case you forgot, or never knew)

You're so bitter, just like your party. A party which is responsible for delaying all of President Obama's bills and even for delaying paying 9/11 responders because the top 1% *need* their Bush-signed tax breaks.

Give me a break, you ignorant fool. You know not of what you speak.

If you make $200,00 per year, you have the freedom to choose anything you want. Who cares left wing or right wing when you are the top 5%

 

[lovecraft68]

I'll throw a wrench in the works though....the true 'poor' you think they vote? They're the ones that think voting is stupid....

So I agree that I think the guy is the worst president in history, but it was not the poor that put him in.

That's the point. Democrats are complicit. Democrats (at their core) are no different than Republicans. They both work for the billionaire class that own and rule us all. We're not Americans. We're obedient workers generating vast wealth to perpetuate the status quo.

He has not betrayed liberals at every turn, that's not even close to an accurate statement, however he's not a progressive but few dems are these days since the tea party has arrived and pushed everyone in politics to the right. Obama is a centrist. Look at Bob Dole's platform when he ran for POTUS in the 90's, if you didn't know he was a republican, you'd swear he was a democrat. I wish people would look at history instead of talking about things w/o that perspective.

Business needs the ability to relocate manufacturing abroad to cheaper labor markets. Then they will export said products back to this land at the same price. Lowering the total cost of making the product increasing the bottom line of the business. That or allow the persons in the target nations free access to come here and work for cheaper wages than the persons already in these jobs do today.

Moe Kinney Agreed, probably not. But what's the alternative?

In August 1971 Lewis Powell, a corporate lawyer and soon to be Associate Supreme Court Justice, wrote the "Powell Memo" to the US Chamber of Commerce detailing the blueprint for Big Business's take over of the US political system:

"... political power is necessary; that such power must be assiduously cultivated; and that when necessary, it must be used aggressively and with determination—without embarrassment and without the reluctance which has been so characteristic of American business.”

Nothing in the constitution defined money as speech and in the 250 years intervening no amendment altered that fact. Campaign finance reform began in the late 1800s but was not realized until the 1971 FECA legislation and was soon under assault.

From Buckley v Valeo in 1974 which struck down much of FECA ruling that limiting "money" limited "speech" protected by the 1st Amendment, to Citizens United, giving outside groups unlimited funding and anonymity, we now have a political system fully owned by Big Business.

With little difference between right and left, the question is who's the wife and who's the mistress.

It would indeed be a historic agreement... history would forever remember that the political elite who negotiated the TPP (in secret, no less) committed the single greatest act of Treason against their citizens. I also hope that history will also forever remember that those traitors were impaled on pikes and those pikes are set in the middle of the respective political debating chambers as a permanent reminder to their replacements that such treasonous acts will not be tolerated

The is not a trade agreement, but another vehicle to grant multinational corporations nation status so they can sue member nations if any of their laws impact deny access to markets. Sue them, in a kangaroo court made up of "judges" predisposed to finding for the plaintiffs, being that they are corporate lawyers themselves. Obama is and always had been a goldman sachs tool.

This is looking like the new world order, the corporatists have captured all National governments. The corporatist will be served first, the citizens of all of these countries will continue to only receive seconds.

I'm sure the ultra-partisan Democrats on this site will ignore this news and still insist that the Democrats are the champions of the middle class and oppose offshoring and are the party that wants good jobs for U.S. workers. Just like they ignore the fact that President Clinton singed NAFTA and GATT with strong Democratic support in both houses of Congress.
How many times must you be betrayed before realizing that both Republicans and Democrats have worked together on this relentless legislative strategy specifically designed to destroy the middle class?

Moe - most on this site realize Obama is a centrist, like Clinton, and a corporatist. His administration has done several good things, like Clinton's, but the TPP may define him more than Obamacare if it's passed.
That will forever tarnish his legacy with the 99%.

Jim Marra Perhaps I just apply different priorities than my left-leaning fellow citizens? To me, undermining the economic opportunities for U.S. citizens and poor farmer in other countries(not to mention escalating wars and destroying civil liberties) outweighs token gestures on marriage equality and reproductive rights. I think these sorts of betrayals tarnish not only the individual, but both political parties and the entire institution of government. I'm arguing that Democrats are NOT the allies of the middle class just because you might think Republicans are in some ways worse.

To all the other countries involved in these talks:

RUN FOR THE HILLS!

After seeing what NAFTA did for Canada, any sane nation would look at a "trade agreement" with the US as essentially coming down to "The US wants everything so you'll get nothing." You will be dragged into court over wheat that cannot grow in the US and resources like water, which the US unilaterally decided were "continent-wide" so it could come in, claim it, and send it off to California. You will have to put up with neverending arguments about softwood lumber, which had to go back to moderation no less than three times before the US finally gave up. And any environmental laws that you may have will be reduced to passing suggestions for the Americans.

These are not "agreements". These are ransom demands.

Sean - If you had said that Mexico had a negative impact because a Middle Class never formed, or the US Middle Class had a negative impact due to goods being produced in Mexico with cheap labor, you could be believable, but Canada...not so much:

Canada is the leading exporter of goods to the United States. Canada has so far experienced significant benefit from:

-U.S. investment in automotive production,
-Increases in oil exports to the U.S. and the rest of the world,
-Increases in shipment of beef, agricultural, wood and paper products to the U.S.
-Export of mineral and mining products, which have fared well in U.S. markets.

Canada has, however, experienced some losses in narrow sectors such as specialty steel production and processed foods due to U.S. imports.

Jim Newman Jim, there's not much automotive industry left in Canada: plants across Ontario and Québec have been closed for years. The jobs went south — and the irony of course is that when Mexico entered the equation, a lot of the US jobs went south, and the US Congress had a fit: "That's not how it's supposed to work!" they yelled almost in unison, and we in Canada laughed in response.

Exports to the US are great, but every single time we have to deal with the US threatening a trade embargo because this or that interest group in the States gets its nose out of joint over something or other. I'll refer you yet again to the idi.otic argument over sorghum wheat, which doesnt even grow in the US and yet the US's farm lobby fought long and hard against... for reason that still to elude me. Alberta beef? Nova Scotia potatoes? BC softwood lumber? Any of this ringing any bells for ya?

Canada has experienced a *lot* of losses thanks to this "agreement". Dont pretend otherwise, bud. Your dog simply will not hunt here. If anything, it's finally forced us to look at markets other than the US — something long past due, IMHO.

Jim Newman Canada and the USA have both geographical proximity and a roughly equal per capita income. Free trade might make some sense then. Where NAFTA did not work was Mexico, where it really has destabilized the country.
And for the USA that great sucking sound turned out to be the understatement of the decade.

NEWSFLASH: PRESIDENT IN ASIA FOR TRANS PACIFIC SLAVERY TALKS......

Republicans have stated that they are on the "same page" with the President regarding the slavery talks and both sides fully support the neo-Feudalization secret proposals which will continue to undermine the middle class, destroy their education system, and provide a permanent system to keep the millennials in financial bondage for the duration of their lives.

"Free trade" and Globalism are key elements in a new world order of mutual co-prosperity, harmony and enslavement. Experts emphasized that there was no connection at all with the World War 2 "Greater Co-Prosperity Sphere"

"The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere (大東亞共榮圏 Dai-tō-a Kyōeiken) was an imperial propaganda concept created and promulgated for occupied Asian populations during the first third of the Shōwa era by the government and military of the Empire of Japan."

And Hillary Clinton, NAFTA supporter extraordinaire, will love this deal. This is right up her center-rightist corporate alley. When are we going to stop supporting "Democrats" who are economically center-right and start supporting candidates who actually support Democratic views?

Deals like this are why America needs Elizabeth Warren.

The true reason Democrat Elitists attacked the Tea Party movement is because they are scared to death that true Democrats would see it and decide they liked the idea themselves of ejecting the "fake" Democrats and inserting true Liberals and Progressives instead.

Democrats need more than just Warren, Republicans have shifted mindsets because of the wider and more popular drive to Conservative beliefs. Democrats need to reject the Elitists like Obama and Hillary and start their own drive to retake their party.

Louis Weeks I agree that we need more than just Warren. But she is a once or twice in a generation talent. Where previous people have taken her type of populist path and ended up sounding unelectably esoteric, every word out of her mouth sounds as pleasingly all-American as apple pie. It's a rare gift indeed to be able to deliver such intellectual acuity with such a popular and mainstreaming touch. And it's what makes her such a great movement leader—she provides the language that other can take up and echo. It's not just empty preacher platitudes like Obama; it's backed up by a lifetime of substantial dedication to fighting the economic fight for average Americans. This time, we'd know we were getting the real deal.
