Remember, the Prime Minister of Japan is Shinzo Abe:

Japan's Abe urges support for trade pact in speech to Congress

Shinzo Abe to Congress: Japan won’t shy away from reforms needed for trade pact

Japan, NZ agree U.S. fast-track bill vital for TPP talks: Amari

Suga says U.S. fast-track bill indispensable for TPP agreement

  • Japan’s top government spokesman said on Wednesday that a fast-track bill in the United States was necessary for the creation of a 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a free trade zone covering 40 percent of the world economy.


U.S. Senate approves fast-track trade authority for Obama

  • The U.S. Senate overcame bitter divisions on trade policy and passed legislation that gives President Barack Obama authority to swiftly forge international trade pacts, including a landmark Pacific Rim accord under negotiation. The bill, which pushes Obama’s top legislative priority in his second term, passed on a 62-37 vote, with all but a handful of Republicans backing their rival in the White House.

That tyrant, the treaty will destroy Japan if he signs it, corporate rule will be the undoing of mankind. He needs to rethink his actions.

I really hope that President Obama will really think twice before signing that TPP treaty. If Congress ratifies it, it will literally invalidate one of his goals that he campaigned on: making health care affordable and accessible to all, particularly the poor.
