Elizabeth Warren says that the Trans Pacific Partnership “trade” pact is a bad deal, but Obama says she’s wrong”“
“I love Elizabeth. We’re allies on a whole host of issues. But she’s wrong on this,” he said.
“I would not be doing this trade deal if I did not think it was good for the middle class,” Obama added. “And when you hear folks make a lot of suggestions about how bad this trade deal is, when you dig into the facts, they are wrong.”

What an odd thing to say, considering Obama won’t let us dig. So far, the only facts we’ve been privy to are those that have leaked through sources like Wikileaks. The entire strategy of the proponents is to keep everyone, including Congress, in the dark until the very last moment, at which time Congress must vote the deal up or down without having a chance to “dig into the facts” to figure out what they’re voting on.
