I trust Obama. I think he has the genuine welfare of the nation at heart while also looking at how the TPP could improve things overseas too.

That doesn't mean the deal should be rubber stamped as drafted. Others with trade expertise could see ways to strengthen this agreement before it goes into effect. Hopefully there is a great deal of oversight before it is passed (if it is passed).
