I received an email from Elizabeth Warren, pretty much in rebuttal of what the President said, see my previous blog Obama Says Elizabeth Warren Is ‘Wrong’ on Trade.

For all the corporations and their lawyers who have written sections of the TPP that we are not allowed to see, I wonder if the President would like to tell us how many labor activists, environmentalists, and other counterbalancing groups have been allowed to write sections of the TPP. If someone asks me to sign a blank check, I always say “No” in the most emphatic terms I can. If you want me to sign something, you’d better show me what I am signing, give me a chance to read it, and let me consult with my lawyers.

The response “but you can trust me” just makes me more suspicious. Why would the President trade his credibility for this “trade” deal?
