In reply to the discussion: Environmentalists Praise Wildlife Measures in Trans-Pacific Trade Pact [View all]Cha
(310,472 posts)19. Here's a Vid of 6 minutes of President Obama talking about it..
"Knocking down barriers.. and helping American Business people.. "
"American companies are not going to disadvantaged"
"Sets the highest Environmental standards in history.."
"Unlike past agreements on the environment.. these standards are actually enforceable.."
"If countries aren't abiding by them.. they don't get the benefits of selling to the United States."
"And.. we are writing the rules for the Global economy.. not China"
The President: "As I've said repeatedly.. I would only sign this if I could be absolutely sure it was good for American Workers, good for American businesses, good for American Farmers, good for American ranchers, good for American manufacturers,.. we have met that standard in this agreement.. "
".. step forward, but there's going to be a long healthy process of discussion. and debate.. before this ever comes to an actual vote.."
"Posted on the White House website so everyone can get a look at it.. not just Congress but the American People.. "
"... Months before this actually comes up for a vote.. "
".. Plenty of time to go over it.. "
".. I expect there will be some misinformation that is propagated around this.. "
".. And, it will be an enormous achievement.. for us to make sure that 40% of the World's economy is operating under rules that don't hurt us.."
".. making sure American business, workers, and Made in America.. are getting a fair shot.."
He's thanking ".. everybody around this table. "a diverse constituency.. a lot of different groups are represented.. thank all them for their work.. to getting us to this point.. "
"..now let's get across the finish line.."
".. I expect there will be some misinformation that is propagated around this.."
You can bet your bottom dollar on that President Obama! Can anyone say "fundraisers" on misinformation?!
