This must be a bit of a head-scratcher for the drooling morons who consume Fox "news" for their information on what's happening in the world:
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama and his Republican allies on trade are thinking of restarting their legislative push in the Senate.
It's testament to a crucial miscalculation they made months ago.
The White House and GOP leaders had assumed that congressional Democrats' eagerness to renew a job retraining program would trump their opposition to the "fast track" negotiating authority Obama seeks.
So they packaged both provisions into one bill. The Senate passed it and then the House ambushed it.
House Democrats wanted so badly to kill fast track that they sacrificed the job training program for workers displaced by trade.
So in the black-and-white world of right-wing ideology, who are the wingnuts supposed to cheer for here?
They're for "capitalism," so TPP and free trade must be good.
But Obama is for it, so it must be bad!
But Democrats are against it, so it must be good!
But Obama and his Republican allies have been conspiring together for months, trying to figure out ways to bribe or trick Democrats into supporting this Obama-Republican priority, so it must be.... urk! Heads explode!
