Hillary Clinton: Obama Should Listen To Nancy Pelosi On Trade

[UCmeNdc]

Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton encouraged President Barack Obama on Sunday to listen to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D) on trade.

"The president should listen to and work with his allies in Congress, starting with Nancy Pelosi," Clinton said while speaking at a rally in Iowa.

Pelosi took to the House floor Friday to oppose trade legislation Obama had personally lobbied for on Capitol Hill earlier that day.

“We have an opportunity to slow down,” Pelosi said. “Whatever the deal is with other countries, we want a better deal for America’s workers.”

Clinton encouraged lawmakers to work together to "make sure we get the best, strongest deal possible."

"And if we don’t get it, there should be no deal," she added.

Clinton said she wants to "find out what's in it and make it as good as it can be," and pushed for more transparency "so the American people can actually see what will be in a finalized deal."

House Democrats rejected Obama's trade agenda Friday by blocking a measure that would have granted him the power to fast-track sweeping, secretive international agreements through Congress.

1. What a hypocritical pile of bullshit

Like SHE would ever listen to Pelosi if she were the one trying to polish that turd.

That seems like a really cheap shot since I suspect if the truth were known Clinton's fingerprints are all over the TPP.
