It sounds terrible. Especially the part about exempting the Pacific Trade Agreement from congressional oversight. That thing was written by special interests for special interests and removes a lot of the US's sovereignty wrt the power of our courts, enforcement of labor or environmental laws, enforcement of safe working conditions, and who knows what else. Frankly, when 3/4ths of the treaty doesn't deal with trade can it still be called a trade treaty? Most of it deals with removing American sovereignty and subjecting us to the desire/whims of foreign courts and foreign bodies which have their own agendas. It is not something I could support even if they falsely call it a trade treaty.

Getting a little ahead of themselves, win the election first then come up with an agenda.

Steer clear of negative statements, good luck.

I noticed ole Billy Graham has a floating ad asking me to cast my vote for America and Jesus. Once one does, they have captured the email address of a kindred spirit and will sell it to anyone looking to make a $.

I'll bet you even CD does that. Facebook sells everything about you. There's money to be made in what one likes or the web sites one visits, etc.

Good for the Senate. Given that Congress is filled with tea bagging nutjobs who can barely get anything done I doubt that it's Obama or the Democrats that they need to concern themselves with.
