This one comes to us from the Huffington Post. (A once dependable Obama supporter!)

It seems that the rats are running from the sinking ship. THis is how the President intends to rid us of even more of our jobs. Our President might have been born here, but he is not an American at heart.

He is working hard to help his country. (Muslim Indonesia) Obama wants to give them even more of our jobs.

We now know why so many huge "International" Corporations have given so much cash to the President!

Notice that most of the comments are from Democrats.

WASHINGTON -- A critical document from President Barack Obama's free trade negotiations with eight Pacific nations was leaked online early Wednesday morning, revealing that the administration intends to bestow radical new political powers upon multinational corporations, contradicting prior promises.

The leaked document has been posted on the website of Public Citizen, a long-time critic of the administration's trade objectives. The new leak follows substantial controversy surrounding the secrecy of the talks, in which some members of Congress have complained they are not being given the same access to trade documents that corporate officials receive.

"The outrageous stuff in this leaked text may well be why U.S. trade officials have been so extremely secretive about these past two years of [trade] negotiations," said Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch in a written statement.

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) has been so incensed by the lack of access as to introduce legislation requiring further disclosure. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has gone so far as to leak a separate document from the talks on his website.

Other Senators are considering writing a letter to Ron Kirk, the top trade negotiator under Obama, demanding more disclosure.

The newly leaked document is one of the most controversial of the Trans-Pacific

This is actually quite stunning if this leaked material is real.

This trade agreement gives foreign corporations incredible power to sue governments in foreign tribunals run by the UN and World Bank.

If a Chinese company opens a coal fired power plant in the US they can tell the EPA to go F themselves and if the EPA persists the Chinese company can sue the US government..

WOW

Obama is helping with these leaks. He is very much anti-American. That's been long known.
