What kind of clown urges Congress to pass a treaty he never sent to the Senate?
The kind of clown this country elected in 2008.
Colombia, let us remember, actually has waged a successful campaign against narco-terrorists cum gangsters, and ran the bad guys (supported by Chavez) to ground. This, of course, is an unforgivable sin in ObamaLand, where the crooks win and their victims are derided for defending themselves.
In any case, it's a trade treaty that might actually help foment some productive business activity (also highly suspect). But count on Obama to sign this one in public, surrounded by Democrat Senators, and you can bet money he'll take credit for having negotiated the deal. Which of course, will be a bald-faced lie. Which of course matters not a whit in ObamaLand.
