President Obama has no experience in business, yet he continues to try to pick winners and losers in commerce. One of the largest trade pacts in the history of the world is just one such example.
It is hard to say who will win and who will lose with that trade deal because most of it is being kept secret, with no chance for the public or U.S. businesses to comment or object since the negotiations are being held in secret, which is not a surprise from the “most transparent administration in history.”
This is the same kind of nonsense that happened with the nuclear weapons pact with Iran, which turned out to be a gigantic giveaway by the U.S. to the Iranians, with the mullahs now ignoring virtually all aspects of the agreement and still calling for death to America. Obama is one crafty negotiator.
Obama and his administration is also as corrupt as they come and he and his cronies should all be sharing a jail cell instead of the White House. An example of the kind of dishonest, insider dealing from the administration comes from New Balance shoes.
Insider wheeling and dealing with New Balance, page 2:
This filthy SOB should get much worse than jail time.
DUCK OBLOM
He’s never been a business man or a leader either all he knows is to do executive orders and bring in all the illegals !!
This could be especially bad news for Maine workers. New Balance has a factory in Norridgewock. Another one in Skowhegan if I remember correctly.
I’m only repeating a earlier comment by someone that had a very good point!

I feel much better now. I had been under the impression he hadn’t been doing ANYTHING… Such an accomplished individual… in the eyes of the ignorant maybe.!.
So funny to watch obama force New Balance to move it’s manufacturing offshore so he and hillary will be able to say how terrible American corporations are that do this. It’s a direct result of obama’s lies and the weakening of the US that both hillary and obama have pushed for.
He is just like Clinton, wanting other countries to benefit before Americans do
If you’re stupid enough to do a deal with Obama you deserve the result.
The CEO of new balance knew better…but he complied and got burned . Now he is back-pedaling .we all know this administration is crooked…the question is what are you going to personally do about it? What are you willing to actually do to change what is going on in our country?
The guy has no idea what he is doing. Total stooge for anti American policies. We can only hope we have a country left after his reign of terror is over. Time for a President that has some sort of financial sense.
