The fight over President Obama's trade agenda has gotten so ugly that one of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's closest friends in Congress accused her of subverting the will of House Democrats at a closed-door meeting of top party leaders on Wednesday, according to five sources.
"With all due respect," Rep. Rosa DeLauro said to Pelosi, you've "misread" the caucus. It might not sound like much, but that's a stiff charge. It suggests that Pelosi, the best vote counter of her era, is either slipping or intentionally undermining her colleagues. That was a bridge too far for Pelosi. Her aides began clearing the room of staff to limit the number of witnesses while she told the lawmakers who remained in the meeting that she's been trying to get the best possible deal for American workers.
Ultimately, DeLauro has become the point of labor's spear in trying to defeat a bill that would give Obama fast-track authority to negotiate trade deals. And Pelosi, who is claiming neutrality, has become a shield giving space for the White House and Speaker John Boehner to shepherd the trade bill through the House floor.

All Californians who have done this nation SERIOUS harm.
You win with Obama, though. He is the most DANGEROUS man ever elected to the oval office, IMHO.

Actually, the "establishment" is smoke and mirrors to hide the real controllers of our country and all other countries. I am well aware of this.

C'mon, don't forget about, "oops my state department is missing 5 billion dollars" Billary Clinton and her 5 billion dollar (or thereabouts) foundation windfall. That's one conniving and cancerous piece of work.

All the "Establishment" is in this one together.
McCain, Boehner, McConnell,
Doesn't matter what letter is behind your name when it is "establishment time" to make money.
