Well, no one is exactly sure, frankly, as it's been kept on the QT due to Obama honoring the other countries wish to keep it that way. I don't think at all the he should have signed it under those circumstances, keeping everyone in the dark about it. Make the facts public and let we, the people decide whether or not it should be signed by our representatives.

>Obama honoring the other countries...
Obumble has no honor. He is just a sneaky creep. Its secret because its very bad for us and if people knew, there would be massive protests. I am always amazed at how the sheep will keep blindly supporting a neocon in disguise just because he is a dem. When the news finally comes out, years later, the media will spin it in hope you sheep are too worn out and apathetic to rise up.

No, I certainly am not blindly following Obama by any means. In fact, I agree with you that he's turned out to be nothing more than a Neocon, light version. He has done quite a few good things, but increasingly more he's done some really bad things as well. I certainly won't be shedding any tears when he goes.

I'm against TPP as well. Not sure why you think everyone blindly follows.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Nobody knows exactly what it is because they are keeping it secret.

They support the bum who introduced it and kept it secret.

Hello Fal. Do you mind going into greater details as to why you are opposed to TPP?
If it pleases you.

Shit, I guess indeed nobody really knows. From what I have researched it certainly doesn't sound too good..
