This is just about the most messed up situation ever.
If a Republican congress passes it will they blame even one of those Republicans? Probably not!
Oh hell yes they will.
“The House passed legislation to restore presidential power to ease trade pacts through Congress, as Republicans and pro-trade Democrats drove through a new fast-track bill a week after liberals brought down a similar measure in an uprising against their own president,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“The 218-208 vote was the House’s second attempt to give President Barack Obama the power to submit trade deals to Congress for an up-or-down vote without amendments. But the course forward is uncertain. The fate of the fast-track legislation is intertwined with a related measure to help workers hurt by international trade. Many pro-trade Senate Democrats say they won’t vote for the fast-track bill without evidence the workers’ aid program will pass both chambers.
Looks like BoehnerTrade is chugging along, good job Republicans!
