Elizabeth Warren is on the warpath against Obama and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement. Yesterday, on ‘hardball’ Obama called Chief Warren wrong about her facts on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement. Today, Elizabeth Warren, high cheekbones and all asked Obama, why can’t we read the TPP if it’s so good for America? Now, if Elizabeth Warren had been a Republican, she’d be accused of being a racist.

| Elizabeth Warren lashes back at Obama over TPP |
>Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) fired back at President Obama Wednesday over remarks he made a day earlier about her position trade, further underscoring the increasingly bitter divide among Democrats on the issue.
Appearing Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Hardball,” the president said Warren and other liberal critics of the administration’s position on a sweeping international trade deal known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) were on the wrong side of the debate.
Warren — spurred on by labor unions and outside progressive groups — argues that Obama’s policies would benefit big businesses and hurt U.S. workers.
“I love Elizabeth. We’re allies on a whole host of issues. But she’s wrong on this,” Obama said.
On Wednesday, Warren responded via Twitter.
“The Obama Admin says I’m wrong — we shouldn’t worry about TPP. So why can’t the American people read the deal?” she questioned.
