Barack "High Sparrow" Obama is a lame duck President, but will he tolerate Nancy "Cersei" Pelosi defying him?
While I am no fan of Nancy Pelosi she is right about opposing fast track authority (although granted for the wrong reasons). Unfortunately, Obama is going to get plenty of help from Paul Ryan and John Boehner on this fast track trade authority. If Obama is so hot for it, it can't be good.

Update: To all those upset Jon Snow and Hillary Clinton fans
One point I think might be of interest.
ReplyDeleteThose who say Pelosi is angling for a better payoff may be right, but this was an affront to His Poutiness.
He personally went up to the Hill - something he never did for the stimulus, Cash For Clunkers, the GM bailout, or even SillyCare. He was too grand to muck about with mere pedestrian details, he let Pelosi Galore and Dingy Harry do all that - much to the frustration of Tippytoes.
He demanded loyalty from his vassals - and they shafted him.
I think if there's a way he can get back at her, he'll do it. She may be thinking just another deal.
I think he's thinking, "A sort of God is not mocked".
PS What's this "Lefties seeking support from conservatives to stop ObamaTrade"?
This seems to be the hipsters' spin on the vote to make the Demos' look good.
I seem to recall it was the Conservatives, especially Sessions, that were the first to scream about this.
