The left is so wrong on the Trans-Pacific Partnership

12. Thank you for all those quotes from the link, MBS.. I think you're one of the rare people who

ever go to those links.. that I've heard about anyway.

I think there are some really intelligent people on TOD who have been into what's going on in politics for a long time. I've learned a lot over the years.. and I don't always agree with everything but there are great information gatherers!

Warren: Obama is intellectually dishonest.

Man, that's a fancy way of calling a man a liar.

Turns out Sen Warren is projecting..

"Elizabeth Warren is Not Telling the Truth About The Trans-Pacific Partnership Trade Deal"

As far as it goes, both groups probably have at least some reason to take offense, although President Obama’s occasional tendency toward informality is, right or wrong, verifiably not gender-based. But on the substance, there is clearly no contest: President Obama is right, and Senator Warren is wrong.

More precisely, President Obama is telling the truth about the deal, and Senator Warren is not. Since the TPP deal is still under negotiation, the merits of the final agreement are (or will be) debatable, but the deceptive rhetoric being employed by Warren is not.

The issue of trade is one of the (rare) areas in which I consider myself a moderate Democrat, able to see the merits of both sides of the question, but persuadable in either direction. Like many Democrats, I’ve got a strong sense that in trade deals past, we’ve gotten screwed, and that our leaders have not properly leveraged the value of the American consumer. On the other hand, President Obama makes a compelling case that the trade choo-choo is leaving the station, with us or without us, and so we’re better off having our hand somewhere on the throttle. Either way, I also believe that every leader needs political pressure from the left, because it makes them get us a better deal

And, of course, the OP points out EW's lies, too.

"But then we have Warren stating with a straight face that handing negotiating authority to Obama would “give Republicans the very tool they need to dismantle Dodd-Frank.”

Huh? Obama swatted down the remark as wild, hypothetical speculation, noting he engaged in a “massive” fight with Wall Street to get the reforms passed. “And then I sign a provision that would unravel it?” he told political writer Matt Bai.
