From Bloomberg.com:
Obama
It should be noted that the legislation in question is not a trade agreement. It concerns a process under which a trade agreement would be considered by Congress. In substance, it is similar to a closed rule, as there would be no amendments permitted and it would be subjected to a vote as is. Currently, negotiations remain underway and there is no Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement.
It doesn't matter what little hiccups happen along the way. Both parties are party to all trade bills that come down the pike which have always been beneficial to big business at the expense of American workers. Nothing will change.
