The first part of the Senate bill has been voted down in the House.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -

In a stunning defeat for the White House, the House of Representatives on Friday voted down a measure creating an assistance program for workers displaced by free trade agreements.

This measure's passage was required before lawmakers could proceed to voting on trade promotion authority, and the move throws Obama's proposed trade deal with Asia into serious jeopardy.

We will vote out politicians who try and ram stuff by us.  No Democrat would admit this, or RINO, but the election last year and the Tea Party were a big reason for this.

Bills need to be in the open.  This hidden, secretive, shady crap -- especially when Hussein is running to the Hill like Willis Reed -- is a no go.

Now watch the spoiled brat veto his own Bill.

Pelosi was the surprise here. Expect the Obamatards to grease her exit at the end of her term.

Quote"I will be voting to slow down fast-track," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on the floor moments before the vote, after keeping her intentions private for months. "Today we have an opportunity to slow down. Whatever the deal is with other countries, we want a better deal for American workers."

The dramatic defeat could sink the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a sweeping free trade and regulatory pact that Obama has called central to his economic agenda at home and his foreign policy strategy in Asia. Obama's loss came after a months-long lobbying blitz in which the president invested significant personal credibility and political capital.

This has been a delightful quagmire.

Bribes stop? So does legislation. Bulworth's First Rule of Politics.   

This shows how much the democrat party is in disarray. When Pelosi throws the great leader under the bus we know his legitimate power is over. You just know he is pissed.

He still has his pen.

So does Congress and the Court. If he does go Varsity on childishness, this may be the opening to permanently limit the scope of executive orders, or at least freeze Hussein in place until they kick him out of Air Force One and he goes back to shaking down Chicago.

What's scarier is, if he does go Spoiled Brat and writes epic stupidity, then the Roberts court could get into it and EXPAND those powers. After the Obamacare betrayal I put nothing past either one of those trash.

I love the thought of it!!!

This is about as good as it has been since 2008!  Obama definitely has a temper and is not afraid to show it to certain people! 

The very thought of him seeing his own demise is exhilarating.  His "fall" has been great!  So, where does he turn for a much needed ego boost?

I am not sure he can handle it.

The only, and I mean only thing Gowdy has done, is act the good game of prosecutor on TV for our consumption.
The doesn't have a solid "C" rating for nothing. I expect to see his ass primaried.

He is hitting on zero here in SC.  First the Benghazi mess which is going nowhere, then the immigration event that he claims to have been in the dark about but was outed per news reported on it over a year ago  about resettlement, and now this voting on the trade bill.  He has stated recently that he was going to stay in office until he got to the bottom of Benghazi but then he was going to be out of politics.  I'm no longer interested in what he has to say about anything. 

As far as this trade bill is concerned and the skewed voting on it to pass, I can believe that our politicians know that it is a bad deal and what's worse they are in a protected position, have money and everything it takes to get along..  For this reason, I think they will consider their own personal interests when they vote.  They have already proven to me that they just want the best deal for themselves and to hell with us.

I believe word is getting out, and we may be to blame.
I used to see many commenters on Discuss touting Gowdy as their guy, but I haven't seen mention of his name in the last month.
I'm guessing people started asking questions, and we we're the first with the answers.

Yep, I believe he's seen the handwriting on the wall.  Just what else will he do in light of his constituents opinions remains to be seen.  I don't think he gives a chit.
