I think that, when it comes to the TPP, most of us have some notion that "well, this is probably a bad idea that favors the rich and screws the poor/average/everybody else..." the problem is with the lack of transparency. If Obama, or any of the powers that be - if they really want to push this forward, they need to provide the information to the general public about what it is, what it does, highlight anything positive the average person might get out of it. Come on television and explain it to us in simple language, that's not a difficult concept, somehow, I doubt it really requires chapters and chapters of legal jargon and bullspit to explain.
The secrecy of this thing, is, for me, enough to be very wary of it. The details that we have right now though, are... sketchy, at best.
