Rep. Paul Ryan delivers speech urging Republicans to back Obama on fast-track

[Panich52]

Rep. Paul Ryan delivers speech urging Republicans to back Obama on fast-track. WSJ:

“‘When the U.S. sits down at the negotiating table, every country at that table has to be able to trust us,’ he said. ‘… if our trading partners don’t trust the administration—if they think it will make commitments that Congress will undo later—they won’t make concessions. Why run the risk for no reason?’ But that’s not meant as ceding authority to the administration, he said. ‘I am not saying to enhance our leverage we have to enhance the administration’s power—far from it,’ Mr. Ryan said.”

Repubs just want 1st beneficiary of Fast Track to be corporate-written TPP

1. Yeah he would.

[dgibby]

2. Best argument ever for opposing TPP.

If Ryan is for it, it must be exceedingly detrimental to the rest of us.

3. +1

[arcane1]

4. Exactly.

5. Wow - Jamie Dimon whipping votes for reducing Wall Street regulations,

Paul Ryan makes speeches for Fast Track and the TPP - I am getting a bit queasy, being told that Obama is determined to push everything he wants through, in these last two years. He sure has a lot of help!

6. Obama and Paul Ryan alliance. Now what does that remind us of:

Remember this?

Clinton, Ryan caught on tape on Medicare cuts

It's an exclusive club, and we're not in it..

Third Way Democrats like to collaborate with Ryan.

7. But but nobody knows what's in it, so let's just TRUST them, right?

So can I call all the people who support the TPP Ryanbots now?

8. "...conservatives and those with tea-party leanings in the House, won’t vote for legislation ..."

"Mr. Ryan’s job is shoring up support among those House Republicans ..."

There is a lot of Obama's legislation that "conservatives and those with tea-party leanings in the House, won’t vote for".

9. The TPP, if passed, will go down as Obama's ultimate betrayal of those of us who supported him.
