Whoomp! There it is!
The TPP and TTIP are about HELPING American workers:
That's why I'm asking both parties to give me trade promotion authority to protect American workers, with strong new trade deals from Asia to Europe that aren't just free, but fair.
Look, I'm the first one to admit that past trade deals haven't always lived up to the hype, and that's why we've gone after countries that break the rules at our expense. But ninety-five percent of the world's customers live outside our borders, and we can't close ourselves off from those opportunities. More than half of manufacturing executives have said they're actively looking at bringing jobs back from China. Let's give them one more reason to get it done.
The President even
admits that previous trade deals, while
awesome for American workers, haven't been
as awesome as we'd hoped. Including, no doubt, the three Bush free trade deals that he forced through a Democratic Congress, that had stopped the same deals cold under Bush.
Everyone agrees that those deals have created
lots of American jobs but not quite as incredible number as we'd hoped (no need to look that up, you can trust me because I'm a Democrat like you.)
But this time,
it'll be different. He said it himself!
Can't we put this TPP and TTIP rancor behind us and support the President, now that he's acknowledged our friends on the Left and said this one will be different?

P.S. Can you please not post those cartoons of Lucy and the football? I hate those. And under the TPP, there's a provision that you'll go to jail for 6 years if you violate copyright by posting it, just one of the things you don't know about yet.
P.P.S. Was this good enough, Josh?
