Millions of “the 99%” of us have piously and stubbornly
clung to the belief that U.S. President Barack Obama has really wanted
to do some “good works” on behalf of us — the poor, the working class,
the oppressed Afro-American, Latino and other nationalities and the
middle class — that is, the overwhelming majority of the people within
the U.S. multinational state. According to this belief, it is the
monstrous, even demonic, white supremacist Republicans that have blocked
the allegedly well-intentioned Democrat Obama at every turn.
For this multitude, the scenario that is currently unfolding around the
“Republicrat” efforts on behalf of the U.S. ruling class, the Wall
Street capitalists, to have the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) ratified
by Congress is a miracle that rivals the lions laying down with the
lambs! This is especially true because the key link to TPP passage is
the granting of Fast Track Authority (FTA) by the Republican-controlled
Congress to their supposed “nemesis,” Democratic President Obama!
