Thomas Williams:
I dislike Mitch McConnell as much as I do Barack Obama and with each passing day, I completely understand why. Mitch McConnell is only interested in doing what is best for the members in the Washington DC establishment. The elected few who control the leavers of power in the American people Goverment. Never for the benefit and self interest of us the American people.
So when we elect either a Republican or Democrat we the people are always playing into these guys U.S. Government political corruption, and aiding them in the way that they fix the Washington DC political game.

Liberal senators imperil Obama trade bill
The White House and Senate Republicans are scrambling to win enough support for a key procedural vote Tuesday to move forward with President Obama’s trade agenda.
The vote is shaping up to be one of the most dramatic roll calls of this Congress and could be a stinging rebuke of the president by members of his own party. It may also doom a sweeping Pacific trade agreement that is a top priority for the Obama administration.
Trade bills traditionally pass the Senate with ease and face stiffer winds in the House. But this time around, there are major hurdles in both chambers.
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) is trying to block the pending “fast-track” trade bill and has asked his conference to demand that three other measures be included in the legislative package.
The Wall Street Journal reported late last week that Sen. Ron Wyden (Ore.), the senior Democrat on the Finance Committee, told colleagues in a lunch meeting that fast-track should be combined with the other bills, including a measure with controversial language cracking down on currency manipulation.
"It’s unclear if the White House and GOP leaders can get the necessary 60 votes to advance the legislation. Senate aides on both sides of the debate anticipate a close vote.
Florida Sen. Bill Nelson, one of seven Democrats to vote for fast-track in the Finance Committee last month, said Monday afternoon he would not vote to end debate on the motion to proceed to trade legislation unless all four bills are combined.
He said the Democratic caucus is unified on the question, kicking the ball back into McConnell’s court."
