It would upset the Clinton Obama alliance if she jeopardized Obama's pet project. It's on his list of "serious people" legacy accomplishments, like the failed Grand Bargain or cutting "entitlements"

a system called Capitalism. Presidents don't send jobs anywhere. Corporations run by private businessmen like Rmoney and Trump do. Politicians like our congress critters pass laws that benefit businessman who send jobs overseas. They can over rule any presidential veto of these laws. Please get your facts straight.

So tired of hearing the president has no power. That is apparently only true if you need to help working families, students, the non-rich, elderly, etc

But for corporation, somehow the POTUS summons super powers.

In that case, they seem to be completely impotent, don't they?

Don't tell me I'm obligated to vote for a corporate stooge because on some phony scale that corporate stooge appears less evil
