After President Barack Obama teased MSNBC for some of its hosts vocal opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, Ed Schultz whipped out his trademark bluster and challenged the president to a face-to-face debate on the trade deal.
If you were watching MSNBC and all of this stuff thinking, Oh, man, I love Obama, but whats going on here? the president said Thursday in Washington, D.C. So I want to the record straight here. I want everybody to be clear about what were doing. Because I believe in what Im doing here.
Well, Mr. president, I want you to know that I believe in what Im doing, Schultz replied on his show. If you can prove to the American people that there will not be a depression of wages, if you can prove to the American people that this will create jobs, if you want to go face to face with me, President Obama, Im ready to go because I have the facts, okay?
On-air guest Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) assured his host that the president is talking about you, because no television host has discussed the trade agreement as much as Schultz.

And I like Shultz mostly, and will continue to even as he is wrong on this.

(36,063 posts)His heart is in the right place, but even with the missing draft of 25 chapters of trade bill, Ed is not up to that challenge
