The New York Times: Reports on the war between the Obama White House and Senate Democrats over a trade bill, the article notes the following, " Mr. Obama’s decision to aggressively criticize Democrats opposed to the trade measure as misinformed, isolationist and politically motivated deepened a chasm over the issue, giving critics a vivid rallying point and Republicans like Mr. McConnell an easy scapegoat. "
Lets Get Real:
The Obama White House is finding that its power is waning, the Democrats in the Senate are already looking forward to the 2016 Presidential Election when they will be up for re-election, they need the liberal base to support them, the Unions always see trade deals as a threat to their workers. Thus the Obama Oval will have to use ALL its power to get the Democrats in the Senate to move, of course if the Democrats were afraid of the Oval they might not have jumped sides, but the Oval has not made any effort to have a good or even a warm relationship with the Democrats on the Hill. LBJ, Reagan and Clinton used their personal skills to gain votes, Obama expects Democrats to vote for his polices, as stated the only interest President Obama has is OBAMA, he does not care about the 2016 election and the money that Hill Democrats will need to get re-elected and even retake the Senate. It will be interesting to see how Hillary Clinton deals with this subject.
